I have spoken with a few people who think we as a club need a top class centre and I have said we already have one - Tom Briscoe is the real deal for me - I will go so far to say he is the best youngster I have seen since 17 year old Shaun Edwards.
I leave it to you all to shoot me down in flames

Well I'm not gonna....I agree with you.... The lad's a future star!

Nice to be 3 for 3 but we are a long way off still. We lacked some imagination in the final 3rd again. But it is getting there.
Another big test at Hudds next week.

biggest difference for me this season is the fitness, after 20mins last season they were all stood knackered with hands on hips, this season we still look fresh even after playing a physical side like Catalan

Spot on...they looked shagged with 15 mins to go...as did Wigan.
We look to be a team thats taking it out of the opposition for a change,,,good to see.

Don't know the exact figures but to me we seem to be conceding less "silly" penalties. Again this can be attributed to the fitness (mentally and physically) also jon sharps influence on discipline.

That's very true. Apart from Kingy's lay on against Wigan we've looked good in that department.
Only been to 2 of the 3 games though so I cant comment for Celtic game.

Our pack has been emmence so far this season and I must admit I've been very impressed with Dowes and Cusack in particular. As long as the forwards can continue to lay a platform and work their socks off, our backline is good enough to score some points and hurt teams.

This kid Briscoe looks like a future International,his brother is supposed to look even better.Wonder who found these lads,they certainly had an eye for talent spotting.

One Step at a time, Jack is still very very raw, Yeah plently of future talent *Fingers crossed* in the 21's ..Pop down and watch when they kick off in March! And watch these guys develop.. i remember last season for the 18's, think it was at either Wigan or St Helens, Tom Stepped down and and a run out for the 18's! Wow he was different gravy!!!!
