Totally agree, Cowling started the St Helens one pointer game at home last season and his tackling/defence was outstanding - his attacking side can definitely be improved as he is still young (20/21 i believe) but yeah, the future looks good.

I've been down to see the academy a few times also and James Healy and Corbyn Kilday are promising prospects as well.

Just watched the Saints' match highlights and impressed with Lynne.
I know only pre season and only highlights ,but I think we may have found something here.

Hull fans were excited about him but agar never gave him a decent run in the 3/4s. Then put him to FB, where he had a nightmare and never recovered.

I think you may have a gudn in time and wish him all the best.

Not doing bad for a lad classed as an apprentice ie not on the minimum wage.

I certainly wouldn't put the lad in the same bracket as Watkins - I think he is / will be close to Tomkins as the 'special one' in SL - he has everything!

The comparison I would make is with Hardaker - not saying he's there yet, but neither was Hardaker when he joined Leeds. I do think he has all the attributes to be the best backline player at BV!

I have to laugh at the Hull fans though - sorry guys, but you can't blame Agar when it he who has signed him - for 3 years - despite the relatively small amount of game time at Hull - and I reckon it will soon be seen as one that slipped through the (fishing) net - and that's without trauling through your board!

In the first game we played against Leeds I thought he stood out and looked like a real prospect for this season, said on here after the game that I was surprised no one else hadn't mentioned him. It's good to see he's been good in all 3 games so far, it bodes well.
