he had been a winger at Fev but immediately when he was signed Jon Sharp started developing him as a second row. he plays best coming off the bench but will put a bit of weight on and i can see him being as good as Jon Wilkin, strong, quick and determined plus is a good ball handler.
he could turn into a very special player

I am - from the world cup squad I don't think there's much chance at all of Wellens/Gardner/Senior/Newton/Sykes/Westwood/Langley etc getting a game.
At the moment I'd go:
Lee Smith (if he doesn't head off to RU, Briscoe otherwise)
Ainscough
Gleeson
Shenton
Hall
Pryce
Myler
Graham
Moore
Peacock
Burgess
Hock
O'Loughlin

I do and he's been our stand out player probably.
He's kept up with Keef for 11 tries and looked pretty pacy going the length of the field on Sunday.
If there's been a more complete young British winger this year I've not seen him. 5th leading metre maker in the game, 2nd most clean breaks and a massive appetite for work out of dummy half.

I've been impressed with Hall - he has that 'natural athlete' look about him that so many of the aussie backs have. Seems to of sorted out most of his silly mistakes as well. Watkins looks the same as well - how do leeds fans rate his performances this year?
1. S.Briscoe
2. T.Briscoe
3. Shenton
4. Watkins
5. Hall
6. S.Tomkins
7. R.Myler
8. LMS
9. Moore
10. Graham
11. Hock
12. O'Loughlin
13. Westerman
14. Eastmond
15. Prescott
16. S. Burgess
17. Clubb
Looks good for three or four years down the line, with Owen, Ainscough, J.Tomkins, Clough, Gibson, L.Smith etc waiting in the wings.

none of these players are up to international standards
winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

Put Hock on the bench in the last position and bring Ellis into the send row and i'm with you although i'd be very suprised if Tony Smith was bold enough to pick a team like that.
It's along the lines of where we need to go though.
