You mean like Reece Lynne, Liam Kent and Lee Williams?

Lets hope they don't get bigged up too much (like Lee / Washbrook / A Thackery etc) to be world beaters only to be slated for left right and centre when they don't turn out to be the next Wally Lewis.

Out of those 3 Tommy Lee is the only 1 who got bigged up all throughout his junior career. Anth Thack pretty much slipped under the radar.

Thackerays brother was bigged up a lot though, although not as much as Tommy Lee who was getting tons of comments from the likes of David Waite

barrie mcdermott mentioned on sky the other week that lee crooks had told him about reece lynne,and that he was potentially a class act to watch out for.let's hope fc look after these kids,and don't flog them to death!!

has anybody spotted a potential home grown scrum half for the future,i cannot believe that with the amount of junior rugby played in the city neither ourselves or rovers have unearthed a little jack russell type snappy tw*t that can be groomed into a class half back.

Lee Williams looks excellent when I have seen him in the under 18's and when he played for Skirlaugh under 16's.



He certainly has potential to be a great 7.

Danny Houghton

So - perhaps and I mean perhaps we have Lee Williams who has just finished as an under 17 this season.

Where is our U18 U19 U20 U16 scrum half ??????????



Danny Houghton played all his youth at 6 and we play him at hooker.

Steve Crooks was a prop when playing.



WHERE ARE OUR 7s ? ??? Lee Williams has 50/50 chance at best and I don't read/hear of any other 7s - am I wrong - if so GREAT

Reece Lynn, without putting too much pressure on him, will come good im sure. Hes similar to Leon Pryce. Spent his youth days at Hull Isberg and Mel Harman was tipped off about him a few years ago as 2 other clubs were sniffing round.

From there age group Tommy Lee, Scott Moore and Thomas Coyle were all tipped by many respected names in the game to be world class stand offs or halfbacks, at he ages of 21 Lee and Moore have both had to change positions to get regular SL games, they are both doing well especially Moore but still not what many expected, while Coyle was at Oldham last time I looked, Danny Houghton was tipped as a great 7 when he played was younger and im sure there are many other examples at other clubs, we just have a problem in this country of turning potential in to world class players when it comes to 6s and 7s not just Hull, Id even be surprised if any of the likes of Eastmond, Tomkins or Myler who are already first team players turn out to be real top class halfbacks.

To be fair Mel Harman must look at every player in Hull at all levels and we don't seem to uncover many half backs in a city this size.The West Riding area seems to produce a lot more players and places like Featherstone seem to produce a lot more players of super league quality than we do.
