I didn’t mention anything about the past and about him not signing a contract years ago. I was simply talking about the present and that he could be worth looking at. It’s obvious his career has stalled somewhat and as a project player I think he could be worth a look. I’m not sure what you mean about moving on. It’s you who’s mentioned the past yet have told me to move on. Don’t quite understand that.

Where did I say I’m not interested or more invested in the young players we have here at Trinity like those listed? I’m not sure how me saying I’d like to see Ruan given a punt has any bearing on how I think of other young trinity players who imo have bright futures.

He always looked like he had something to me.
Obviously we only see the on field person so there could be other things but Willie doesn't sign mugs so I reckon he's got a good chance there.

I'm not up on our young backrowers but that's probably somewhere we need to have some people on the pathway. The future looks good in all other areas but with Vagana, Seth and Storton it's not like it's an immediate emergency.

Peters has signed several players and let them go.

As for Ruan he moved on from us and to be honest I have seen little from him that would put him in the shop window for us to go back to

That doesn't mean he signs mugs.
Not everyone works out or in some cases someone else comes along who is better. I'm sure we'll do the same.

I think you need to read my post again I don't think I said he signed mugs

Oh absolutely there’s no urgency with us having a handful of good edge forwards available and players like Scott who could ship in to it if needed.

It was more like you I’m surprised he hasn’t been more successful or broken through as much as I suspected. He is only 21 though so there’s plenty of time for him. I wouldn’t mind us looking at him but I wouldn’t lose any sleep over us not.

For what it's worth - If I remember rightly Ruan was getting bigged up at one time but didn't know much about him until I saw him play for Leeds a few times and imo he looked average at best,and that's being kind.If he comes good at KR good for the lad, but I'm glad we aren't signing him.
