he played for the reserves against wakey on saturday

I'm all in favour of developing our young players , and games against teams of the standard of Keighley and St Judes are ideal for that , but in the next two league games we play Sheff and Fax so hopefully we will select our strongest side barring injury ,

Right now that means TKL and Dean battle it out to play alongside Grady , a youngster whose development has been handled correctly and now earns the right to be first choice. Thompson needs the same development approach as Grady,

The Vicar

To be fair though Vicar i think Thompson is already quite far in his development, he spent a large amount of his time on loan at Blackpool last year and was scoring for fun. No doubt Grady deserves his chance and Toa will always get the other spot if fit but Thompson is certainly putting pressure on both along with Dean. Out of all our youngsters i have seen come through he appears to have that x facor about him and looks a real threat with the ball. He also got 2 playing against Soliola from Saints.


One to watch me thinks.

Is Chris Dean actually training with us?

Matt Gidley picked up an injury last game for Saints which will rules him out for around a 4 - 5 week period. Prior to this i believe Dean was all set to come back to Widnes after having recovered from his injury. I dont think he will be with us for the next 3 weeks.

Bang on Vikingman i think Dean Thompson is a superleague player in the making.In my opinion i think he is better than chris dean.If you good enough your old enough.Out of the youngsters mullaley and hulme wont get much playing time in the first team.I think these two players need to go on loan for development.
