good to see the club committing to youth , will be very interesting to see if smith can develop the physicality to play super league. Think he has all the skills but he’s going to need to develop quite a lot of bulk and hardness

He did look to have put on a bit of muscle Boxing Day and against a starting Leeds team defended well enough in the middle and at 18 years old he will only get stronger.

He has a build imho similar to Mchane. IMO he will be better than McShane. This is an excellent extension.

He's half the size of McShane.
But I think he'll be big enough.

He reminds me abit of Danny Walker at Warrington, if he can get anywhere near as good as him the team will really benefit. Also looking forward to seeing how Doyle does in SL.

If Doyle hadn’t picked up his injury I would have tipped him to be up there for our player of the season before a ball was played, I really like the kid

He’s a really sound lad too. I was talking to him a few week back at the gym, really eager for SL etc.

Doyle reminds me of Daryl Clarke
