There is no doubt Chris Feather is a natural athlete and a talented footballer. Yet in all honesty he has been a waste of space for most of his career. However I have no doubt he may be playing well as we have seen a similar near miraculouse transformation in Bibey who for the past three games has been nothing short of fantastic.

Maybe it proves the old adage that props don't hit their peak untill they are in their late 20's early 30's.

If that true how F-cking good is Craig Huby going to be he only 22.
He started the season very strong and is out side chance playing for England at the end of the season.

Not very I'm afraid, in my opinion he never looks fit, not very big, not overly skillful but a trier - average at best the sort only home fans rate. Nothing wrong with that but don't get carried away. Boyle looks a far better long term bet.

I know you won't agree - but as far as I'm aware he has never gained rep honours and that tells a story. Bibey and Feather both have, the fact that they wasted it also tell a story. None of these players IMHO will ever be International class (which is what I'd call fecking good) in the future. If you think Huby will prepare to be disappointed.

he's no james graham but i think the lad will do well.given another few years on his back i think he can be a stand out forward in super league as far as british players go.

Agreed, at SL level injuries etc permitting he will hold his own and be a useful squad member.

However to be in that top group of "f-ing good" you need a bit more.

James Graham plays for Saints which helps - but he is also

1: A very big man, about 3" taller and a stone heavier.

2: More athletic, faster and more agile. Also has an engine that allows him to play for 80 mins.

3: Proper hard as nails.

4: Clever footballer with that winners mentality.

None of the above can be matched by Huby and IMHO never will, same applies to Bibey and Feather for that matter.

Agree with everything else but Pubes would floor him
