Not sure he's ready yet - become a big position has FB where experience counts so he'll be well behind Hampshire, Jowitt and even Reynolds. I reckon another year on DR is on the cards. Don't know if he can cover other postions.

Got to be very careful with young players coming in to the first team timing is crucial, needs to be dipped in and out

"Livid" was the word I got told....apparently been on a crash diet since he got back !!

Very disappointing if true, he looked very good towards the back end of the season once he had got his fitness up and running but we cant afford to be carrying a passenger for half the season! He did tell me that he had chosen the number 24 himself though.

He was only home what a couple of months, so I imagine it's nothing that a solid preseason won't sort out tbf - the team will be working hard with all the lads especially the props so they're at the correct levels. When I saw him, his weight wasn't something that particularly stuck out to me.

Listen when you’ve been watching the game as long as I have you learn a thing or two, squad numbers mean absolutely f*ck all. Randall with 13 on his back won’t play loose, Brough given number 7 and won’t even feature in the 19 man; Jowitt to fullback with Rocky at 7 and Reynolds at 6.

Think you maybe right as I was told that he liked his shirt/squad number to add up to 6.....
Hence 15 last season and 24 for this season....

Interesting. You've been watching the game for as long as you have, seen that last year Wakefield's kicking game was arguably the weakest aspect of some of their play and then you think they've signed a 3 time Albert Goldthorpe medal winning half with the best kicking game in the comp, given him the no.7 shirt and you think he won't be in the 19 man squad. Very interesting.

Yes? Somet you’re struggling to understand young un’

Aye. Your logic.

You’ve things to learn yet. You do seem to have time on your side, I’ll give you that. You don’t seem wise to me, I’d probably say 15/16...

Struggling to understand why you think they've made Milky team captain when he isn't even going to make the team according to you.

Papa Genial...are you related to NGB4C ??

It's actually both!!



Which makes him even more stupid than anyone thought.
