Well worth keeping an eye out for. A very promising left centre that seems to be getting better and better. Very nice footwork and technically correct player, seems to be growing a little and filling out nicely/sensibly. Far more talent than his father :cool:

True. He has also got a good turn of pace which was evident against Leeds on Saturday.

He looked superb on Saturday. I think centre in the modern game is the hardest position to play well. If we have a "natural" centre we must keep him.

Awesome talent, a natural rugby player...is he also a bit younger than most of U19s?

Yes IIRC, 1 year younger.

David Thompson the same age is another talented centre too.

The U19s are looking good.
The forwards are not the biggest but they match it and have natural talent. Any room they make is exploited by some natural rugby players in the backs and very smart halves. Very encouraging :)

Hopefully and will have to go on loan / DR due to age. The fact that this young man is back playing is remarkable and testimony to his mental toughness.

Best age group for a few seasons. The one above them had no depth and Ben Currie was snared by the Wire.
