I'll give you a ring mate

I'm there

hopefully catch up matt

Great to see that the Scholarship and Academy programme put in place 4 years ago now paying dividends. A good few years of hard work gone on by a lot of people im guessing?
Great to see really good numbers representing England at both Scholarship and Academy Level this year. As a watcher of both ages i can say that the future is really bright!! Well done all involved over the years Keep it going!

Yes mate, I'll be in the South.

sure I'll catch you at some point

England beat Australia 14-8 at Leigh in awful conditions. It wasn't a day for expansive rugby, but England played the conditions far better. Harry Smith was particularly outstanding.

Of the Leeds players Newman & Holroyd were really strong.

yep, i thought they both looked strong today, and Mustapha went ok in the minutes he got

Any update on Newman's injury?

Newmans injury ? I spoke to him after the game he's not injured..... He cramped in the game that's all

Thought it was noticeable that when Corey Johnson went off England lost control of the game. Soon as he returned England looked much better again. Muizz ran strongly as he always does.

As previously mentioned the Wigan 7 Harry Smith had a superb game and was best player on the park.

I expect a much better Australian performance on Friday night at The Emerald though.

I agree, I thought Corey Johnson had a top game. Ethan Havard was the pick of the forwards for me. I also thought Welsby and Newman were very good, Harry Smith was outstanding and a well deserved m.o.m.

Newman, Holroyd, Mustapha, Johnson and Mclelland are all great prospects for Leeds.

I thought McLelland was poor yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised to see Welsby moved to #6 for the next game.

Agree that McLelland wasn't great but I would keep him there for friday night, it was never going to be easy for him without any RL for 12 months.
The Senior twins were disappointing too so they'll need to improve in game 2.

Get "The Rocket" in.





To be fair he wasn't brilliant for Lancashire either.

Thought the Senior twins did a lot of work up the middle actually helping the forwards out. Admittedly one dropped a pass with line open but in the main I thought they did a decent job for the team

I Agree, they also nullified the aerial threat from kicks. for me the team stays the same bar injuries.

I thought Wakefield and Castleford were allegedly good at producing players, not a single one in the squad between them. The same with Warrington and Salford.

Warrington poach other teams youngsters then ruin them

McClelland, Johnson and Trout are all from Cas and Wakefield.

From that area yes, but not products of those clubs. I remember under licenceing and Cas fans trying to claim Rob Burrow was a Castleford product.

Well.....McClelland was at Castleford before leaving for Scotland RU

True, but that was two years ago.
