Give over. I think like the way you think about the majority of things but Wilkes is and always will be rubbish.

He's weighing at what? Two hundred kilos and he broke a line from your mates sloppy tackling a the weekend.

Wonder what Morgs thought of him tonight

Cracked under pressure but I wouldn't want to line up against Brough's kicking game so early in my SL career. He'll improve. Showed good hands to set up Newton.

tbh i felt sorry for him, he had no protection under the high balls, where was our players blocking runners? just been in the way of runners and giving him a little more time? Hes a tough LITTLE kid, and at least he wont have to face a kicker of that quality every week

20s didn't miss him...

I rate the kid and don't feel he should be judged on tonight. David Hodgson had a very poor game vs Latus but would be a shoe-in at most teams. The surface didn't help anyone tonight.

Ok welcome to superleague mr sheriff.
Hope he gets the nod for the rest of the season now its done and dusted and told go out and play. To drop him now would be a bomb for his confidence. Regardless wether we bring in a fullback next season lets give the lad his head.

After the game, saw Briscoe & Clinton, Joels shoulder is'nt responding to treatment so he's having an op on it next week, so i guess that's his season over.

Simple as not big enough we need to sign a full back for next season

I'm glad you didn't oversee the development of Burrows/Tomkins/Hohaiai.

He's right, he's physically not big enough yet. There is more to size than height.

size doesnt make you or stop you knocking on does it? 2 bad errors from the kid, but as i said earlier he was on his own out there, he should have had better protection under the high ball, the try Cudjoe scored when he beat Fox to the high ball, Welham just stood where he was and watched, he should have been in front of Cudjoes run, i think its called blocking a player, other teams do it.

Yes, sorry, I forgot how ripped Tomkin's is. A good off-season for the lad and he can build up to acceptable SL level IMO. ATEOTD, if rumours are true, no decent overseas players will touch you with a barge pole and there isn't an abundance of English FBs out there.. maybe Phelps will sign for you?

First time iv seen him play, and im not naive enough to base my opinions on the lad on one game BUT it was disappointing to see him struggle. Still, at 18 hes got time to develop and i hope he keeps improving because hes obviously got talent or he wouldnt be where he is now

He will have to be handled carefully for the next week or so & encouraged to play normaly.If he trys to go out & try to make up for last night he could end up being embarassed. He has to be given a few games to prove to himself & the rest that he is good enough. I think his attacking play & handling is OK the rest is confidence & game time.

Like you shouldnt build up youngsters to be world beaters after a good game or two you also should not write them off after a poor display.
He will learn from the experiance.
Hull have the same situation with Reece Lynn.
