Spoke to Tommy at Hull last Saturday and he was having a scan thru week but didn't think it was too serious said he thought he would be back this week but obviously not.

I was not there so can't comment on the game, but a few comments on from yourself And others saying Leeds were out enthused.
There could be a link with the Johnson/Trout deals (imagine leeds must also be trying to sign Holroyd). If you are one of the other 13/14 sat in that dressing room pre game and have not been contacted about signing a pro deal, you will think the dream may be over, after years of effort. Not easy for anyone to put that aside and go out all guns blazing,

I may be totally wrong but have seen it before.

Does anyone know if ebon scurr or Luke punton we're playing for Bradford ?

Leeds played a few younger players at Bradford which probably accounted for the dip in performance rather than the deals for a couple of the team.

I didn't get a team sheet so not sure on the 2 Bulls lads but the number 8 for Bradford was best player on the park.

Number 8 was Oliver Wilson. The other two players asked were not playing.

Halfs not good enough in that 19’s. Certainly not Scrimshaw.

Thanks for the reply about the 2 lads

Spence is no better Gotcha. Johnson is the best half we have in 19s but it makes me weep not seeing him play 9.

I know. I said it when they were signed from the 19’s, and a couple had a go at me. I was trying to be polite

What's the table looking like?

if the table on the offical rugby league website is to be believed (lol i know) then our 19s are comfortably in 3rd, with Saints top (3 points ahead of us having played 2 more games) and Wigan 2nd (having played one game less than us)

Jack Broadbent looks to have the skills to be a stand off and can kick goals. Might be worth testing him out.

Any chance they'll put the u19s on before first team games again?

I did a survey by club recently and a couple of questions mentioned 19s playing as a curtain raiser as a way of getting people into the ground early.

The golden generation always played as a curtain raiser and got good crowds watching them in 2nd half of games. That has to help with transition to first team being used to surroundings and atmosphere rather than playing in front off 100 people at Stanningley.

I did the same survey, hopefully everyone who did it selected seeing the u19s before games.

The club might be worried that people will come in for the 19's then empty for the 1st team with the current rugby being played

haha very true.

the binnings was for tackling a man in the air. seemed fairly harsh.

10 min highlight reel of Owen Trout on his agents (show me the money) youtube page for anyone that hasnt seen much of him. A few of the clips look to be from the recent Yorkshire vs Lancashire academy game which the RFL didnt feel necessary to advertise in any way shape or form. I believe Yorkshire won based off a tweet from Rob Burrow, congratulating the Leeds lads playing for Yorkshire, other than that i wasnt able to find any info on how the game went.

Harry Newman scored a tremendous long-range try for Fev at Rochdale last weekend and made another try with a 40m break. He obviously has a bit of filling out to do but he has a big future if he keeps on developing as he is, not many centres in the Championship have the ability to score 80m tries and he's only 18.

As a Fev fan I'd love to see him on a season-long loan next year as he's probably still a year away from being SL ready, especially defensively, and it would do him much more good than playing in the U19s, if he's still eligible for them next year. But I suspect DR is more likely.

The reverse Lancashire V Yorkshire fixture is Sunday at the Halliwell Jones

Halliwell Jones Stadium, WA2 7NE
Men’s u19s Academy Origin 12.30pm
Women’s Super League Origin 3pm

7 players in the Yorkshire academy squad for this weekend. Dupree, Holroyd, Johnson, Trout, McConnell, Newman and Broadbent. Add in Mclellend, who would be a dead cert to be in if he wasnt just coming back from union and things are looking very good for the future.

Yes dual reg for him win win win situation for player and both clubs, if he plays/steps up well, back into super league for end of 2019 or into 2020.

Lancashire won 36 - 6.
