How much of a revelation has Abram been this season?!

Pretty sure I read somewhere he had never played at fullback or kicked goals (certainly at a professional level) and yet he looks like he's played there all his life. Kevin sinfield would have been proud of his kick from the touchline against Town.

To do a decent job and play one or two games out of position is to be expected in a squad this small but he has played most of the season out of position and is going from strength to strength. Looks solid under a high ball and runs it back strongly given his size. His prefered position of hooker has obviously stood him in good stead for finding a gap and backing up too.

It will be a real headache for Forster when Burns comes back!

Ps. Who was meant to be our first choice goal kicker? Burns?

Agree he’s been awesome, I heard he had to have a couple of injections ahead of today’s game to help with a knock so makes it more impressive heard shacks had one in his shoulder too and he also was great today.

Didn’t realise he was the son of the old Leigh coach, what a player he’s turned out to be.

He has shown maturity way beyond his years. Hope we can get at least 1 more season from him before someone signs him.

Think Bilsborough was supposed to be our kicker
