I’ve always thought oggy is just a little too short in the big areas of the big players, and always will be..

Oliver Holmes ball skills let him down unfortunately and he isn’t a very good passer of the ball

I have to agree with this. He gives his all but at times last season he got the ball out wide last season and took the wrong options.

Oliver was good enough to go on tour with the knights last season, for me the lad is one of the best second rowers in our league I and for one welcome his return.

Does anyone else think our right hand side next year will be.
HB Truman
SR McMeeken
C Rankin
W Minikin

I think in attack’s that would be pretty good.

I’m not saying he’s bad . He is a very good player in fact If you ever watch any videos with cas players they will all say they don’t like running at him and training . And Michael Shenton put him in his all time best team who he had played with . He is solid in defence and runs good lines . Just think his passing skills aren’t as good as some others . Just coz a player isn’t necessarily good at one attribute mean he’s a bad player

More chance of it being 2 new signings, Clare back up and Minikin still to earn a deal beyond this year yet.

That's one of the reasons why I'd have him working further in-field where, like Massey, he can punch above his size.

I've posted before that play down the left can stop when Oggy gets the ball and that's not me having a go, I just think he has a different skill set to say, JSL. It's all about getting the balance right.
