WHOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSH!!!!!

Thought he had a decent run in the centre but has been stronger at second row, only 6 games this season due to injury at start of season, has now played full 80mins in the last three and scored 6 tries.

Is he training full time now ?

Thought he went out on dual reg at beginning of season? If not would like to see him tested at that level sometime soon

Think he is in his final year of his studies iirc

big unit, but so was mark jones if anybody remembers him

Yeah and I remember going to Wilderspool and seeing him batter one of the Warrington forwards, I think he got sent off if my memory serves me right

He was a good player, I can remember rumours of him being close to a GB call up.

Mark Jones made one decent run in his career at FC. He wasn't good and worse he wasn't good value having cost a fortune to bring in. He was definitely a "big unit" but that counts for nothing without heart and ability. That rumour must have been started by his agent.

Probably, I was only young and heard it in the threepenny.

Mark Jones was actually capped for GB. He came off the bench against France in Perpignan in February 1991 after only 20 appearances for Hull. It was only ten minutes, so one of the shortest international careers ever!

The best thing about him was his punch.

The main thing I remember about Mark Jones, was that his boots use to always fall off.

Think that says it all really.

yea the match at wilderspool he really had a go at the wires forwards and there had sum big lads, think it was the match against halifax where he had his one decent run, but what a run, pity he couldnt do it on a regular basis,

Going back to Laurence. I understand he is in full time training.

Has he been let go?

He is still listed on the FC website. The site removed McKinnon within hours of him being announced as leaving, so I would say that Pearce is still with us (and I think he was playing at centre in the most recent u20s game according to the match report).

I think that the u20s have a break at the moment.

sure hes out on duel reg

Signed for York on dual reg but I dont think he's played a game for them.

He played in our last under 20 game on the 2nd of june in the centres.

Can't see him making it at SL level

Me neither.

Exam leave ?

He played 10 mins preseason, I think against Rovers.

Really took some holding & needed 3 or 4 to drag down.

But and its a masive but, he was then hands on knees, blowing out of his arris - looked like he'd run a marathon.

All about stamina with this 'project'. I would have thought full time training, nutrition instruction etc would have sorted this ? Maybe it takes more than 6 months especially if he splits his time with important studies. If he was your boy where would you suggest he invests most of his time & efforts.

Again, in AP PG we trust........................

Told to find another club.

Looked nearly ready for SL when I saw him against Leeds, shame if it doesn't work out or him.
