I thought Widnes played well and their young hooker looked really good. Maybe we should keep an eye on him if they do go down
I watched his debut last season as a 17 year old and you could see the massive potential he has.
We think Litten has potential but this lad at 18 is miles ahead of Litten.
Regretfully he is on a long term contract and cant see Widnes been relegated
We certainly need someone putting pressure on Danny Houghton as his game for me has dropped,whether thats as a direct result of Losing Watts from the pack i dont know but his kicking is poor and he is not running enough from acting half.
If there was evidence that we need to strengthen our pack both in the second row and front row it was last night.
Fash works his socks off but is not big enough.Never dents the line so i dont know where he realistically would fit into a quality forward pack.
I would still release Washbrook and Manu seems to have become a regular injury liability.Like him a lot and good player on his day but the club surely have to look at game time and value for money.
maybe time to say goodbye
