I think there have been enough of these type of players to discredit this argument.. Besides he seems to have several other key attributes such as a little bit of pace, a sharp turn on him, he put some good tackles in defensively and more importantly.. he looks like his dad!!!

Plus I'm not sure what you are arguing? You've got one of these against Coyle playing..
and then you're saying Coyle should play??

We should write off every single potential player who leaves his mother's womb and isn't instantaneously 10 feet tall and built like a challenger tank. Every player who has had anything about him ever has been Incredible Hulk like at five years of age. Grady for instance, remember when he broke through? Wasn't a skinny player, hasn't changed one iota since.

Let's get rid of our youth system, it's impossible for human evolution to work fast enough to make it worthwhile.

I agree physically he doesn't look ready, but in terms of talent, surely its a case of wait and see what happens. Hasn't really had enough games to make a proper judgement IMO. May turn out to be top class may end up being rubbish, but there's no rush and no need to write him off at this stage.

Having said that you'd think the next 18 months or so will be make or break for him - so I suppose from that point of view he has got quite a long way to go to in quite a short space of time

do you still stand by this? Were you there today?

Hulme did good and his back up for the try was great. The lad will become a good player for the future.

8 injured and the 2 dual contract players unavailable.

Not much positive in the short term about the injuries really. How can Ford be in a position to return when he hasn't run in 6 weeks? Surely thats just asking for his hamstring to go again. The best news by far is about Webbo and I guess the news about Dave Allen is better than what people 1st feared.

I suppose the most relieving thing at this stage is that we should have several players (Webbo, Coyle, Ford, Houghton, Farrell, Allen and Gaskell) all back in a matter of weeks rather than months. Just hope no more go down with injuries and if we can replace Haggerty and Pickersgill, then you never know we might be somewhere near full strength again - hard to see it at the moment but fingers crossed eh?
