Hull seemingly look set to go with Harvey Barron and Tom Briscoe on the wings tonight, with Lewis Martin to miss out. Here’s what Last said on the wingers reserves performance last week, and his options.
He showed some real professionalism, and he showed some leadership with the younger boys. Danny Houghton said he came in and he didn’t show a bad attitude towards it and that is credit to Lewis. He’s had a quite meteoric rise in terms of his form and exposure, and he’s just having a little bit of a flatter spot this season, but you’ve also got to pay a bit of credit to Harvey Barron and Tommy Briscoe. They’ve been strong in those wing positions and they need to make sure that they continue playing strongly because Lewis is obviously there waiting in the wings for an opportunity and once he gets it, he’s got good minutes under his belt from playing in reserve grade and ironing out a few of those issues that we’ve touched on. I’m sure once he gets the opportunity, he will be better for it.
