I’ve been a fan of Cobie Wainhouse for over a year I still see him as a new signing at Prop and by mid season next year he could be a regular at 19 years old ?
He’s a big unit and a good rugby attitude
He said that the FC Academy ‘battered’ the dobbins academy last week lol

Wainhouse highly rated hopefully he can come in next season along with Armstrong in and around the squad. Both better than Laidlaw and probably Gardiner
Always the Optimist never the Pessimist. Glass Half full not half empty man me.

Get your S&C right (instead of getting rid of half of them) and have a big hard preseason like Rovers did, (and a little luck) and maybe FC wouldn't have had to throw in as many young kids that aren't physically ready for SL. Instead Agent Smith decided to go against the grain and ease into the season, Every cloud though, Moy looks a talent and Lewis Martin looks like he'll have a really good career, Charles looks far away from being SL ready though. All in all your juniors are getting game time out of necessity rather than choice, poor recruitment and penny pinching have forced that on the club,

Just about agree with every thing you say, you have to admit though Rovers have fortunate this year, people say its down to SC etc, but Melbourne and Penrith have injuries, arecwe saying Rovers conditioning team and physio are better than those sides?
Half back is arguably the toughest position for a youngster to come in and really make their mark. Especially looking at the forward packs Charles has been playing behind and just the general state of the overall team. Much like Farrimond at Wigan, they have both shown some fantastic glimpses but also have had games where they were pretty anonymous. It's to be completely expected. Both look like they have potential (key word!) to have fantastic careers.

Exactly…Farrimond does look good I admit as for Robertson,he is getting massively bigged up as he is at Sts but he is struggling and has at least 1 or more mistakes in him every game.
We badly need strengthening in the forwards, 2nd row and centres. Wigan com0letely physically dominated us right across the park today. With only Sao and Holmes missing from what will be our pack next year its worrying. Far too lightweight overall and completely 7nable to hold their own against a decent set of forwards
