b4 the season starts everyone is excited...... but its different when the seasons starts. I'm excited about the Juniors that we have coming through the ranks

I'm definitely more excited about our juniors than what i am about our fulltime squad, that's for sure.

Castleford maybe, but at the Roosters he alternated between centre, backrow and Premier League.

I'm sure you read that in a profile because he was quite often listed as a front rower on the teamsheet and the backrowers were not ones suited to moving up front. I never saw him play centre at the Roosters either.

If he adds more aggression than Mick Vella then that is a plus. He only needs to be compared to Vella as far as I am concerned because he will probably play off the bench.

I saw him named in the three jersey. Fitzgibbon and Morley were playing prop. He may have been named there but Ricky chopped and changed more foten than not.

He played most of his football in the front row for Castleford and for the Roosters, it's not like he is making a desperate switch to get a spot in the side, he has played most of his first grade career in the front row.

If you read on he hopes to slide down into the second-row. He played as a second row for Castleford and then moved into the frontrow late in the year. His speed, and build lends more to a wide running backrower than a frontrower. I could see him coursing havic out wide like Puletua or Gnulavoul(spelling lol).
Id liek to see him work on his fitness and get game time in PL, and if good enough come into first grade, rather than come on off the bench and play prop.
