This seasons already over, giving him a game against London makes sense. If we have the mentality to think we can't win if he plays then he can't be any good.

That may well be the case, but it still doesn't mean he's necessarily ready or that it would be good for him to be thrown in yet. We should just wait and see when he's ready to be given a go, not campaign for him to be just because we're getting desperate and he's doing well against kids his own age.

This thread only exists because we're struggling in his position. It's not so much about him, as it is about us scrabbling around for an answer, any answer, ASAP. You only have to look at his brother. He's also well-rated, and he's actually older, but because we have an abundance of props with several doing well over the year so far, nobody's touting him for a game. The simple reason, because he might not be ready and we don't need to risk it. But we want to make the younger brother ready because we have a more pressing need in his position.

He has to make his debut some time and would probably be better away from the KC so he doesn't feel the mountain of expectation that there is on him. Last thing we need to do is to throw him into a side which is low on confidence and underperforming though

the officals (and clubs) can't even spot when there are 14 players on a pitch, what makes you think they could manage this idea?

(I agree, it would be a good idea, but the RFL would just mess it up)

I think 20- 30 mins at London would work .

Can't argue with you Standee. I have no faith in the RFL either .
