What do you think the chances of us keeping him until the end of the season and signing him permanantly?

He's the best forward in the league i have seen so far quick, strong, big hitter. At times he flies through the line like a back and is probably up there with the top try scorers. Twice the player of Kopckak. A real standout.

I'd say the chances of keeping him until the end of the season are high, I'd say signing him permanently are low. He's our player and he's highly rated by our coaching staff. He'll sign a new deal with us before the end of the season.

I can't see you keeping him permanently. He will look a lot better in NL because he's on the verge of SL standard, he's not as good as Kopzcak yet.

Have you seen Kopzcak yet this season? He's really come on, not many young forwards can say they've scored away at Knowsley Road.

Koppy has improved dramatically over the past season and half. He's a really big fella now. I was really pleased to see him cross the whitewash, that try has been coming for a few weeks now.

I agree, in a few years he'll be immense, hope we can hang on to him. He's had five or six tries chalked off IIRC. He's a lot better than James atm, but James looks a good prospect too.

Koppy will be a good player in a few years, he's very much in the Brian Mac mould.

Koppy's best game so far was on Friday night - we've never seen that from James. But would be good if we did

James is out of contract at the end of the season so signing him permanently you'll have a good as chance as any team.
