Always said Martin was a great prospect and the better if our upcoming wingers. Got real speed and size about him. His try still took some scoring last night.

I still think Barron could make it, but needs to put some size on. Martin better of the 2 though

Well wasn't to bad last night. Martin certainly looks the part . Jebson needs to fill out a bit as looks lightweight but that will come. Litten still makes mistakes and sometimes just looks to laid-back . At times he appears to be playing in a practice game.But there is a top player in there. So that's the season over. Again for me it was our pack which looked so small . But that's been addressed. We have a good group of youngster's coming through. I remain positive for next year. It's the hope that kills you.

You would hope that none of that starting pack are in our strongest 17 next year.

I see that as a positive. He has the skills and if the lad can come into Super League in a poor team and not be fazed then, as you say, there'll be a real player there when he develops physically.

Highlights watched

The positives: Lewis Martin took his try very well, just from looking at him he has the build to be a potentially very good winger.

The negatives: Jordan Lane.

I can't believe anyone has any criticism for Litten. He's nowhere near reached his potential yet. He was third choice behind Hoy and Shaul this year, yet he's got some good game time under his belt. Rate him when he gets the number 1 shirt. By then he'll be a top player.

It's more an observation. He's got all the attributes to be a top player but IMo one of the things he needs to improve on is the awareness when balls are kicked through. He seems sometimes to take an age getting across or making safe balls which have been kicked through.

He's still learning at this level. The best way to learn at anything in life is through mistakes.
