We defo like Tom Davies.

Perfect replacement and a step up IMO. When he was coming through at Wigan I was surprised they let him go in favour of Marshall. Davies has a superb all-round winger's game.

Out of contract in November as well I think.

Davies? Hope so. Although I imagine he won't come cheap (in terms of salary) now he's an England international.

Yeah, he's off contract. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... on-5521661

And no idea who is coming through the academy that is going to be a standout super league winger, need Walter Wizard to update us on that.

In my opinion Matty Ashton is a first choice winger next season; that for me is his best position. Josh Thewlis is a natural full back and SHOULD be the successor to Stef Ratchford. Yet again tonight when played in his recognised position he has put in a faultless display.

Nathan Roebuck is another Academy graduate who is capable of playing on the wing or in the centre; not sure why he wasn't in the 21 for this game, maybe he is injured.

There is a lot of quality in the Academy and players who could well prove to be excellent Super League players in the next 2 or 3 years; it would be wrong for me to single any out in case I forget somebody!!!!

I thought I’d heard or read that Roebuck wasn’t staying?

Thewlis had some great touches last night, looks like he’s been playing first team for a couple of years.

Thewlis was faultless tonight, his link up play is developing, and he was a threat with ball in hand, a la ratch.

Since it’s a Tom Lineham thread, I think it’s only fair to say that Lineham is also ‘a threat with ball in hand’. For different uncomfortable reasons.

One thing I do like with all the youngsters, and was also evident last year against Salford, is the total enthusiasm they have when playing.
Having some experience around them last night really helped, but it is all very encouraging going forward - especially with a coach who has a reputation for develpping players.
