is this old?

Tommy Lee is 20

Yep, 30th Nov 2007 going by the date of the first post.

It's last year's list, before Westerman had appeared in Superleague.

Bang on the money, I was wondering how Ben Harrison was above Joe westerman for a start

But as said - there may be one or two exceptions in SL - But the rest should be filled with NRL players - There league is so far in front of ours - and so is there youth development

Kallum Watkins should be in there.

Craig Hall's 20 FFS, he's the same age as me...not Nine TEEN, TWENTY!

This list was produced a while back it is not a recent thing so is it not possible he could have been 19 at the time it was being done?

This list is a bit of a mish mash anyway, i applaud those that have attempted to do it but it is a very very difficult thing to do especially with players who have had little or no exposure to first team rugby.

I would say there are some glaring omissions from the Academy and Reserve ranks in the UK, that are far superior prospects to those that have made it.

I think it is easy to attempt to rank a top 10 maybe even 20 after this point realistically it becomes a very very big ask indeed.

It's always better to read a thread before posting as maybe, just maybe, your point has already been answered previously, saving yourself from looking a little daft.

Tommy Lee above Mitchell Pearce

F*ck knows how Craig Hall is one of the top 10 teenagers in League, unless they put the 50 names in a hat...

Wasn't this done at the start of the year, or something similar?

Thought Richie Myler, the 19yr old England scrum half, might have got a look in.

When that list was produced he'd only played a handful of sub appearances for Widnes and had some junior rep honours- but it's interesting that the compilers of the list managed to completely miss him on the horizon despite scoring a hat trick in a junior rep match about a year ago. If I'm correct I think he's only 18, I'm sure he was 17 for about the first third of the season.

And as one of them is Tommy Lee this lists credibility is zero.

The 2008 version is just a month away...

why? last year when the list was put together he was nominated for young player of the year, he also has English Schools and England Under-17 honours and at a realitivly young age had alot of first team appearences in the super league.

Who the hell had the time and energy to pull this back out

last years was compiled partly by a regullar poster on here, assume they will be doing it again.

This list relates to the 2007 season though, when he got to the final 3 in the Super League Young Player of the Year, missing out to Sam Burgess.

The irony of a Rovers supporter criticising a list of top teenage RL talent is priceless though. Don't you have just one teenager in your squad who made 3 appearances this season?

The only Leeds player named is one who currently hasn't even had a debut. Surely Watkins would be above him among with a fair few others.

Ok just realised its old. Ignore me please.

Neither Hull team should talk about junior players. You might have a few of your own in your SL teams but all of them are complete sh*t.

Burgess would tw&t him.

HTH

Isn't good enough for the top 50 anyway..

Be interesting to see if Kyle Eastmond moves up as he was pretty high in last years.

It was back when people thought Penny was good.
