Any thought on Presley Cassell?

I guess it’s now or never for some of these players.

Thank you very much.

Not seen enough of him myself - Matts is the real expert.

Pressley Cassell is outstanding, he's got everything you could want in a modern 13:

Big
Skillful
Athletic
Intelligent
Tough
Leadership

I would put him right up there with Gannon at the same stage of their careers

Cheers Matt, I’ve not seen him in awhile but that’s what is was hoping you’d say.

It‘a true we do have a very strong crop of young players coming through currently. I know some complained about letting Tchambe go, but that tells you something about how confident the club are in other wingers in the system.

As soon as we fix the first team we have a trickle feed of quality coming through.

I’m still not sure whether Gannon will end up at prop or 13 rather than second row.

Marcus Qare Qare, Ned McCormack, Ben Littlewood training with the first team this pre season. There is a few more too but I’m unsure who they are, maybe Jack Iceton

Frosties , do you know what position Jack Iceton plays ? Cheers

I don't believe someone under the age of 50 is called Ned.

I don’t, however I know he crossed over from the Bulls academy mid season so we must of seen something there.

Also, Leo Aliyu has signed a professional deal and will have a squad number for the new season I believe

Leo is quite athletic isn’t he? bit like AJ Wallace was.

Really could do with a couple of lads developing and making first grade over the next couple of years.

Squad numbers will be good to see - wonder if Kershaw will be announced same time.
