Riley going to fev is MASSIVE for his development, he'll play week in week out against high quality opposition. So the experience he will gain will be huge compared to playing in the reserves a handful of times a year.

Totally agree. It's tough rugby too & you have to be sharp as a young half-back just to keep out of harms way.
He is on contract with Wire until the end of 2024.

Plus he's still training with us full time and we have a recall option, great for club and player I think.

Yeah 100%, Powell has made the right choice with Riley. As he won't displace Williams or Drinkwater. And i forgot about the recall option so this is a win win for us and him

I don’t think Dean will get a game at Wire this season. The 2 week recall is a bit of spit and polish on the boot.

He clearly isn’t going to get a game because he looked way off the nerve to grasp a game after that initial promising first game.

Haze even with his smaller frame shown huge bollox against Salford. Salford did target him in defence, but you can only blame the unit either side of him for not assisting him.

Dean is behind Haze at this time.

Seems I was right all along.

I just hope his huge knackers don't stop him from working magic against Saints .

They could serve to distract Tommy Makinson though? Just when he needs his hands to catch those high bombs.
