currently 10-0 leeds. A very aggresive leeds pack led by prop micky learmouth, have laid a platform and hooker scott lee has caused havoc. Saints just gone over, great work by ben parry sent his winger over

ht 14-4 leeds. A good physical game with two good packs. Stand out player for leeds is centre jordan harper.

What was the final score?
Don't tell me, another inspiring half time talk led to us losing 48-14!

We won 44-16 mate and this group have a lot of potential.
Of course it can all change but i honestly think we could get at least 4 maybe 5 1st teamers out of the 17 on show today.
It all depends on the rest of their development and admittedly it's the 1st time i've seen this team live but if they continue to their undoubted potential we have a very good batch and the no10 Micky Learmonth showed some great touches and power for a Prop.
Both the u15 and u16 packs were very strong in the front row and both 9's looked sharp and commanding.

Thats a fantastic result, i think Saints came into the game unbeaten in the last two seasons.

Is Micky any relation to Lester Learmonth, who was at Leeds as a Colts player back in the 80s?

Don't know mate but he is a "unit" and very good with his hands definately a future 1st teamer if is development continues positively.

Micky Learmonth is paul mcshanes future bro-in-law. he's massive for 16 a real handful watched him play for hunslet warriors over the past couple of years, he got man of the match in the under 16s yorkshire cup final vs siddal this year. nearly every club in super league wanted to sign him so to get him is a real coup as far as i'm concerned added the fact he's a leeds fan probably swayed him. he has massive potential.

No sign of nantwichexile yet who'll no doubt want them all chucked into the first team when they hit 16!

well damo if he develops at the rate he is i can see him making his debut while he's still and academy player, he's very good.

If they good enough then I also agree that they old enough. But nantwichexile wants to see most of the team replaced by academy players NOW and that’s why I made a sarcastic response including his name. Mind you I’ve probably though the same as him at times this season



Thanks for the feedback you’ve given from this match guys

Cheers for the additional info tl and i agree he is exciting to watch for a Prop.

Learmonth is a Wire now isn't he?

Sign of the times?

Who said he is?

Heard a loud whisper on Friday at the HJ.

Whether it's 100% though we will have to wait and see.

I know 100 per cent he has signed for Warrington

Given what Totalloiner posted i'll wait and see for an official announcement.

He has signed for Wire, fact.

He's not the only one unfortunately, but best of luck to the lads.

Jesus, and still posters tell us this club is still run well.

I get more disspointed losing real good potential youngsters than I do losing established first teamers. The long term loss can be real huge.

It appears that Leeds no longer have the money or appeal to tempt these young players.

Who else and how many more Seth?

I know of a young lad who was highly sought after, surname of French. Wanted by Leeds, Cas, Wakey, Huddersfield, Bradford. He's a leeds lad and fan aswell, but chose to go to Cas instead. Just said he felt the set up at Cas was better for development. Strangely he also made what I thought was a ridiculous point that a lot of youngsters are put off going to Leeds due to getting to Kirkstall for training.

The club were very quick to heap plenty of praise on the u15/16's and yet how come they haven't signed the cream of the crop?

Chris Plume apart, our youth coaches and staff are pretty poor.

Is John Bastian still at Wire?
