I know players from the current u19s have already been told if they are going to Australia, i'm not sure if they current u16s who sign contracts will be going as they go in October or November.

The current u16s have been told if they are going to Australia, I know a number of them are going. They are also having meetings this week and next to find out who will be offered contracts.

All the lads who are going on tour were in the Lake District last weekend doing some team building exercises, etc. Surely all the current u16s who are going to Australia will be given contracts and so will be with us next season?

From what I have seen of this current group of players, the future is certainly looking bright.

Yes I believe they have. I'm not sure on names yet, I'll try and find out though

Lewis Fairhurst been called up to the latest England junior squad and he as also signed a professional deal with Saints and will travel to OZ. Congrats!
