He reminds me of Harry Pinner, capable of getting through gaps and has a passing game.

If his home made thick cut chips are as tasty as Pinner's we're onto a winner here.

Sorry to see him leave but totally understandable. You've got a good one there.

even with Saints dropping form a bit over the past few years I reckon we have missed out on a few players who would normally come. Bradford are will bounce back, it is just taking them longer than anyone expected......

Embarrassing that we can't produce our own players.
Maybe our youth system not as good as we all think.
Academy and scholars both had poor results this year.

I am not sure it is as simple as that, we can produce good teams but the best players in that team might not be the positions we need in our 1st team they have to be pretty special to get into the 1st team. Still this guy is running at a lower level than Saints so we need to see how he steps up.......

He'll step up. He's a quality player and will only get better with better quality players around him too. Very confident for a 19 year old lad and carried the Bulls for long periods this season. He'll be your version of John Bateman. So that should be an interesting battle next season!
