Eamon O'Carroll

No not realy we need a good forward he could learn off the older ones

i dont think height is an issue to be fair i think hes better to be more powerful and stocky, its easier for him to leg drive with shorter legs and plus if height was the major factor Crabtree and mcDonald would be the best props in the league.

He's shown up well when he's played for us last season, despite (to me, at least) looking a little too short.

I don't think it's bulking up he needs, he's already chunky enough for his age, it's height. Not something you can work on in the gym, admittedly!

You don't have to be tall to be a prop. To me Eamonn looks like the best young prop we have in the physical sense, but still not ready for a full SL season. I'd like to see him appear abit more than he did last season though.

He reminds me of Danny Nuttley in his build,don't think too many would complain if he can play like him too.

I think he should be played a few more times next seaosn than he did this season. Hes got a good career ahead of him.

[jayde_hates_longy]

Nah i dont think so.

Danny Nutley, Paul Wood both show you that height is not important. In fact lack of height can be used to a players advantage. Height has nothing to do with courage or attitude. He needs to get some SL game time (spells not whole matches) in order to improve and test himself as to how he is improving. Good luck to him. seems to have a great attitude.

I disagree with sai this guy is 5ft11 and going on 17 stone i wold say hes pretty hefty myself :exc:

I sat with Eamon last year and i can tell you now that he is not 5ft 11 or 17 stone! He is closer to 5ft9 and to be honest i would put him around the 15 stone mark at present!

I'd prefer to see O'Carroll getting more games next year than Paul Prescott, think he is better than him. O'Carroll was always in 18man squad towards end of season but seemed to just miss out and ended up being waterboy. Noble obviously rates him so hoping to see alot more from the lad this season. He can only get better with props like Feka and Fielden around him, he wil learn alot from them.

if we put him in too early he won't be as good this is what i believe happened with hargreaves and presscott and maybe even brown, they played well in academy but it takes much more to cut it in super league
