Just seen the try Turgut set up. He got nailed by two Aussie defenders and just bounced out of it like it was nothing. Very strong kid!

Brilliant piece of play. In both a skills n physicality sense. Excited from 1st time I saw him. Looks a future star imo not just a standard super league player.

Where did you see the highlights?.

There was a video on the England RL Facebook page. It wasn't full match highlights though, just that one try as it was apparently the best of the match. They will have full highlights up on there eventually though I suspect.

Great win for the lads .

Great stuff.

Delighted for all those involved. As I said Turgut had a poor first test, but I've seen and heard enough of him to know that he is a very good promising player. I couldn't get to the game on Friday but was out last night with some friends who had been. They said he was outstanding and was their m.o.m.

Jesus, give it a rest, Gentle was as much an influence in bringing in youngsters, it hasn't been a change in policy, more an extension that comes after continued investments that are now beginning to flourish. And IF Radford had the foresight/policy change why did he sign Pryce? Why not stick with Abdul and/or Rankinb to work alongside Sneyd?
I just hope that Radford doesn't turn Abdul into a 13 when he could be a massive stand out half that dominates the middle of the park with his size AND skill.
It's great that we have these lads at the top of the youth pile, it's what we do with them from now onwards that is important and not turn them into also-ran SL fodder as has happened in previous years.

You can have great individuals that get to X std on the back of natural talent & physical attributes but the lack of specialist coaching especially in the halves is what has let us down.

indeed.

....please.

Abdul has got 13 wrote all over him

That's how I see it.

Good to see abdul playing such an integral part in things

agree to some extent that abdul would make a great 13. crucially though that would be an old style loose forward and not a modern 3rd prop biff bash merchant type. that could ruin him
