Sorry but don't agree, for me you're way over rating a player with 2 SL games to his name who frankly know one mentioned on here until he scored a winner against Cas.
Owen has way more RL pedigree regardless of who he plays for - he's a in a different class to Kaye and anyone who knows RL would tell you that. Think you have rose tinted specs on here.
Whether long term Kay would have been the better signing who knows it's pure speculation which is exactly what a prospect is - personally I was a fan of Liams and wished we'd kept him. I'd have preferred that to any Owen deal. However fan of his as I am I can't and won't kid myself that at this moment he's a better player than Owen because he simple isn't if you base it on current and previous form.
How am I over rating him, I said he was highly regarded at both Doncaster and Leigh, which he is.
I said he'd handled everything SL had thrown at him and had done so with aplomb, which he did.
You may not have mentioned him before he scored against Cas but don't try speaking for everyone, I for one knew quite a bit about him both as a junior and as a Doncaster player.
Owen doesn't have a greater RL pedigree that's just you building a case, he does have more experience though I'll admit that. What Kaye has that Owen doesn't is unknown potential, we don't know yet how good he could be.Owen on the other hand is a known quantity and fits the description I gave in my earlier post.
Well done on trying to claim some kind of knowledge based higher ground with your "anyone who knows RL would tell you that" comment but I'll back my judgement thank you and although I don't know you I'd trust my judgement over yours based on your posts.
