Quote ="DParky"This youth debate gets me, how can you unearth Super League standard talent if you aren't playing in the Super League?
My thoughts are keep on going lads, yes mistakes will be made but that's part and parcel of playing young players.
The likes of Mort, Higson, Meeks, Hilly, Rourke, Morrison aren't letting anyone down, they are learning their trade and are more than holding their own against people in this division.
Having seen Widnes a number of times this season, they are in a similar position with a group of young players there who will become good players in time.
As for today's game, yes it should really have been killed off at 24-6 and I feel had Alstead's try stood then Donny were there for smashing, as a result of a sinbinning following straight on from that, Donny got a sniff and went close.
Big efforts for mine came from Hobson, Hilly, Rourke before he was injured. Higson got through a lot on the fringes and I felt Jock had a good game both defensively and his passes were crisper. Marshy as well showed some good touches too.
Having looked at the dvd again, Kurt Haggerty had a top game and I hope the club can look at adding him to the squad permanently.
Like him or loathe him, Ian Watson makes that team tick and he kicked a 40-20 too.'"
I like him!
I also think Ridyard has huge potential and does not warrant the critism and, lack of cofidence in his ability. Stand off is a vital pivotal position on a Rugby pitch and I have been impressed with Ridyard's early 'promise' yes, he had a poor game against Batley along with, many others! John Woods started his Leigh career at fullback and centre before eventually moving to stand off. John was never a great 'play maker' however, he was the best GAMEBREAKER!
I'm not suggesting Ridyard will become another Woody however, I'm happy to continue watching Ridyards progress
