| Quote: Trojan Horse "I beg to differ and Boothroyd showed a lot more and continues to do so than Shaw despite being almost 3 years Shaws junior.
I know full well you can’t have a team of superstars and need reserve and back up squad players. I’m just not convinced that Shaw is or ever will be SL level standard. If he is to be a trinity player next season regardless I will fully support him and hope I am wrong and that he progresses well.
We also have Lingard as the player to develop and in a way he could very well have taken Shaw’s spot already.
Of course I don’t think talent is purely in the nrl. There’s plenty of talent in the uk, the issue is that a lot of it is locked down at their respective clubs.
This is about my thoughts on Shaw and I have reservations as to whether he will ever be good enough for SL and his recent injury record. I may not end up being right but that’s my present thoughts which may change if I see more of him.'"
I genuinely think Lingard is a better player now at 17 than Shaw is at 22.
Shaw is still young, still got plenty of time, especially in the position he plays, but I actually think he has struggled at this level to make any sort of impact, regardless of his wage which somehow Vastman seems to know, I think there are better players to carry in the squad both in terms of where they are at now as a player but also potential for the next few years (see Lingard).

| If we are after another out and out prop, I do wonder if the club have considered Chris Hill for a year, 36 but just made Wanes England squad, so still up there and on the outer at Hudds.

| Wonder if Shaw could drop back a row? He seems to have more of the build of a second row than a prop

If we are after a prop it probably wouldn’t be a starting prop and one who would be more of a squad player.
I’d look at Bienek at London as he seems to have impact and looked good in the 2 games I’ve seen him.
Regards your other post. Shaw is one of those who will probably come good in his mid - late 20s. It’s whether the club feels it want to persevere with him or sees enough in him. He may already be under contract and I’m fine with that.
Still very interested to see who we have signed for next season.
As mentioned Royle could be worth a look as an edge forward. Think he’s quite a big lad seeing him play for saints earlier this season but he seems more like an Ashurst type of player.

| Good decision that.
I think he'll be a great player, and not too bad already.

| Booth will certainly add good cover to the full back, centre and wing. Can’t beat speed and the lad has that.
Reminds me of Matty Ashton. I also think he’d make a good winger.

| It’s pleasing to know that we could field a quality home grown back line that, fingers crossed they keep on developing, could be a match the some of the best in the game.

Is Booth home grown?

| I think we'll see Booth transition more into a three quarter. Max has got the full back shirt nailed down, and then with Rourke coming in we look covered there for at least a couple of years. And from what I've seen so far of Booth, I think he's got the size and speed to make an impact there.

Booth also seems to be able to pass on the right well. I noticed at full back he often attacked to create space e on the right as opposed to Max who gravitates left. Could be a good option for right centre in the future.
Going to be a fight for that right centre spot. Hall, Scott, Booth. Though Scott may play second row.
I imagine Roarke if he signs will cover like Booth the back line.

| I doubt that we'll pursue Rourke now.

What makes you say that?
We certainly need another good 5/6 players so he could still be on the cards.
The Roarke rumour was weeks ago so I’d imagine the pursuit is already over one way or the other.
