| Another excellent performance form this kid at Prop and IMO deserves to keep his place in the team. I actually rate him better than Ostick as he punches his weight.

Yep definitely a Vikings prop in the making. Didn't take a backward step all night for me against a big dirty 'haven pack.

Hardly difficult. But back on topic, he has showed his worth in the two games he has taken part in. Seems to be able to make the step up, would like to see more of the lad, same with Mulally.

| Loook very good technically!
Think this kid wasn't mentioned pre season at all, but Cullen seems to rate him highly!
Lands on knees and elbows etc (is true and shows good pedigree imo!).

God send to Cullen then
seriously though he does look very good and i thought he was also impressive against Barrow last week
just get him signed up quickly then before super league clubs come chasing

[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

If he's been brought from an amateur club and put through our academy before entering our senior side, I'd say that would qualify him as one of ours. So I'd definitely include Paddy and Houghton as being discovered and brought through the professional ranks by us. Obviously, if Houghton came here via the Wigan Warriors academy side, that's different.

Don't they have to be at the club at least three years before their 21st birthday regardless of where they come from.

Exactly right - think they refer to it as club trained. What is stupid about the rules us that you could have a brilliant young talent like Myler, come thorugh, but if he signs for someone else before the age of 18 then he would count as their player (if he stays there for 3 years).

| Just a few bits from the RFL websiteCLUB TRAINED
B1
So if the rules don't change we're looking at needing a minimum of 8 'Club trained' or academy players in the 1st team squad.
Going back to Houghton, he looked in the game earlier in the season -Blackpool was it? surprised he hasn't been given more of a chance.

So what happens if he then moves on to another at 19, where he can then only spend a total of 2 years before he reaches 21?
Does this then mean that no-one brought him through?
What a complete load of b0llocks

Surely must say once you've fit that criteria at one club - Widnes, then you can't do it at another?
