I'd agree with the general concensus the Liam Farrell will be one to watch. From the rest of the list I'd say Luke Ambler from Leeds. I'm surprised we didn't show much interest when he left Salford.

Had the pleasure of working with Luke at Salford, and it was a pleasure.

The first training session i did not know who were the "star" juniors and who were there to make up the numbers, as soon as i had finished that first session without seeing him play I said Luke will be a top player, his attitude is superb.

Said this for a few years to many more experienced coaches who laughed it off, the minute he signed for Leeds people started to take notice.

Not sure he will ever be a full GB international but he is going to have a very good career. The potential in Leeds future frontrow is massive, Ambler, Amor, Pitts, Burgess pretty impressive.

Jack Spencer is also a very good player maybe a year early for him to make his mark but a very tough lad with great hands.

Joe Mellor for me. Class will tell in the end - Snatched from Warrington's grasp, this lad is a quiet, unassuming, rugby genius. Don't think fame would go to his his head; like good wine he will improve with age. Playing with Tomkins Wigan will have the best half back pairing in the Super League if he gets his chance






Rugby league must be a great game to survive the people who run it.

Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

My judgement isn't just based on that article. I've seen and been told many positive things about Josh. A very talented & hard working young lad. While ability is always a deciding factor in which young players to look out for, I always believe you should look for ambition, desire and passion from a young lad. The 2009 Wigan reserve team had so much of it as well as talent.

I agree to the above, but Mellor has had a bad injury so this year might not be his year.

I went for Charnley, was impressed with what I saw last season.

I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

Yes, it was unfortunate to say the least that he got injured and what you say is true. Have you any idea how he is going on?

No I don't. I can only go off reports and MaGuire said something like they can't put a time frame on it.
