He's dedicated. He is keen to learn. He likes a challenge. What you'll have is a player who wants to be the best version of himself. Thoroughly professional. A real clubman.

Yes that’s my assessment too. He sensible, determined and low maintenance. He works hard and wants to learn. Didn’t make a fuss when dropped to 18 for the MPG which must have been a disappointment. Has clearly developed this year although I think his kicking could improve. I think it’s a big ask to get in first team but won’t be for the want to trying or application.

Think he has a fair way to go before he could make the first team at wire

Re: New Players : Wed Oct 09, 2024 9:23 pm  

He's also young and won't be playing behind a beaten pack every week... I think he'll be a success. His goalkicking is awful, bless him, but that won't be an issue for Wire I don't think?

Not in the same class as the players you took off of us in 1984 mate.

Are we allowed to start thinking about a shopping list/ Mike's spreadsheet for next season's players?

Hoping for Macani, Boafo, Adebiyi, Williams, Walker here.

I suspect Oli will continue to improve but not sure about international potential. His brother Bill certainly does IMO. Will be interesting to see how he goes at HKR.
