| We seem to have an excellent crop of youngsters coming through now and Francis is introducing them to the environment very well. Yes tonight we were playing a understrength Giants side, they still had some experience in there though, but opposition aside and in general, our young lads have stood up really well this season when they've been asked upon. Danny Addy seems to becoming of age and with some finishing touches Imo has the potential to be the best player at the club. Olbison is another that needs a but of work on the defensive side, but he's also another that could go along way. Really impressed with the rookies today, Mellor, Wood, Naughton and Conroy, all made big contributions to the game. How good was Naughtons return of the ball. Haven't seen that sort of pace at the back for a long time, a bit more upper body strength and he's going to be busting tackles and getting us on the front foot. Conroy also showed quality vision and pace from dummy half too. I'm very excited about the next five years.

| I was very impressed with Naughton. He is very quick and can bust through tackles.

| I thought Naughton was very impressive tonight. I think our replacement for Lulia will be very important, lets hope we've got a decent replacement signed up.

| Kearney, L'Estrange, Diskin. Today was a warning, none of you have a guaranteed spot. O'Brien and Naughton are breathing down your necks and tonight's game showed they are banging on the first team door and deserve both recognition and opportunity for continued first team game time

| I wasn't that impressed with Obrien. He is tenacious, but his distribution is laboured. I thought Conroy showed better vision and passing.

| Generally agree with B4C, including about Addy and Olbison.
Thought Ben Evans showed enough to think that a big pre-season will see him improve massively. Love to see us make another Carvell type signing.

| I thought both O'brien and Conroy showed showed more than Diskin.
I like the guy, but his pace is gone, he barely runs from dummy half and 12 months from now isn't going to be any prettier.
Good move by FC to give Conroy a game though. Thinking he was 4th choice all next year wouldn't be good, least he's had a taste in a good win.

| Conroy will probably know he's going to be 4th choice next season, unless he gets his nose in front of OB. I mean he's only been a full time pro for what 12 weeks and he's already made his debut. But it's not going to be for to long, probably 2015 and hes going to be 3rd choice, year after that who knows?

| Yeah he'll know, just thought it was good move and hopefully inspire the academy to work hard.
I'd like to think juniors know if they decide to sign for the Bulls, they'll get a crack and the squad smaller gives them the opportunities. Look at Liam McAvoy, would have got game time instead of Fairbank this year. Now he's being released by Leeds.

| Extremely impressed with Naughton today. Ran the ball in hard and didn't look to bad under pressure from the high ball. I seem to remember he only made one mistake whilst defending the line. I also thought that Addy showed why we signed him up on a new deal.
Good way to finish a rather disappointing season.

| He always looked on the small side to me. But he would have probably got a game this year as you say. Glad we didn't sign that Fairbank though.

| Yeh agree, Evans is 3 years younger and looks a lot better. Has next years loan being announced yet??

Naughton is a cracking prospect.

| Apparently come from Evans himself. But not from the club. Hope it's true, got the making of a good player imo. Would have liked to seen a 2 year deal for him.

| Just posted some 'ages of players' of the Huddersfield forum.
I thought I'd repost it, because I was surprised myself. They were laughing at the Bulls 'young guns' article.
But it was a young team. Just because they have being around a while, it feels like they are older than what they are.
Kyle Wood - 24
Jacob Fairbank - 23
James Cording - 23
Anthony Mullally - 22
Matty Dawson - 22
Nathan Mason - 20
Peter Aspinall - 19
Elliot Kear - 24
Danny Addy - 22
Tom Olbison - 22
James Donaldson - 21
Ben Evans - 20
Adam O'Brien - 20
Sam Wood - 19
Alex Mellor - 18
Nathan Conroy - 18 (Debut)
Curtis Naughton - 18 (Debut)
Bateman - 20 (didn't play but is first choice)
Good young squad! Players breaking through with lots of years in them.

| Is the rumour about Evans a perm signing or extension of loan?
Thought all the young lads looked good, really pleased with yesterday's game for many reasons, Addy, Naughton, Kear all played really well.
The futures bright !

| Lots of potential on display for both clubs. It was a good way to end the season for us given we missed out on the play offs.
I've always thought Naughton had something special, he stood out in the U18s and with a bit more strength will stand out in the 1st team. I like the look of Mellor and Conroy too.

| It was a great exhibition for the young guns of RL on both sides. Plenty of debuts and young lads given the chance to get some experience! On the evidence there could be a few of them on both the Bulls and Giants sides pushing for contention in a few seasons.
On a side note I thought it was interesting that the Giants fielded such a changed side, if I was an away supporter paying £20 and travelling to the game I would have been a little disappointed that the Giants had pretty much written off the game but I am glad we took it serious and put them to the sword.
Obviously they took it as an opportunity to rest a few for the playoff push and I honest say good luck to them, I am going to the GF and I honestly hope the Giants make it since it would be a breath of fresh air

| Let's not forget about Oliver Roberts too, arguably our best prospect from the academy.

| I actually thought that Kear played well in the full-back role when we were attacking, when Naughton shifted to the wing.

Agreed, I'd much rather Kear at FB than Foster.
Was really really impressed with Naughton. Looked good under high ball, ran the ball back strongly and looks to have some real pace.
