| looks like he will be a real find. If he can play blike that after 3 days in the country what will he be like later. Look forward to seeing him again.
on a side note Trout needs a new haircut looks like a cross between Phil Oakey and Eraserhead.

| I thought he did show that he could be a good find, his off loads I particular liked when coming into the tackle
he looks a good strong runner and I do think we could have a real gem here, having watched a few you tube clips he has impressed me more today than them
one good thing that came from a shocking performance today

Plus side.. Tautai an amazing find. Down side..will be at a top side in 2 mins if that off the plane performance is anything to go by. Trout...another too small player. When will we learn that in SL size matters???

| Bet he wishes he took the option to sign for Cas.
Give him a few games and Agar will have coached him down to our level.

Agreed its far too early, that said he played like a derby game meant something to him.

| One of 2 or 3 players who played like he meant it; it's a poor state of affairs when a bloke who's just got off a plane from the other side of the world is more fired up for a local derby than your regular lot.
The one positive out of a thoroughly depressing 80 minutes.

| Not a fan of the signing in principle, and our ongoing insistance of importing players (particularly mid season) but he did seem to put a very good shift in all things considered - showed some nice touches and good enthusiasm and was probably the highlight of a rather crappy 80mins.
Well played lad.

It's a pretty simple situation. If the homegrown players can't cut it - which they can't - then I'd rather we get imports in that can. Nationality doesn't matter one iota to me. It is the responsibility of homegrown players first and foremost to show they can cut the mustard. It's no surprise that nearly all our imports are the better players in our team: Aiton, T. Smith, Collis, Tautai (yesterday), Poore (probably been our best prop all year). Our forwards have been dire this year in my opinion and the disruption in the halves with injuries to Smith and Sykes have compounded this. Kyle Wood isn't super league standard in anything but his pace. Kyle Trout lacks strength, go forward, pace, an offload game, i just don't understand what he does offer apart from effort. Lee Smith is an average centre and absolutely turd in any other position. Raleigh looks like he could be past it. Amor - not consistent enough this season. Cockayne and Fox are liabilities defending kicks. Mathers is just steady away. All in all, the team has no quality outside of the import contingent in my opinion.

Not a bad assessment. The way i see it is that we have 3 groups of players in our squad; The overseas imports, British players signed from other clubs and our own home grown talent. Now, rank those three groups in order of best to worst according to the number of players making the best contributions, regardless of team form, and I think people would have to concede that the rankings would be as follows:
1) The overseas imports
2) Brits from other clubs
3) our own talent pool
Take aiton, tim smith, poore, ali and collis out of our team and we'd be a lot closer to the wooden spoon than we already are. Now look at the Brits from other clubs...mathers, lee smith, charlie, kirmond etc... they're all holding their place down and contributing more than the talent that we're developing ourselves. Annakin aside, our 'stars of the future' are all struggling to stand out in the championship, and for that reason we cannot just give them all a go like some people are calling for. They woud quite simply be out of their depth.
Id love us to be a top 6 team on a regular basis and we're currently living proof that we cant achieve that with what weve got, nevermind promoting youth. The only way we're going to make those strides is to attract better british players from other clubs and a higher class of overseas import.

| I cannot argue with that Adam.
We need the best team we can acquire, wherever the players come from.
Not saying bring in dross.
Get some success.
I've only been waiting since the 60's.
Then we can damn well invest money required into more home grown quality players.
