If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |

I agree you are always going to get late developers and players who simply lose interest but my point about highlighting the top players stands IMO. |

I know, and my point about Rovers signing the best player at that age group also stands, |

Good signing.
Young, British and coming from the best club for youth development in the country.
The fact Leeds wanted him to go out on loan for a year rather then sign for another club speaks volumes.
Gives us 3 options at centre for next season along with Webster and Kris Welham.

Yes same team as Reece Lynne, both very good players and great prospect however like mentioned they can be awesome at 16 but not make the cut in big boy rugby.. |

Don't worry. Liam Welham is leaving for Fev, not Kris! |

I remember you pointing one of them out at Haworth Park when they came out for a warm up. 
Good luck to them all. |

Was that the centre who cant pass? To be fair to him though, at that level he didnt have to...
Seriously though, if they keep their heads screwed on and are properly coached and guided by the 2 clubs then all 3 have a great chance to make it, along with one or two others from that side.

I've got no issue with Tom Briscoe at all, I think he is a huge talent and if not for his injury, would probably been your best player easily. Jordan Turner? Do me a favour. Salford were a SL side in name only. Leeds reserves are a better team than Salfords 1st XIII |

What has he gained by going to Rovers??
Paying players above their capabilities will bite you in the arris as it has us over the last few years.'"
All you have done is come on here and be negative. You have made no constructive comments at all. Regarding Briscoe, he has established himself as an international and the best English full back since joining Rovers. Also the guy who was supposedly his superior has turned out to be a crock and been released. |

If you just fight terrorism, it's based in fear. If you promote peace, it's based in hope:26336.gif |

Not excluding his Tri Nations and Challenge Cup winners medal. |

Which he got playing Hooker and Wing.
So how does that make him a better Full Back then Briscoe. |

 Have you watched him play, a very good prospect.
Salford a name only, they beat Leeds |
