Warrington Wolves • Half Back
George Williams's thoughts on Leon Hayes's Development confirms my thoughts that we need some more half back cover. From what I have seen Leon needs more time before he can play regularly at Super League level. Mind you I have been wrong before.
From the Guardian
At the age of just 19, however, Williams believes rushing the Warringtonian’s development would be to his detriment.
“Leon’s had a glimpse of first-team but I think he needs 12 months of playing against men now,” he said.
“That could be on dual-registration when the time comes – there’s some good teams in the Championship and he’ll certainly learn his trade there.
“He’ll be really good for us over time but we can’t rush him too quick – if we’re talking about trying to win a Grand Final, it’s a big ask for a young kid.”
