Making his debut against London on his 18th birthday according to Brown. This kid will make a great forward IMO, aggresive, hard hitting and runs it in like Walmsley.

Dont be put off by his age he is a very big lad.

Good to hear! Just hope he doesn't turn out as an average second rower like Dixon, Ashurst, Magennis, etc...

Spoke to Dave Rotherham, he said this lad is very good and is ready.

The radio commentators seemed impressed. Can anyone who went elaborate?

Brown quoted as saying his debut was "sensational".

He is used to seeing Laffranchi and LMS, so he will know quite what a sensational performance isn't. Did seem from the radio commentary that he did very well.
