Early doors, but he does look to have Brough-like levels of mongrel feistiness; I think he should be given the SH berth for the rest of the season - we should be prepared to support him through the highs and the inevitable lows as he re-learns his trade at SL level.

The thing that pleased me other than his confidence was his defence. I know it's early days and a long season but he seemed OK, tackled well and kept his position. So two games and no real sign of his defensive frailties which we are told he suffers from.

Keeps up with his goal scoring, could be up amidst top points scorers, or maybe it's a bit too late

I agree with you on that. All the people who had seen a fair bit of him said his defence was poor but from what I have seen so far he has done ok in defence.

Best thing for me was his eagerness to throw a few

We'll soon coach that out of him

Hope not. Whilst I don't want him constanly spoiling for a fight it's not to be sniffed at in a little un imo

That's what I was allluding to really - as a fellow little 'un, I'd say it's essential that he has a bit of dog in him, just like Broughy. Kevin Brown tried to bully him and he was having none of it - he also stood up well to Mason's attempts to take his head off. Good lad!

watched Batley v keighley last season and that big dirty 18 stone lump of a bully prop Andy Shickell tried to rough him up, he ended up on their with the biggest black eye I have seen, the eye was just a slit !! I dont think shickell ever got over it.....

In response to uptoncats query re Rinaldi....he was interviewed in 1873 suite before shudds game...shoulder problem and been playing after having pain killing injections....came back too soon after missing les cats. Seemed to play down that it was a long term prob and expects to be back after latest rest.

I hope so coz i think his experience will be needed Saturday.

Some players really flourish, when they go from part time to full time training and I believe that Moore will be one of these, He seems to have all the right ingredients to be a top class SH and he should be given as much game time as he can to develop.

Fair play to Kear this week - the tactics were much better than the shocking display at Salford ... He was also ruthless in dropping the three quarter pair Dean and Johnson and possibly Rhinaldi ... Selection headache now for him - id image Dean will be back and Rhinaldi in a game that could prove significant come the end of the season ...
