Who said he was? He's a player of potential, its what we have bought. Not every player has to arrive SL ready, especially young ones. He may slot in very quickly especially with full time training, but with a 3 year deal it looks long term. It's a luxury we never used to have, happy days.
Just seen a report on Social Media that former Trinity player Richard McKell has passed away aged just 53. Very sad news indeed, spoke to Rich quite a few times in Boons in Horbury, really nice bloke

RIP
Sad news. RIP
Was really peed off when we allowed him, Ford and Davis to go to Cas as it virtually rescued them from relegation. Double whammy too as it also weakened us for the playoffs where Shudds triumphed and got that unexpected 2nd super league place.
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

A player I would have liked us to sign and develop.
He refused to sign the contract offered! End of story, move on. He’s hardly set the world on fire has he. He’s no better than Shaw at this point, in fact he’s lost ground.
If HKR have the key then fine best of luck to the lad. For me I’m only interested in the youngsters we have, especially Pratt, Smith and Lingard who I think have far bigger futures than Ruan.

I didn’t mention anything about the past and about him not signing a contract years ago. I was simply talking about the present and that he could be worth looking at. It’s obvious his career has stalled somewhat and as a project player I think he could be worth a look. I’m not sure what you mean about moving on. It’s you who’s mentioned the past yet have told me to move on. Don’t quite understand that.
Where did I say I’m not interested or more invested in the young players we have here at Trinity like those listed? I’m not sure how me saying I’d like to see Ruan given a punt has any bearing on how I think of other young trinity players who imo have bright futures.
