Not trying to stir anything, but there are rumours (and some Cas fans even confirming) that Joe will be a Hull FC player next season.

To be honest, i have not really taken notice of him before. What are his qualities? I dont recall him having great pace, i always thought he would be one of those centres that would actually end up in the back row.

Not sure. I would say he is an average centre but young so still has plenty of time to become class. We are a great feeder club!!

Thats the way i see it really - nothing has jumped out at me to suggest he will be a quality centre, unlike Watkins etc. Will wait and see, would rather persist with Jordan Turner for a year and wait for Ben Crooks to be ready

Watch him when he play schools rugby for airedale high.
Played at loose forward, he was great down the middle.
Thought he'd be a forward.

Not likely. I'd have thought Turner would be more likely to head to the pack.

Yeah he is playing centre in the 20's and came on there in a couple of friendlies.

Looks very classy, but not big enough for Loose Forward

If he can get anywhere close to his Dad in terms of achievements (or potential for achievements) then he will have done well
