Just watching the HkR v London game form yesterday and Alex Brown has gone in for his second try - this guy looks a real find.

Could he do a Chris Hill and take Super League by storm?

Defence is pretty poor so far from what I've seen. He'll need to improve on that.
Seems to have a bit of power and pace though. We'll see how he goes.

Nope. Not unless he learns the finer skills needed to be a decent winger in SL.

Alex Brown is a Huddersfield product. Two words: high ball. If he's sorted that he will have rectified his biggest weakness.

We've gone full circle for wingers in this country from a few short years ago when Calderwood and Gardner were on the wing. Hall, Charnley, Briscoe, McGillveray, Riley. Then theres Brown who looks useful, Lineham tearing up trees at Hull. I'm sure theres plenty of others that I cant think of right now.

The young lad percival at saints looks a cracker.

Might be a 3/4 though?

Still

He looks like he has real potential.

Went to Saints-Leeds the other week and Saints attacked down their more experienced right side, it was only in the last quarter Percival got the ball thrown to him and they made 2 breaks from distance and scored two tries too.

Looks a belting player.

Granted he looked good going forward with ball in hand - but with what passes for defence on our left wing would make anyone look good!

in pre season Brown looked like he was 4th choice on the wing but even if hall is fit I can't see how you could drop him at the momemt

Admittedly I've only seen him in the one game, but he looks a good prospect. I think it was his first try, the hand-off, the strength and then pinning his ears back, that took some scoring. I was impressed with him.

Thought he always looked ok for us in our academy sides, only played once for the 1st team then got moved out to Batley as McGillvary had overtook him and broke into our squad. always impressed me for Batley too so glad he's got another chance in SL.

we had a glutton of good young backs at the time, cudjoe,mcgilvary,brown,greg johnson,greg worthington,who were very good at u20 level but then all either got promoted to first team,loaned out or moved on.
good luck to him.
