Taking the game and opposition into perspective I thought a few of our young lads were very good. Pratt,Butterworth and Windrow who didn't look out of place add Jack Law who looked like a really you g lad for an old bloke like me!
Bowes Smith went really well. Atoni looks like he could be a belter. All round good performance with decent game management. Other than the start of the second half I thought we defended well.
Sorry. Maybe it's just me but Pratt didn't look like he could step in just yet. Loses a lot in size, which of course can be improved. Some nice touches and speed show he has something and will i think be special but he isn't there quite yet.
Eseh could play first team right now for me.
Probably not or only in a massive emergency. His game will be based heavily on his physicality and clearly at senior level he’s not there yet. Eseh is a freak in the nicest possible way but imo even he us probably a season off being totally ready, but all things are relative.
Which is why I think Pratt needs to work on his skills/passing and footwork until his injury body catches up. Pratt is one for the near future not now except in emergency. I like the club have an eye on the future.
Also, Eseh - it’s rare for forwards of his age to have the physicality he does. If he applies himself he could be one of the best props in the league in a few short years.
