McLelland is getting better. Broadbent is a super prospect

Agree on both. McCllelland has really Impressed me lately, especially in his couple of games for fev against fax and Toronto, looking forward to watching the fev game from yday.

Theres a touch of class in everything Broadbent does, quality prospect

Being reported that Mclelland will be loaned to HKR for 2020 season.

Been denied by his agent, thought it was a strange move as theyv got Mikey Lewis who is another outstanding young half

Mikey Lewis, probably potentially the best young half back in the Northern Hemisphere. What are they doing with his development?

Think they'v just recalled him from a very good loan spell at Newcastle , League 1 was too easy for him really. Hopefully theyl get him a loan in the championship for the last few week of the season ready to push on nxt year.

Ahead of Harry Smith and Lewis Dodd? I don't think so.

He is if you know what you are talking about, rather than with Biase. I know they are good players, but sorry, but Lewis is the most natural best potential scrum half I have seen in the last 25 years. And I have been in involved in junior rugby throughout that period. Whether he makes it is another question, as that would require the right development. But potential wise, he is very very good.

Two Halton Hornets lads - such a shame Widnes have fallen apart; if they were a club with a bit of cash they could have a very decent team if they could hold on to the local prospects (Danny Richardson and MArk PErcival to name just the Saints examples).

I agree, I'm against pro clubs signing players at scholarship level, I believe they should stay with their amatuer clubs until at least 17 and bring back town teams up to that age.
