He’s an out and out winger for me now, he’d make a decent fist of it but not sure he has the passing game for it.

SB's 'next man up' policy being stuck to. CTW starting at full back tomorrow night.

Pleased with that. He’s the most like Dufty in how he plays. Not had this squad depth for a long time.

Losing Dufty is a massive blow and I can imagine other sides saying 'thank **** for that' (in a 'relief' sense) but this team is more than one man and has more than one way to win. It does make our run in more difficult, but still better than most.

Yes it is great when the next man up is so good. Big chance for him.

CTW is the Reece Walsh of Super League. Just hope that the fans don't jump all over him for making some inevitable mistakes on the way to becoming Dufty's replacement. Can't wait to see what he can do when he sees a gap.

Sounds like the right decision: better to replace 1-for-1 than move 2/3 players about.

We will need to be patient because any young player will make mistakes and it's one of the most exposed positions on the field.

Yes, great opportunity for him, and probably means we wont have to significantly shift our attacking structure as they seem on the face of it similar players. Also may mean we look to develop additional ways to score points in other areas of the field with Dufty not available, so hopefully we will see some future gains from this.

I think as long as Williams is fit and firing top 2 is still well on, will be defined by the games vs Leigh & Saints.

[list=][/list]Taylor-wray is the best youngster I've seen coming through since the days of Harris and Sculthorpe. There? How's that for putting pressure on the kid?

Stick CTW in a Dufty mask ,should confuse the Cas players.

As for Ashton , he doesn't half get through some work during matches.
