I’ve never known so many names linked with us, don’t know his quota situation, and if it’s true about Jez, perhaps the tongue in cheek post of Parcell may be worth exploring.

Well here’s the thing I would ask them to practice at home passing to their right hand side It’s quite unnatural to your right , but most kids just didn’t practice enough
Hull FC and Rovers turned him down because he was too Small In fact Hull FC turned down Hadley from the same team but I Convinced Mel Harman and Steve Crooks to take Deano instead of a player who ended up at Rovers then Cherokee I imagine
I like Jamie at hooker and surely as a man he can learn to pass right and left within 6 weeks It’s the tackling which is another matter
Anyways there you go Kids don’t practice enough and I’ve always been in favour of a scholarship programme that has them doing as many hours as their age in practice and playing

I’ll settle for Shauli at full back, with or without the pass, he was a breath of fresh air since his debut, has offered much needed pace to our back line, hookers are a different breed, leave him we’re he is.

Shaul was great for our 2nd try against Cas. Joined the line late, all eyes on Connor but Jamie gets the ball and delivers to Naulago.
He has really improves that part of his game. Two years ago he wouldn't have passesd.

As soon as that try was scored at Cas, I thought exactly the same thing.

M’au would be good if we could get him. Is he a bit younger as well? Bringing the age of the pack down seems to be a conscious decision.
Litten leaving is just one of those things if it happens. Fine if we keep him, fine if we don’t. Some young players just seem to have “it” as soon as you see them. Briscoe was one of those. Brown may be in the same bracket as well. Litten doesn’t in my opinion. Same as Hadley. Hardworking and honest, but we need to kick on.
We used to pick up players like Paea, Hadley and Westerman when other teams let them go. We don’t seem to be letting sentiment get in the way of decisions now, which is good.

If it’s true about Jez, it’s a shame we couldn’t have loaned him out to another super league side ala Hadley/Abdul etc, as you have alluded to, no room for sentiment in a salary capped sport.
