One thing that Gareth had was a determination to succeed and he put the work in for his achievements.

Oli looks to me like a modern Paul Newlove. So many similarities. But Gareth in 03 was unstoppable in the centres. In a really bad side. It's a close call. I'm looking forward to seeing Oli in Super League.

I'm not generally one for direct comparisons except where the similarity is stark... and I think we have one in the trinity ranks this year... for me the two players I think are almost identical in style is Josh Rourke and Zac Hardaker

Let’s hope not between the lug oils

I agree but i think the signs are good... the very observation that Josh can walk without dragging his knuckles on the floor!!
