I don't think he made a first team appearence though, so he obviously wasn't as good as what was around him (at the time).
I think he made an appearance when Daniel Anderson was here.
If he has turned out alright, then it goes to show the merits of the dual reg system
He wasn't on dual registration. He was let go by Saints and took a part-time role at Hunslet, working part-time also. Leeds picked him from Hunslet but have said he is on dual registration next season. That might be along the same lines as Alex Walmsley's dual registration arrangement we have with Batley (I think he's only played a couple of times for Batley this season hasn't he?).
The problem is, you can't keep them all.
No but instead of say him we've enjoyed the benefits of Perry, for example. Sometimes I think Saints are a little too distracted by NRL players to see the potential they have under their own noses, and that sometimes that potential needs time. We have needed forwards, after all.
