Quote: imwakefieldtillidie "I think Cozza will be okay this year, but from the few games I've seen I don't think he's SL quality unless it's the lower end. Same with Boothroyd, I think he's got a lot of work to do if we go up.
I don't know how true the TJ rumour is, but if it does come off then either Walmsley moves to the right or we've got a quota player sat in the stands.'"
From what I’ve seen Cozza looks every part a SL player. He’s come into likely an higher intensity environment but he’s got the physical attributes but more importantly has got a decent pair of hands. I see him as more of a 13.
Boothroyd, has literally never played against men before this season and is only 20/21. There’s bags of potential there and scope to grow his game. In the very least he looks strong and direct as well as robust. He’s linked up well on the edge too last week so there’s a player in there for sure.
Honestly it’s too early to judge properly and through the season we will see them grow as individuals and a team but early signs are good.
We will probably have a better idea a month or two after the seasons started. An opportunity for a few players to show their worth in some tough early games.
