I see the talent in Lilley and Golding although I still have slight reservations with regards to Golding. Handley, however, I have not seen anything from him to suggest he would make it at a top SL club. He has had a couple of good matches against Saints but he doesn't appear overly fast, he isn't great under the kick and he never looks like he'll break a tackle. I might be being harsh as he is only young and he may grow into a really good player but from what i've seen so far I have not been overly impressed. He just appears steady away at the moment.
....have you been watching the same player? He scored some cracking tries last season and apart from a little hiccup against H'field I think, he never looked out of his depth. In fairness too after his 'hiccup' he bounced right back next match. He is faster than Hall and as equally fast as Briscoe - regardless speed aint everything these days for a quality winger. He is definitely fast enough for a SL threequarter, has elusive credentials, is strong (will get stronger) and I don't remember him ever been Joe Vickeryish in any way whatsoever. Now he was hopeless which everybody could see, apparently, long before our esteemed coaching staff did. I think the last straw for them was that bluddy awful crabbing across the defensive line before being embarrsingly pushed back over it (Hull??).
