A player with absolutely enormous potential and one who could go right to the very, very top..

In most of the games I've seen him play I'd say he was more of a natural stand-off than scrum-half. He has a great kicking game, great hands and can spot a gap and be through it in a split second. Like all the great half-backs he seems to have more time on the ball than anyone else and is always looking to make things happen.

The academy side were outstanding last year and were rightfully crowned champions after a superb season, Southernwood was a massive part of that and was that extra bit of class when he needed to be. It's okay being a standout in an average middle of the table team, but when you're a stand out in a champion side that marks you out as one who has a great future!

The only negative thing I'd say about Cain at the moment is his size, he's not the greatest in stature and at this stage of his development could be on the fragile side and is one who needs to be brought on steadily and looked after IMO.

No player is bigger than any club, but I hope we can keep hold of this lad and see him flourish under Kear...

Have you actually seen Cain play? He is a talented player and one I have great hopes for however to say he has international potential is really pushing it. For a start he is currently to frail physically to play first team IMO as demonstrated against Hunslet when Marchy ran all over/through/past him as if he didn't exist. Although he has plenty of skill and is quite pacey he not as yet in the same league as say Tomkins was at that age IMO.

I'm not knocking the kid, I rate him and I hope he makes it but in the same way Cas fans over hyped Westerman I'm certainly not going to do it in this case - hell of a way to go before he deserves those acolades.

this might surprise a few but on cain i trust jk completly

Made our local rag that a deal is close.

I shudder at the thought of some of the gash that only makes the fringes of the Bulls team.

does Cain have a contract at Trin? If so, Bradford have permission to approach him?

bradford didnt

Is he a 6 or 7?

He must be about 19 i would have thought.

They are above Leeds ya know.

Cain reminds me a bit of Liam Campbell. I saw him a number of times. Not very big , no real size about him and at 17/18 years old was playmaker in our Academy team. Seemed to have all the attributes to kick on and 'make it', but for whatever reason it didn't happen and he's now back up in Cumbria doing the rounds of the clubs up there.

Cain seems to have all the ability in the world for his age. Hopefully he can kick on and make it with the big boys wearing a Trinity shirt.

Word on our board seems to be that Halley might be the player to come to Wakey. However that could be some just putting 2+2 and getting 5 after Halley was left out the squad last night.

I must admit, I know little about Cain but it would appear a bit of a gamble on Bradford's part if that was the deal. But we don't even have a specialist 1st choice stand off nevermind cover so it is an area we do need to recruit in.
