How anyone can call Ian i dont know,he is the second highest try scorer and a damn good kicker to boot,and i for one will be very pleased when he signs .Playing under Millward will only improve him,we must keep our young players letting him go would be a huge mistake .

Well they managed to slag off our best points scorer in 'Turls' since John Woods, its the Leigh disease why say one good word when you can say a dozen bad ones.

I like his enthusiasm and he just loves to score points whether thats scoring a try or kicking goals plus when he plays at FB you can see him looking for the ball every play just like Turley .I know he has alot to learn but he is young and learn he will from the master IM.

definitely a keeper..however with a stronger squad next season we should be able to rotate him and he wont be in the spotlight as much..he is still learning his trade and it would be foolish to cast him aside now..

Think a lot of people forgot just how old he is. This is his first full season as an established first team player, and against a lot of teams, is a marked man, yet he still manages to touch down quite regularly and often puts in a flawless performance with the boot. Anybody know of any finished articles in the fullback position at his age? The positional play which at times he lacks, only comes with experiencing different situations in the actual game. you cant teach this in training, nothing you can simulate in a session comes close to matchday. Glad we've kept hold of him, he can go as far as he wants. If he was 26-27 and still making the same mistakes, i'd be worried, as it stands, im pleased with having a promising young leyther playing for his home town and with no shortage of passion too.
