Gonna be the business this kid . Kids like him and Trueman and others who are showing up strong in SL at a tender age give England a bright future , even present if we throw them in . They’re looking good enough with the experienced players around them

I agree. One of the best centre prospects we have produced in a long time.

First time i saw Harry play was on dual reg with us FEV at The Mount against Batley a couple of years ago.I posted after the game what a great prospect he was.Check the Fev Forum and you will see from my posts about him how i thought he was a tremendous prospect who reminded me of a young Paul Newlove.

Good player, hope he can step up and fulfill his potential. Poor comparison with Senior.

The feature is not a comparison with Senior. The headline is just a play on words referencing the 'old head on young shoulders' angle of the story and the intro to it.

I imagine 90% of readers see an article about a young Leeds centre with the title "Junior Senior" and will assume it's a reference to Leeds' most notable centre of the past 40 years. Amazed if that didn't cross the minds of anyone writing it.

Apart from that, good article, even better player.

I wrote the headline and it didn't cross my mind. ?‍♂️

But anyone who reads the feature will know that's not what it's about.

I think most sentient adults with a knowledge of the game would understand the title as a reference to Newman's youth playing first team rugby,  rather than a reference to Keef. John's prose is a bit more sophisticated than that.

I must admit when I saw the headline, I did assume it was a reference to Keith Senior.  I like to think I have some knowledge of the game but I admit the jury is out on whether I am sentient or not.

Superb last night, man of the match in my opinion. He's going to be a superb player and should definitely be in with a shout of an international call up. 

Great prospect as you both say, but at this moment in time would you select him ahead of Griffin, Connor, Percival, Lynn, Gildart, Bibby or King?

Of those mentioned I think that Griffin is the most improved, he is big, powerful and fast and if he keeps up his present form he should not be overlooked come the test series, my opinion of course.
