Jordan Grayston been offered a decent deal down under aswell but the club (WTW) are having further talks with him.

Ive seen Lillycrop and I thought he had huge potential carried it in like a train. This is a bad decision by the club would have gave him a few games this season.

the lad tried hard but had the shape of a bowling ball, poor defence and no reset speed when he made the tackle, were talking him going up several levels here lets be realistic.

Hope he proves the doubters wrong and is back at WTW as a Super League Prop in a couple of years.

SL have made a very bad decision to scrap the U21 and I accept that under the circumstances it is impossible to keep all our young players only time will tell if we have kept the right ones I am pleased we have signed young Fletcher Cowling looks a good prospect and Trout will kick on next season onward and upward

The problem here is that you are utterly wrong yet you will probably turn out to be absolutely correct.

The idea for me is utterly sound and the only ay to go, the under 21 comp has not been the success we hoped for and NL1 RL offers far more chance for the growth of a player IMHO.

Hoever the short sighted nature of ALL SL clubs suggest what should happen won't. Whilst ever SL clubs remain mesmerised by all things down under or persist with past it domestic players I fear the worst. I fear they will forget these players, not monitor them and then offer the few they do nothing like the money they offer past it Aussie journeymen to re-enter the pro game. The talent will be in NL1 as players develop at their own pace but I doubt many coaches and lets be honest a lot of want it now fans will ever bother to spot it.

Thus we will waste talent and we will be no better off. Even the NL1 teams won't benefit that much, not whilst ever SL is denied to them as a right. The whole game is lop sided at the moment and require a totally new mind set or we will sink fast.
