In this case it wouldnt be a bad thing to do. He played 9 for some time.

He's the right size for a 9. Think he's far to small for the back row unfortunately.

With Berro out for the start of the season he may get his chance to back up Danny Houghton.

For a 16yo Reece Lynne looked very mature and has a bit of size and pace about him.
He looks a very exciting prospect for Hull.

Has this been confirmed?

Well, they said that he's out for 6 months. Now with my maths skills (which according to my GCSE results this morning are at A*), that makes it mid-late February when he's back.

The operation will be 5 months minimum out so that will take him upto end of jan and then Berro has to get his fitness levels up, so Hodgson may get the Rovers testimonial game and a couple of super league games too.

James Smailes says in tonights paper that he will be!

Is he???

He be back for pre season Wilf

Does anyone else think that this floodlight 9s coulod be a better tournement if they played it at a different ground every year, i would like to think that if it came to the kc or craven park the attendence would be alot bigger then last night.

And i also think that sky should maybe televise it or at least do a comprahensive highlights programme.

+ advertising/promotion (didn't even know it was happening until Tuesday ).

I'd like to see the 9's somewhere in the rugby calender where all clubs can take it seriously Perhaps involving all super league clubs barring the two grand final contenders as a grand final build up. Once the majority of the cubs now their season is at an end then maybe all clubs would enter teams without fear of injuries or fatigue prior to league/cup matches.
