Please can you guys tell us Raiders fans what sort of player are we getting in the young half back.

Thanks

Not seen much of him but my understanding is that he's a hooker.

His a stand off and a very talented one. Saints had him playing hooker last year for the reserves so they could see if he had a future ar back up to Roby. Barrow are offering very good contracts out to young SL players.

He was a hooker for England academy and Saints, but never really looked to have the "zip" to make it at top level.

He was a stand off from u11 to u17 mate, Saints switched him to hooker about 18 month ago. His also played for England u16's and was stand off

I concur.

Would've been a better bet for a few more first team games at hooker infront of *shudder* Nathan Ashe, imo. I think he was deemed a little lightweight.

Has he gone permanently, or on loan?

Our understanding at the Raiders is that its a permanent signing mate
