The 3 lads from brook are all massive Wigan fans. Joe is dissapointing however just like the lad Barnes they play in division 2 of there age group, meaning the standard is quite poor. If you have a bit about you and some pace then it's try galore. Saints u16 fullback and England u16 fullback Kevin Brown is from St Pats (so it works both ways).
I've seen Barnes do it against prem league teams also. I think him and joe are two very talented kids from what ive seen. Wello was in shock how good Barnes was and that was in a semi final against leigh miners who is prem side.
It's not just pace with him, it's his all round game. He's top tackler every week, he scores try after try and it's not just running around teams like happens at this level or that he's bigger than the rest as he's not. It's pure natural skill. He's played fullback, centre, loose, secondrow and obvously stand off where he's devaststing.
I think joe relies on pace more than anytning and at this age thsts a killer. So I think he might struggle when he can't run around teams when it's higher level.
From the two, I think Barnes is the better and I think he's special.
