Danny Cowling : Tue Apr 01, 2014 2:03 pm  

Is it me or does Danny Cowling look a better player than Heaton at centre. Looked more accustomed to centre. More awareness and good distribution skills.
I like Heaton nevers lets you down. Maybe he could be utilized at fullback. Just a thought

Wasnt Heaton actually signed as a fullback ? dont think he has played in that position for us

Re: Danny Cowling : Tue Apr 01, 2014 2:20 pm  

Heaton wasn't the quickest to start with and since he's bulked up this close season he looks to me to have lost even more pace. See him as a second rower tbh he's gone down the Patto route of losing your pace to gain some muscle.

If Sunday was anything to go by Danny looks the part and the more games he gets under his belt will of course only make him better.

I know when he left Wakey I had a look on their forum and they were not very happy about it.

He was on the fringe being loaned out to Donny but when he did start for the Wildcats he had a reputation of being a ferocious tackler.

The hits on Welham and Arundel on Sunday were exocet stuff, you could hear the impact sat in the stand and they were genuinely hurt.

Still young with a lot to learn but he looks the part, very excited about this lad and if Tyrer keeps up his current good form we have two of the best.

I agree with Waddy on Heaton but he has been one of KH shoe in's so it will be interesting to see how soon he gets a recall.

Completely agree. doesn't seem to have the pace to score a long range try but he looks strong and could do a job in the forwards

But Paterson is still playing on the wing.
Wingers don't become second rowers, centres do, Colin Dixon.

I'm wondering if that's where it all went wrong for me years ago......

Gary Mercer made a pretty decent second rower.

Jamie Bloem started as a fullback/Winger and ended up in the pack
