Is he as good as Dan Brotherton?

If you want an outside bet for a good winger/prospect watch out for Callum Lancaster.

You mean the guy who made his debut for hull 2 weeks ago and scored twice against London?

That's him.
I posted about him last year, he's quick and probably only 17. I think he played in the England U18's game v France a couple of weeks back.

Might be better suited to fullback in the modern game. Exactly the same height as Keiran Dixon and 5 years younger. Putting on extra targetted weight wouldnt be a problem. If he turns out to be half the player that Dixon is then he will have a future - he isnt too small but would need coaching on dealing with the specifics that being 5'7" in the modern game would bring.

Rogues spotted him first though, obviously.

Callum is a Saints fan

What's James Tilley doing at the moment?

It was interesting that he featured at hooker for the Widnes game.
He looked undersized but enthusiastic when he played backrow for the firsts in the past, if his service is good, hopefully he could make a fist of hooker.
Reports always said that he led the way in the u19s (is he captain?) in terms of the physical battle.

it would be nice to be able to spell Robe's a little this year.

What happened to the England U18's hooker who played for Saints academy? I think he originated from Widnes or Warrington. I remember speaking to his parents pre-match at Bradford a year or two ago when he was playing for England academy v France.

Dom Speakman? He was released last year and signed for one of the Cumbrian clubs.
