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???

Looked great, I bet he's wondering what the hell he's let himself in for!

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.

too early good start but lets look at him after 10 games

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.

If you dont mind me asking who were the other two and the worst performers because after yesterdays defeat i got slaughtered

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.

Don't worry old cocker if he keeps it up you lot will soon be after his services

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.

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.

Exactly Belle Vue Lifer.
