You are alan hansen i.e. a great band wagon jumper !!!

Higgins was the best prop on the pitch toady Kear 1 v NGBC 0 but then we all knew that

I'd possibly argue that Johnson was just as good but yes Higgins is looking like an astute signing.

I disagree - I thought Johnson, once again, was outstanding. Amor also had a cracking game. Ben Gledhill, unfortunately, not so much.

In the absence of Korki and King, I thought the young forwards stepped up to the plate today and despite Quins looking massive, weren't dominated up the middle.

Johnson plays a more versatile game and could play anywhere in the pack IMO. I picked Higgins because he played it right up the middle like the real prop he is

Can't fault Higgins today. Put in a good prop's shift.

Good stint today from Higgins.

Higgins does what props do and carts it up, he did a fine job today.

Like you say they all stepped up and played some good stuff, Lee played really well and BJ had is best game in ages.

I certainly wouldn't disagree with that - he's an old school prop and does exactly what's asked of him. Good shift today, particularly for a big lad in the heat.

noooooooooooo hes shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite newgroundb4cas says so

before he evened pulled a shirt on for us

i still claim my 10 pounds because alan hansen will no more about rugby than you or gary schofield ever will

Higgins, King, Korki, Johnson, Amor, Gledhill......is prop becoming the new full back?!

Higgins looks like he has spent to much time in the chippy

Don' know if it's me but Johnson seems to be on the end of more than his fair share of big hits yet still keeps coming back to drive it in again

Tough as nails for a young prop. Unearthed some gems and I hope we keep faith in them.

like tamata looks like he spent too much time on a sunbed and not the barbers

Well he certainly battered your forwards - boom boom

I think today answered Kears critics. Gledhill isn't quite ready it's that simple.

You can clearly see the lad is keen and has all the attributes apart from an extra stone in weight. However that's no substitute for experience and just that little bit of maturity.

However the biggest problem he has is that we are a young team and he is the youngest of the young. This means we are gambling on young players every week so you can hardly blame Kear for not wanting to push it even further.

Truth is Gledhill looks a good player in the making but so do Amor and Johnson and there a wee bit further on. Patience young Jedi say I - how nerdy was that!

I agree, Kear is playing it right with Gledhill. A game here and there when needed will help his development but he isn't physically ready for superleague week in, week out. He needs to 'bulk up' a little and fine tune the art of front row play. I really do feel that a dual-registration deal with a championship club would do wonders for the kid because the potential is there for all to see.

I thought Ben had a good game, the highlight being him holding them up over the line.

Padewan, surely? Even nerdier.

I agree with Theboyem - a dual registration for the rest of this season at a local Championship side would enable him to grow in confidence and develop his technique, without getting smashed to bits by the beasts of SL.

i agree it would be a good move, even dual reg with widnes (if possible?) would be good, after all there a super league club in the championship

Overall he did, but was he better than Amor or Johnson or Higgins - I think not. When Korki and King are available who would you drop out of those four?

The off load from Ben on our ten resulted in us loosing the ball. This put immense pressure on us and i think we conceeded three tries in quick succession. Trin of old would of lost the game in those circumstances, fortunately we held on through that period, but Ben needs to learn from that.
