He’s not far ahead of other young forwards in SL for me.

He’s a solid Championship player who came over as a bit of a shot to nothing.

I agree re he’d be worth keeping as back up if he weren’t quota.

I think he could have a good career in the Championship or back home in the lower tiers of the semi pro game.

Just about sums it up for me

You may be right or I may be right but can you name me any other 19 year old this season in SL or championship who has played 10+ games and looked good in the team to give credence to your opinion above?

I’ll give you George Delaney but it’s a pretty short list.

Can you name this list of 19/20 year old forwards that have contributed to their first team with a good level of consistency?

There would perhaps be a handful at best.

Boothroyd is 22 in December still not old but he’s also not 19.

Off top of my head -

Junior Nsemba 20
Harvey Hill 21
Sam Eseh 20/21/22
Matty Nicholson 20/21
Jake Whitfield 22 might be older.
George Delaney 20
Noah Stevens 19

I’m sure there will be plenty more, and remember they are playing SL not Championship so it’s much harder to get game time in that environment.

There have also been some very impressive 18-20 year olds that have debuted in 2024 whilst not wracking up 10 games they will in the next couple of seasons like Lucas Green, Max Wood, Adam Holroyd and a good few more who are only 19/20 and playing SL.

Well he was 20 when we signed him in November 23 so 20/21 then.

Eseh has gone backwards watching him this season. Those you mention will be ready in next couple of seasons. I just think Boothroyd could be given the chance. But we differ on that and that’s fine.

I hopefully he gets a good club and continues to develop.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up York or somewhere like. He’d be a good pick up for about number of teams.

Boothroyd is well liked at the club. I'm sure they'll see he gets a good club.

Absolutely. Wouldn’t surprise me if we saw him back at some point.

I’m sure it’s been a good relationship between both player and club.

Seems a great signing & looking forward to seeing him play, not sure about 3 year open deal whereby any of the 3 years he can invoke his own wish to leave clause at any time. This being an item his NRL club required on agreeing to let him go ? I just hope if he invokes it would be at an end of season as it would be fair to each party then !

If you read the article you’d know it is at the end of any of the season.

He can’t just leave the club at any time ‘contractually speaking’.

Let’s hope he enjoys it and wants to stay long term.
