Just want to add my voice to this thread. I was also immensely impressed by his debut. A good level headed lad who didn't put a foot wrong. Seemed very committed and determined whilst always going forward. Looks like he has the potential to be a great signing. I hope he reads this thread because we are very encouraged.

I also think Davey did very well and look forward to him holding his own in the squad.

Well done Wakey overall. The 1st half showed too many signs of last week but in the 2nd you showed what you really can do when you put your minds to it. Hopefully we can target 50+ past bottom of the table Salford next week (not an easy ask) and make up for that shocking points difference we conceeded last week.

I thought Gledhill has a similar style to Tronc. Tall, strong and extremely hard working. His work rate in defence was excellent for a prop who tend to be more hit up men in the modern game. He impressed me more in 40 mins than Bibb did in all his time for us. If he keeps this up he will be a huge unexpected bonus for us.

Personally i feel this is one area he needs work, but a cracking performance tonight and if he can keep that level up Wakefield have made a very astute signing, lets hope Adam follows in his footsteps in the backrow.

Who is Adam, his brother ?

Great debut by the youngster and great to see the club giving British youth a chance instead of looking overseas

Yes he is his younger brother. Secondrow.

One of the best debuts I have seen from a youngest in a long time.

The was fast, big, strong, make the yards and tackled anything that moved.

Very impressed indeed. Can't wait to see him play again.

Awesome debut.

Was the stand out forward in the 20's against Huddersfield last week. Looks a good prospect amd plays with heart which is more than we can say for some others.

Superb performance! Playing style reminded me of a certain Mr Gareth Ellis. Great signing!

Agreed, thinking about this i dont remember a better debut, a very mature performance i thought.

Yes is little brother and someone "i hope" can follow in his footsteps.

Other little brothers play from that family and they have promise at an early age
