crossley, o brien and aisncough are injured are they not?
also no point wasting burgess when we are waiting on scrutes back and hargreaves is not likely to be fit for a while. id give john murphy a run -watched him on saturday and was impressed.

Ainscough is back isn't he :/ Didn't realise Crossley and O'Brien were out.

only just running I think.
o brien missed england on friday night and crossley didnt play on sat!

Ah didn't see the Under 20's team, thought O'Brien was just left out but obv not.

anyone wanting to know scores follow mick gledhill on twitter. he's commentating and is gonna tweet ht and tf scores.

we any idea of squad yet?

kyle williams,lewis straughn,sam wood,rob hawthorne,tom lilycrop,jobe murphy,ryan laycock

glad jobe is in! watched him at weekend spoke to his dad was convinced he said jobe but when i looked in league express it said john so assumed i was going deaf and senial again.
young omari cari looked good though!

The powerplay is one crazy rule.

I won't say too much about it because you have to see it in action to understand where I'm coming from.

think we might need a 9's thread merge

Here is a quick scan of the rules the RFL sent me:





Like I said in the commentary last night the powerplay is a fantastic innovation.

Get it in Super League.

Enjoyed it last week, not sure I'll make it this week. Peter fox was the only senior player last week, was made to look pretty ordinary at times.

Hopefully going to this tonight (If the weather stays nice).

Don't forget people £6 for six live games

You commentating Gleds or just going for the watch ??

Vinny Finnigan has just provided the most comical moment in the short history of 9s.

Had messers Whitehead, Elima and Ah Van in stitches

What happened?

Hooter had gone, bulls trailed by 5. Scrambling to keep ball alive and he practically punted it into touch!

Kyle Briggs not featured at all btw.

Was the highlight of the night, and a bit dumb ha ha considering he stood there like a lemon not knowing what to do although there was a gaping 20 metre gap right in front of him to run through

Comical indeed !!!

Any comment on the perfromances, who impressed, who didn't and who couldn't give a damn. Apparently some of the attitude of the attitude didn't sound so good. Id i was an U20's player i would see this as a stepping stone into breaking into the first team. But if the attitude isn't all that good, then Barrow and Medley have to be held accountable because the U20's results have been patheitc, and a lot of them are full time.

Halley had 1 little good jinking run, dont think he'll be here next season

Sykes made a few good plays but looked same old self ie. passing ball straight into touch a few times, along with numerous forward passes, lucky to have lready re-signed IMO

Finnigan made a few good break but was easily catchable by all opposite numbers.

Lewis Straughn looks promising, and the guy who played number 12 whos name has evaded me looks like a young nick scruton with potential of being a future star

Really enjoyed watching the Feth and Cas lads but we were dull and Fax were even duller.

We were pretty poor in all honesty, we didn't seem to adapt to playing 9's very well at all. Cas looked very quick and played some good stuff.

Sykes did some good stuff and some not so good. Halley didn't stand out much. Don't know if it was just me, but Halley looked to have lost a bit of pace and was blowing quite a lot. Finnigan looked lively and appears to have bulked up a bit.
