Read it again for heavens sake, it's reality and that's why young players are gradually brought on. Expect Anakin to occasionally drop out of the 17 every now and then, that's what good coaches do. However if he is the player we ALL hope he is he will come back stronger every time.

There are exceptions to the rule but generally young players take two steps forward then one step back, it's the nature of sport and nothing to do with doom or gloom.

Great news ! Would like to see him at loose forward though. Washbrook simply hasn't cut it this year.

Washy is still a tackling machine, although he doesn't seem to be giving too much in with ball in hand.

RA mentioned this and is working with Washy to get it back, user all know he's a decent ball handler when in form.

Apart from the pass in the play offs at Headingly?

To a ceratin extent we did this with Ferres.
He had skills, and shows that he still has them now but we also wanted him to be a tackling machine. Hard to do both and he got criticism about it and went.
