Wayne Mardle tipped Ricky Evans for success earlier this week and had now done the same for his practice partner, Dave Pallett.
Mardle said that in his opinion to Sky Sports about Pallett that despite regressing previously is back to reaching the heights of before. ‘Pallett has a swagger, a good ability, a decent throw. He was one of the first youngsters to break through five years ago - we thought 'this kid has got it!'’ ‘He has probably regressed since then. Something has stopped his progress.’ ’He went backwards, but is now getting back to it. If he acquits himself, and realises that he has got another shot, then he can get back onto the world stage.’ ‘He is still in his 20s. He has got a belief in his own ability when it is going well for him, which makes him dangerous.’ ‘The fact that he tells me that he has got his fighting qualities back. Good luck to him. He has a hell of a lot of talent.’
