On loan at Fev until the season end. Will be good experience for him and a bit nearer than Barrow. https://wakefieldtrinity.com/blog/2022/ ... loan-deal/

Seems a bit of an odd one to me, guess WP knows more than me but would have thought that he was worth a run out with first team before we lent him out. I know he's raw and young but we have plenty of experienced forwards that could have mentored him in a couple of games.

From what I've seen he isn't quite there yet and getting game time in tge division below, with an experienced coach is better for him I think.
We can recall him any time.

For me I agree he’s not quite there but tbh I wouldn’t want to introduce many youngsters into the team at the moment. If we were just mediocre then maybe but at the moment it’s a player breaker.

Like it or not it’s up to the senior players to dig us out of the hole they have put us in.

I don’t think he’s quite there for SL yet. Still a big jump from the championship / reserve environments.

This is a really good move for him and can only be of benefit to all concerned

Got to agree with Mr Vastman - I wouldn’t be putting a youngster in to that pack at the moment. Could completely break him

Cracking for both clubs and the player himself this for me

If he keeps up the hard work a bright future awaits him I’m sure ,and hopefully in a wakefield shirt

On the field for Fev now on Premier sports. A few strong carries to start off from him.

Nice tackle bust and offload from him almost setting up a try.

This will be a good game for him as his team is dominant so will get lots of chances.

Seems he had a big game for Fev with one journalist questioning why we would let him go on loan!
I think it's a good move - as long as we get him back!

Sam is only a young kid but seems to have much promise.
Agree he's not yet ready for SL first team rugby, and he's still only in his teens. Looks good for the future though.

As a Fev fan who's watched both his games for us plus two games for Barrow, I'd agree with this. He's still very raw, needs to build up his stamina, and needs work on his defensive technique - all of which are exactly what you'd expect of someone of his age in that position.

He clearly has huge promise though and it will be very interesting to see how he gets on if he's selected against Leigh next Monday. The general feeling seems to be that Leigh's pack might be the best ever seen in the Championship (they looked stonrger for most of the game when they played Hull KR in the cup, too). I wouldn't necessarily have expected him to be selected but Fev are riddled with injuries in the pack so he might well play, even if it's only for a short spell off the bench.. He'll be targeted in defence for sure if he does, so it will be interesting to see how he holds up.

Exactly.

You only have to look at him to see how young he really is. Despite his obvious size he’s still got some puppy fat. He also as you say lacks stamina and that general athleticism that he will have in a few years time.

Although he’d do his best for me the Leigh game might be too much but he could prove me wrong.
