He's dedicated. He is keen to learn. He likes a challenge. What you'll have is a player who wants to be the best version of himself. Thoroughly professional. A real clubman.

Yes that’s my assessment too. He sensible, determined and low maintenance. He works hard and wants to learn. Didn’t make a fuss when dropped to 18 for the MPG which must have been a disappointment. Has clearly developed this year although I think his kicking could improve. I think it’s a big ask to get in first team but won’t be for the want to trying or application.

Think he has a fair way to go before he could make the first team at wire

Re: New Players : Wed Oct 09, 2024 9:23 pm  

He's also young and won't be playing behind a beaten pack every week... I think he'll be a success. His goalkicking is awful, bless him, but that won't be an issue for Wire I don't think?

Not in the same class as the players you took off of us in 1984 mate.

Are we allowed to start thinking about a shopping list/ Mike's spreadsheet for next season's players?

Hoping for Macani, Boafo, Adebiyi, Williams, Walker here.

I suspect Oli will continue to improve but not sure about international potential. His brother Bill certainly does IMO. Will be interesting to see how he goes at HKR.

Williams to Fev. They must have come back into money. Thought they were on their aris but now I think on I think that’s probably us.
