James Bentley : Sun May 28, 2017 10:00 am  

Best academy product since Bateman. The man was a colossal in defence. Tackled everything that moved. Devastating that he's likely to move on for nothing but wow, what a player he is and is going to be! Was outstanding yeaterday.

He is fantastic. Reads the game very well.

Played Hooker as well or academy says Beattie. Deffo looks more of a backrower to me, hope he puts some height on too.

I'm just as impressed with Oakes and Ryan tbh.
He did great yesterday, I just wish he had given that pass to Macani in the second half.

How far off fitness is young Oakes?

Defo like to see Oakes/Ryan/Bentley partnership again.

Probably some time away though given Ryan is playing Centre on the right side.

If Oakes is back for Dewsbury I'd be tempted to keep Bentley in the centres and go with a back line of

Thomas
Campbell
Bentley
Oakes
Ryan
Keyes
Lilley

I don't rate Thomas, as well as we played yesterday he gave up a lot of possession and position which would have been in our favour otherwise. I don't think he has the confidence or bravery to deal with high or loose ball. Rather JC or Smith at FB for me, Caro/Ryan/Macani on wing.
