Thought he did well tonight , he looks like a strong runner I dont think he'll have any issues physically in the first team. Not an easy place to make your debut against the (former ) league leaders

Did great on his debut, thought we were f**ked when Wheeler and Puletua pulled out late.

Where does he play? He looked very, very confident, pushing and shoving the Wire players, having digs at Waterhouse. Very strong running and you never felt worried when he was involved like you do with some youngsters.

According to the knob Eddie on Sky, he's a centre in the U20's scoring a try a match!!!!

Wing, Centre, Stand off and second row apparently. Look like he could do a job for us this year when needed.

He's a centre and has played there for England U20's IIRC.

No sterner test than wire away, well done son!

Re: Josh Jones : Fri Mar 30, 2012 9:42 pm  

He's a big strong lad with good footwork. He's scored something like 4 tries in the last 5 games in the u20s.

He did ok although the dummy he took was a bit soft. Presumably the coaching staff identified a weakness on that side as he was taken off, never to return. I thought it was a daft idea to give a debut to a player against Warrington in a match that was important for us to win. Thankfully, Warrington were not on top of their game and so it didn't cost us too much.

Taking him off when they did was very smart and great coaching.
