No doubting his ability/ heart etc. I really like him and really hope he does the business for us next year in SL. More of an observation than trying to be negative about the lad. The fact that the majority of centres in SL/ NRL are 6 feet 1-2 plus he goes against the grain. Looking forward to seeing him hopefully excel

Yeah I appreciate it wasn't a negative comment-tbh I haven't heard a negative comment about the lad.
We're very lucky to have some very promising youngsters on the books and he's one of them.

Seeing as we've still got a quota spot available, this guy could be worth a shout ?? https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/wa ... back-match

I’d personally say he’s fairly small compared to the majority of SL/NRL centres, but that’s just my opinion and observation. It is what it is I really like the lad and hope he has a stormer of a year, more to the game than just size.

Had Wood in his pocket last night did Pratt. The lad doesn’t take any prisoners. I like Hall but Pratt has had two strong performances.

Reminded me of his break against Wigan circa 2019ish.

I’ll happily swallow humble pie on the size comment regarding Pratt, he was brilliant last night against a huge experienced centre. On that viewing it’s his to lose for sure. It was lovely seeing Jowitt carve through the cas line also, hopefully a sign of things to come.

Our halfbacks and forward play lends itself to the old Melbourne move with a run from Smith, inside to Cronk who then brought Slater on the inside again at speed.
Needs to be fast hands but I reckon that's us now.

I remember we had such a move when we played Wigan away many seasons ago. I believe it was the game when we had Henry Paul playing for us. The scrum half broke from the scrum to the right passing to the stand off who reversed the play putting Steve Diamond through the gap.

I don't think Henry Paul and Steve Diamond ⁸played for us at the same time mate

Diamond played his last game when Henry was 12......
