Yes, playing for St Esteve (Catalans Reserves). Seems to have put a bit of size and has being playing in the front row, he has looked fantastic the few times I watched him play. Still no signs of him getting called back into the first team yet though I think.

Didn’t know that, only watched him play a few times this year and he looked alright, definitely looks out of place at fullback though.

If you mean best 17, here’s mine. 1.Arthur Mourge 2.Fouad Yaha 3.Arthur Romano 4.Matthieu Laguerre 5.Zenon, Miloudi, Escaré 6.Theo Fages 7.Cesar Rougé 8.Romain Navarette 9.Alrix Da Costa 10.Julian Bousquet 11.Paul Seguier 12.Mickael Goudemand 13.Benjamin Garcia 14.Tison, Marion, Lacans 15.Justin Sangaré 16.Jordan Dezaria 17.Maxime Stefani Don’t know if Amir Borouh will play for France but he would a good player to have. Pretty strong 17, defenintly needs work in the outside backs but spine looks strong and middle looks very solid aswell. I highly doubt the England test will be anything like last year, I think France have a decent shot at this game. Still would be a miracle if they won but I think there’s a chance.

I wonder Broadbent is going to slot into the Hull KR 17. Also Castleford losing one of their best players. Seems a strange signing for both teams.

No Will Pryce, Worst coach of the year award goes to Adam O’Brein. Can’t wait till this bloke gets sacked, not long now.

@welshmagpie I believe I’m correct in saying you run HeCanPlayFor. Big fan of your work, wondering if there are any Welsh heritage players I am unaware of.

Yes definitely not many. The flags next to there names show were they were born and raised. In fact there’s only 13 Welsh born and raised players in the top 3 English leagues and 5 of them are from the 2011 crusaders team and close to retirement. Not great stuff. Though some of the youth does look exciting. Billy Walkely is only 20 years old and already has 9 tries in league 1 this season for keighley, he has heaps of potential and could go on to be a great player. Youngsters Coope-Franklin, Huish and Jenkins all born 2003+ have all been signed to L1 teams. Also from what I hear Charlie Glover is a serious talent, born in 2005, playing consistently in the front row for Salford reserves and already called up to the wales squad. He is a player who could debut in SL. Also a few other Welsh boys in the Salford Reserves and other SL academies.

I thought Josh Lynch was born in Colwyn Bay Wales but it says on the Warrington wesbsite he is born in Liverpool and raised in Preston so I’m not sure.

Yes I haven’t included Knowles and Harry Smith because they are nailed on England players. But I put Best and Frizell at the bottom because there’s a chance they could play for Wales.

It’s alright considering he’s playing for a pretty average team. Also from what I hear O’Brien doesn’t want Pryce to play structured footy rather play instinctive, and he’s definitely running the ball a lot more than passing.

He’s defence isn’t terrible, they’re are far worse in first grade then Pryce. He didn’t have the greatest game against Canterbury and made a few poor reads but it happens, and he will bounce back. What I mean is that no SL players have respect from default. KPP had to prove himself in the NRL when he should have already had the reputation in aus as a top quality backrower. Every English player that comes to NRL is vastly underrated.

He’s been playing fantastic, 3 Tries and 2 assists in 5 Matches. Watched a bit of the Canterbury game today and the whole Newcastle team was pretty dreadful, they never really had any opportunities in attack. Not suprised not many people on a Newcastle forum are calling for his debut. SL players just don’t get the respect they deserve in Australia, so I wouldn’t look much into it. Oh well, when he is there star player carrying the team in a few years they’ll know who he is.

Thanks for that, 4 Actually after doing some research. Fantastic stuff from Midlands to bring these players in.

Hopefully Pryce gets the nod, would be terrible if he doesn’t. Fletcher Sharpe has actually been the starting fullback in the NSW cup this year with Armstrong on the wing. But Sharpe has been injured I think, so Armstrong has had the spot. No denying Armstrong is a great player and deserving of a debut but Will Pryce is just on a different level, If O’Brien has any clue of his doing he will start Pryce. But he doesn’t so who knows.

Ponga’s picked up an ankle injury, hopefully Pryce’s time to shine now.

London absolutely revolting in that second half. Can’t even defend them at all, that attacking display was one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

Alex Walker is a shocking player in attack. In defence he is strong but he shouldn’t even be passed the ball at this point.

Salford playing dreadful. A few positives for London but they are going to have to execute there sets better if they wan’t to win. I’m hoping Ugo Tison has a big impact off the bench.

Lighten up a little, London are in Super league, they will likely go down but they will better for it in the future. Also the amount of London juniors in the first team is amazing, shows great promise for the future of southern english rugby league.
