Whether he gets his third Super League opportunity of the year against Leigh Leopards remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Noah Booth is continuing to impress those within the four walls of Sewell Group Craven Park.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old has been knocking on Willie Peters’ door since making his Super League debut last season. Booth joined the club from Wakefield Trinity in a swap deal involving Neil Tchamambe ahead of the 2025 campaign, signing a four-year contract.<\/p>\n

He has gone on to score nine tries in 10 appearances for the Robins to date, while he marked his senior debut for Wakefield in the 2024 Championship campaign.<\/p>\n

With Oliver Gildart set to miss this week’s clash with Leigh Leopards due to a head injury<\/a>, Booth is among the contenders to fill the vacancy in the centres.<\/p>\n

It’s likely Peters will opt for a more experienced option in what promises to be a fierce contest at Sewell Group Craven Park, with Rhyse Martin and James Batchelor also emerging as potential replacements<\/a> to face Adrian Lam’s Leopards.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Booth continues to develop in East Hull and is catching the eye of those around him – including veteran team-mate Peta Hiku, who has enjoyed a decorated career spanning both hemispheres and more than 300 senior appearances.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coaching staff are doing a good job with him, but when he does have questions, I\u2019m happy to help,\u201d Kiwi icon Hiku said of Booth.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a phenomenal talent. He\u2019s young and has a long way to go, but his attacking ability comes naturally. There\u2019s still a lot for him to learn.<\/p>\n

“Physically, he\u2019s strong, so defensively he\u2019s good, but he\u2019s got to find that balance between patience and the other areas of his game.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see the potential he\u2019s got. He works very hard and, most importantly, he wants to learn. You can see how far he can go in this game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Booth last featured in the Super League win over Wigan last month, scoring a try in the 62-4 victory over a youthful Warriors outfit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whether he gets his third Super League opportunity of the year against Leigh Leopards remains to be seen,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":644858,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[20372,217307,5903,20370,101,20373,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-644857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-hull-kr","tag-peta-hiku","tag-rugby","tag-rugby-league","tag-sports","tag-super-league","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=644857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/644858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=644857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=644857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=644857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
