The new Micky Vella

The best prop in the Hull KR team by a long shot is the awesome Mick Vella, He will run at people all day long and does more than his fair share in defence as well. James is doing his best to replicate him right now at sullys, his under 14 side. He has in the last few games come on in leaps and bounds and last weekends game, although only against a Cottingham team that hasnt won all season was by far the best he has ever played. He is still a little bit upset that he hasnt scored a try this season but i have told him, he is doing all the hard work in the middle of the park for others to do the flashy stuff and run in the trys.At one point in the game he did 4 tackles in a row and all from square marker, which is by no means easy. He isnt winning man of the match awards but again, he is doing the donkey work that doesnt get noticed, and I assured him that when Hull and Rovers scouts come looking at youth games, they know what they are looking at and if he is any good they will notice him. This time last year his confidence was rock bottom and his ability was more or less nil because of this. but now, I think im not dreaming too much if I say He could quite easily bag a scholarship with one of the pro teams for next season. keep it up lad, you might get your dream and play for Hull (or Rovers) yet.
