Take a bow. Lovegrove : The fans MOTM and his best game in a Rovers shirt for months. Watts : Another towering performance from a very good prospect. Taylor : Steady. No mistakes. With Welham, Murrell, Fox, Dobson, Wheeldon and Hodgson all having youth on their side it will be interesting to see how all these players progress, having their best years ahead of them. |

Lovegrove isnt exactly a young one anymore is he. He was very good today though. Taylor just needs a bit more weight on him IMO but Watts is the one to keep an eye on for me, great hands today from the big lad. |

Fabulous display from his first drive by Lovegrove on Sunday, Barry Lilley will have messed his kegs in rapture at that one. Watts is looking every bit a Super League player, superb game from him today, I just think at twenty years old we maybe need to rest him a bit more. Taylor certainly did nothing wrong, didn't look out of place and deserves to keep his place, offered more than Cook has so far. |

At 20yrs old he's being played at the right rate. He like Graham, Burgess(s), Tomkins and others are the future prospects. They are also all on the radar of those teams down under that want a cheap young player that they can mould into a great player. As for Rhys, he admits his form has been below his own high standards and nobody beats him up more about it than himself! He is I am sure just glad to be able to do what he is good at and he doesnt have such a bad offload. At one stage I thought he was playing stand off the way he was dictating to Dobson what play was on next...etc. If Justin really wants Rhys to go to the next level I think this kind of freedom and responsibility is what will take him there and really cement his future at Rovers for the foreseeable future. |

My worry for player like Watts is burn out, we've managed him really well for the last three years but this is a seriously physical game and what I don't want is for him to end up like a Fielden who after about four years in the wilderness is just about getting back to a forty per cent of his form or Sonny Bill Williams whose had (is it?) three shoulder reconstructions and has to hide in Onion. Not that Watts has the talent of either of those two, but it's a very short career, which he won't hit the heights of for about another six or seven years. I'd like to see Liam Watts fulfil his potential and play for Rovers over that period of time. As an aside, I've done rehabilitation work with a couple of former GB Internationals from the fifty's (it was a while ago now) and in their late sixty's they looked and had the bodies of people twenty years older than them, this is not a good thing. |
