Really pleased with this. A quality third half back to add competition for places. /> There is a really good 8 min or so long interview with him that the Bulls posted this evening. He was very honest and says he hasn’t been enjoying his rugby being pushed from pillar to post and it sounds like he really needs some stability and to be at a club where he can start to love playing rugby again. Sounds like the poor lad is at the end of his tether and had been enjoying coaching at Stanningly more than playing. /> It’ll be interesting to see him in action in a winning team rather than a Bulls team on minus 8 or a Leeds team decimated by injuries.

Quote ="Pumpetypump"Wow listening to that interview the poor bloke really is down in the dumps. I really feel for him as a young lad who has started to doubt himself. Even to the point where he appears to volunteer that he shouldn't play against York nor for a couple of weeks after. His confidence is utterly shot. Good interview and very candid but I didnt enjoy it.'" /> Came across as a very likeable young man, to be honest. /> He was a good signing last year in the championship, so I've no doubts he's up to the task for the remainder of this year and the next (wherever we are..) - a few days with the lads and the normal sort of banter which goes on with blokes in the normal team environment, not to mention the winning menatlity which must be there, will soog bring him round.

Quote ="bringbackjimmy"You're being very generous at 50/50. After watching the video and listening to the guy, he'd only be allowed into the team if either of our starting halves were in doubt, IMO. I watched him last year and, to be honest, wasn't too impressed. Hope he fits in this time, and that the current playmakers welcome him as a positive addition to the squad.'" /> Think last year he was in a side battling to get points and pack were regularly getting beaten. We have now got a pack that can get on top in games and give him space to show what he can do. In agreement though I think this weekend is just too early for him

Well he's been named in the 19 for the York game, though Chisholm and Keyes are there too. Pickersgill has dropped out, mind you.

Think it is just a case of experience at the back, I think McNally offers that threat in attack too. This is getting built up to be a cracker

Agree with that. I doubt Pickers himself would have expected quite the number of games he's had this year. He's coming along very well, imo.
