I recall Stevie himself saying (podcast or interview, can't remember where) that his game was always "crash bang wallop" as an amateur junior and that is what got him noticed and ultimately signed. In the academy he was played in the halves to develop his hands as they have done to a lesser extent with Cam Smith.

Personally I don't think he should play at 13 in the middle where all the players are giants these days (the days of 5ft 8" Harry Pinner waving it around at loose forward are long gone and even Kev himself allegedly insisted on playing in the halves rather than at loose forward).

I'd rather see him develop his skills as a mobile 2nd row similar to (but better than) Liam Farrell who makes up for his lack of stature with great footwork, decent hands and a high work rate.

Havnt seen much of him myself to be honest, i like what i have seen of him though and he's very highly rated. Still very young though. He's a 2nd year u18 but only misses being the age group lower by 20 odd days, For example...He's same age group as Tindall but nearly 11 month younger.

Thought it looked ok at the time.
Watson's making himself look ridiculous, it's only a week since he was accusing the recipient of Kev Brown's "accidental" head butt of feigning injury.

I watched it on super league show, very close but definitely evalds had a foot in the ground.

And the point being if it’s that close that we’re having to watch it back it’s perfectly reasonable for the ref to make that decision in real time.

It was disappointing from Watson. I thought he wasn’t as reactionary as that and was more considered.
