What the hell was that today, his name is Adam Howard, a trialist from Peterlee, what a bruiser he is, ran the ball in well and not bad at tackling, just what we want.
Reminded me a bit of Craig Forsyth, in looks and stature.
Get him and Belly running at you, think I would sh.t myself, Get him signed on straight away Dave.
Still thought we looked weak in defence on the wings, something to work at, all in all not a bad runout, only time will tell (Barrow)

Same hairstyles ?

Similar work ethic too, Paul. 'Psycho' never took a lot of backward steps !!
The lad seemed well known to some of the Thunder fans around me, though he didn't play for them last season to my knowledge.
Expected to see Rich Lopag, Steve Welton and Chris Parker today for Thunder ?

I noticed Stephen Welton came on in the second half.
I was still fuming that Thunder scored their first try while Mr.Esders was in the bin - they then scored their second following a penalty for a high tackle,by Mr.Esders,on his return to the field.
Conceding an early second half try always lifts home supporters and opposition players.

Did you praise young Gray for his first half performance on the other thread ? He is technically very good - though most of our young players did themselves proud.

Not too pleased with the injuries.Matty Barron looked a serious one.

From what I can gather Adam Howard declined an offer from Thunder for the 2010 campaign and he has played the 15-a-side code for West Hartlepool and been to Australia,as well as featuring for Peterlee Pumas.I reckon he could becoma a crowd favourite.

I'm sure he can, Paul, as well as something of a target for the opposition !
I think I may have nodded off during the second half cos I'm sure I didnt see Hoddo either !!
I didnt praise Andy Gray as such but he did well and, as you say, we have a really promising clutch of young guns.

This lad looked like he could do well for us, as well as reminding me of Craig Forsyth a bit, i think he looked a bit like Newton Faulkner from afar

This weeks RLE has described the head coach as wanting to remain at the club long-term,together with Chris T.and quote him as saying,''we both said how much we are enjoying it and would like to stay''.
The coach expects to offer a permanent contract to triallist prop Adam Howard this week.
