I think perhaps both Dixon and also actually Omari Caro could have made superstar RL players had they come through the ranks of an established Super League side like a Leeds/Wigan rather then through the London system.

This is obviously wild speculation with no reasoning behind it rather then just what I think, but you can draw parallels between them both as being "raw" players and I think London didn't fully realise what they had with those two and failed to provide them with the kind of specialist training that would have developed them further or perhaps lacked the facilities or inclination to do so.

I don't think it's too late for Dixon but I don't think we are the right club for him at the moment. IMO he needs to spend a year or two in the national leagues, rack up the game time, be playing on the wing every single game every single week becoming more "streetwise" at a decent standard before then being brought back into the Super League. He's a talent and in offense he offers a massive threat. I think Dixon has all the stuff you cant teach, but he needs more time spent on the things that can be taught, such as defensive positioning.

Some have done ok mate. Keep an eye on Denny Solomona. Mike McMeeken, and Matt Cook tomorrow.

I was disappointed that Dixon didn't take the kicking responsibilities against Oldham, if he refused to do so (I'm not saying that he did refuse) then that should be his last game.
One complaint that I have of the club is that we take on players like Dixon and Cairo, who have potential, but we don't improve them. I wonder if we need more one to one coaching with some of the players.
