He was highly rated at the MKM Stadium and he made 23 appearances for the club in his teenage years before making the move east.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">He made his debut for Rovers in the Challenge Cup clash with Lock Lane back in February and scored two tries, but the 20-year-old hasn&#8217;t played since with his only game time coming in the colours of Goole Vikings, where he has made two appearances on loan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">There was a train of thought that this week&#8217;s clash against Charles&#8217; former club would provide the perfect opportunity for the young half-back to show what he could do, with Mikey Lewis being suspended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However, Peters went with Arthur Mourgue alongside Tyrone May in the halves, with Jack Broadbent coming back in to play full-back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">That&#8217;s because Peters doesn&#8217;t believe Charles is ready right now, but he certainly sees his potential and what he could become.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Jack&#8217;s young and he&#8217;s trains so hard and works so hard on his game,&#8221; Peters said on the half-back. &#8220;There&#8217;s no doubt I believe that Jack is going to be a half-back at this club for a number of years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;He&#8217;s got some experienced guys in front of him at the moment and with someone like Jack I think another pre-season at the club would be perfect. A new coach coming in, I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll be impressed with his attitude and the way he trains.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s similar to when we had PLT here, it&#8217;s about developing him in the right way. Initially he was in League One and then we went Championship and whenever he gets some Super League games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Jack at the moment is more around playing that Championship level and we want him to excel at that level and then he&#8217;ll be ready to go in first-team. He&#8217;s a player that the club certainly have plans for in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;He knows where he&#8217;s at. He got thrown in too early initially because he had to at FC, with injuries and things like that. There&#8217;s some games there where he played well but that could have dented a young half-back&#8217;s confidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s important that you manage him in the right way and you put him in and start to give him games when he&#8217;s ready.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Also how we play, because we play Tyrone on the ball, Jack is better suited to that right side. To put in on the left side that he&#8217;s not used to, defensively not used to, kicking on the wrong side, it&#8217;s probably not going to complement Tyrone and it&#8217;s not going to help Jack.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charles has made just one appearance since making the switch from Hull FC Hull KR half-back Jack Charles.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":704741,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[20372,5903,20370,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-711953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-hull-kr","tag-rugby","tag-rugby-league","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711953","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=711953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/704741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=711953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=711953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=711953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
