There's another kid in that team, can't remember his name, think he wears the no. 10 who's far more technically gifted. Malakai is just massive, his thighs are as big as mine!!'"
Malakai is more than just size mate, he's a class above his age!

I'm not going to name him on here but you are correct that the Wests number 10 is a very talented player. However, Motu's lad has pace, balance and game awareness that far exceeds anybody else that i have seen in that age group. To be honest, his size is barely relevent to most of the things he does on the pitch.

Can't agree mate, his size is the reason he's as good as he is. Don't get me wrong, he's an immensely gifted player. But I've watched that age group for 2/3 years now. There's probably 4 or 5 better. Young lad at Beverley and one from Holderness Vikings your lot at Wyke have a couple too.
Great batch coming through. How's your little star coming on? Was it Tyler?

But as always happens at that age, his size means a lot of kids are scared to tackle. He's been stood up by a couple of our kids this year. Great talent though, there's no doubting that.

Seriously Bet, 5 or 6 that are among the best I've seen at that age. Footwork, hands, it's all there. Long way, you're right, but I'd have killed for some of that natural talent.

I took him on a rugby camp day this summer, very impressed by him.
Tyler not with us now... Got a couple of really good lads, beat every team this year and only lost twice, been a good season for us! Good coaches you see

I have seen it all before, what tends to happen though is they often level out around 12-14yrs, and more so at 16, kids catch up with size, development, skill & confidence. Not going to dispute what you say though & hopefully they will kick on, plus I think the coaching has developed over the years for the young ones and is suited more to the modern game. Mind you often get late developers mainly when talking about forwards admittedly.
Great watching the young ones though, I miss it & hopefully you are indeed watching some future stars even at this tender age.
