Not seen him play mate.How old is he and he in our u18s?I better look on the official site. :lol: If that good i am surprised not given a bench spot with our injuries.


Think he is 18, not sure what team 18s or 20s he will play this year...

Quite a big lad, not sure if he would be ready for first team prop yet ??
But great hands and footwork on him...

world champs when it wasn't a pre season friendly

Re: Departed Youth : Tue Apr 13, 2010 5:03 pm  
most of the players mentioned got chances to show themselves as up to standard and then played badly in the first team.

phil wood being an obvious exception as he had a well paid job outside or rugby so wanted to be part time i believe

I cant remember Dayne Donoghue, Paul O'Connor or Adam Bowman playing particulalry badly for the first team when they played, and I cant remember Leather, and a few of the others ever getting a chance.

They may not have been good enough, but my question is, did we persevere with them enough. We seem all too willing to give former Wigan academy players opportunities in the first team.

This isn't a dig at anybody in particular, its just an opinion stating that for some reason we think the players that leave Wigan are the best thing since sliced bread.

Where is Dale Bloomfield now? Didn't he spend some time hopping between ours and Saints academy yet never quite made the breakthrough?

Donaghue made a break once at Fev and looked scared to death with the ball and ended up throwing it along the floor about 10 yards forward. He never lived it his schoolboy hype despite plenty of chances.
Bowman had one decent game at 'haven and that was it.
O'Connor was keen enough but too small. All 3 are now playing at the correct level for their abilities imo.
