No you are.

Just look at what you wrote.

I know very little about him but your description is that of an excellent prospect. Don’t see your problem.

Why not just laugh it off, I accept you probably didn’t mean to do it, chill out.

This is where you and a few others are making a critical error. I get why a certain father may have an issue but it shouldn’t bother the rest of us.

We run youth teams in the hope that they will produce first teamers but we don’t owe them the chance, I’m sorry but we don’t, it’s just like any other job. The fact that the lad in question supported the club is even less relevant, I support the club but I don’t expect a game.

It doesn’t even matter if the player we let go is any good, all that matters is that his replacement is better. WP will live or die by these decisions.

It’s strange how people bring in emotions and loyalty but it all seems very selective.

How many players who have professed to love the club moved on to bigger clubs at the first opportunity? Loads. I don’t see the clubs loyalty being appreciated all that often either.

Of course I want to see Academy players make it but nowhere near as much as I want to see the first team win things. In that regard I really don’t care how we come across players.

RL is a pro sport and the people running it have to be ruthless on occasions, we can’t please everyone.

I have had the nod from someone who knows. It's a good move for the club.

Big step up to SL, but he has the potential to be the real deal.

Ahead of Croft in skills (ATM), and stronger than he looks.

Time will tell, but I trust the judgement of my source implicitly.

Your making a fool of yourself, you've turned what was meant to be a bit of helpful info into a negative. Often happens when someone cant accept not having the last word, they go on and on which results in drivel like this, looking through this board from time to time, i see its a usual occurrence for you.

Lets look at some of a rugby players attributes i didnt mention:

Pace
Agility
Footwork
Strength
Acceleration
Defence
Line Running

Some pretty important attributes for a centre in that list and i didnt mention any of them in my original post, yet you think iv described an 'excellent prospect' due to 'workrate' and 'a bit of class' . I didnt mention what he's not so good at because i wasnt writing in here to be negative about the player and didnt want to come across that way, often when fans of another team post on boards theres a tendency for some to go on the defensive. It seems i hadnt given your good self enough credit.

Like iv said, people can define anything how they choose, and again, if you want to define what i said as an excellent prospect, even though theres a list a mile long of key attributes that i didnt mention, then im ok with that, but i would be left wondering if you know much about the game. Sorry if that seems a touch harsh.

I do, I take mi booits every week just in case!

No love you are. Take your spade and stop digging.

For some reason you’re trying to convince me that the kid isn’t an ‘excellent prospect’ why???? I never said he was, has the penny dropped yet?

Just read on the YEP site that we paid a fee for him so we must think highly of him.

Excited to see how this pans out.

Wonder if that's the compensation we got for the Catalan centre who gave back word

Oh dear, love indeed, someone getting agitated?

Neither of us have said he's an excellent prospect and neither of us have described him as one...Penny dropped!

If I may be so bold, without wanting to offend. The truth, for want of a better word, is usually somewhere in the middle.
With that in mind I’d say what constitutes an excellent prospect at Leeds is somewhat different to what that looks like at clubs like Wakefield & my own club; Castleford. Neither one of you is right; neither one of you is wrong!

Jeez can this thread get more dim witted.

Of course I’m not wrong. How can I be wrong. Read the thread from the start. I’ve not said anything, I know nothing about this player, how difficult is that to understand.

It this weird Leeds fan who seems intent on arguing with himself. So again it’s his opinion on the player that’s up for debate, I DON’T have one.

Come on Steady your normally a bit more sharp than this.

I never said anything, you did and I wasn’t the only one to note your near perfect description of an ‘exciting prospect’. The penny clearly will never drop. You are clearly thick.
