    Default Jack Welsby

    Young Player of the Year nominee alongside Leeds’ Harry Newman and Wigan’s Harry Smith. Fair play to the lad, had his fair share of criticism but has played pretty much every position in the backline this year and still managed 8 tries (joint 3rd for Saints) and 5 assists. Also still currently in the process of fishing Folau out of his pocket!
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    All very good young players. Of those three I'd probably go with Harry Newman who was outstanding until he got injured.

    It's like he had a radar or something.

    He’s like a Purple Genie. Mention 3 young lads and he appears (must resist mentioning him rubbing his lamp......)

    I’m just surprised he could get a WiFi signal from behind a bush in Orrell

    Harry Newman would have been my choice, didn't really expect Welsby to be on that list of contenders.

    What's Orrell got to do with it? I don't live there.

    Interesting. I thought Smith had done really well in the games i'd seen him for your lot.

    Take a bow lad, two games in a row you've proved your doubters wrong. Thanks for Championship Jack.

    I can understand peoples genuine concerns over what his position will be but you can’t ask anymore from a youngster. He could turn out to be one of them players that you HAVE TO have somewhere in the team. He kept Faloa quiet last week and won us the game last night. These are the games that can make or break a youngster and he’s done very well. Considering he’s a humble looking kid he certainly doesn’t look phased by a challenge.
    Well done Welsby.

    On the Jonny Lomax podcast he explained how he himself was used in different position early in his career that was more or less a mirror reflection on how Welsby is currently used. Welsby will obviously be remembered for his last second try but it was his defence with partner Grace that was superb for most of the game.

    Imagine how the lad is feeling right now?! Saints born and raised, playing for the club he loves and grabs the match winner with the last play. Absolutely made up for him.

    Another great showing from 'Mr Ordinary' and another mediocre moment from him.

    A couple of weeks ago I was all for Simm playing ahead of him but he was exceptional last week and this week too. Not just the try either - there was a key play where he put an amazing shot on French as well.

    Same here , I was worried when I seen him walk out in the semi , he went on to have a top game . This will be a catalyst for him . Whatever happens from now he will always be remembered . Surly he deserves a song !

    Last 2 games of the season, when it mattered he stood up to the task. Brilliamt for such a young lad.

    The lad will probably get some sleep Tuesday or Wednesday. What an achievement at such a young age... WOW.......

    I don’t know where the lads will be celebrating with all the pubs shut but I imagine it will be a glorious mess!

    I've been critical of the lad but •••• me, he didn't put a foot wrong and his try was some something we'll talk about for years.
