ive not had much chance to watch the under 18s and under 20s this season was wondering if anyone could fill me in on the players who have shone this season?

Lots of them!

Apart from the ones who have already featured in the first team, I'd say Thornley (sadly leaving), Crosby, King, Russell, Burke, Malloy.

In terms of long-term potential, if I had to pick the one most likely to succeed, it would be Greg Burke. For such a young lad (I think he's still only 17), he's stepped up to U20's level with ease, and will be a prime candidate for dual reg next year.

Apologies to any I may have left out! They've nearly all looked good!

Slight disappointments would be Howarth & Veivers, who haven't improved as I expected.

Also hoping to see Joe Mellor come back unaffected by his injury.

no mention of logan tomkins as he gone quiet?

Didn't he win the Player of the Season award on Friday night?

He did.

Matt Russell won the U20's POTY award.

And he still qualifies at U18.
Dom Crosby has been the real "bolter" for me this season. He has come from nowhere and really impressed.

Sounds like Josh Charnley. It just goes to prove that talent isn't always everything. Hard work and sheer determination will get you far.

Half our 'academy' so to speak have been either in our first team or out on dual registration.

Not really sure about Logan - he has some excellent games, but others he seems to disappear. Not ready yet, IMO...whether he will be, only time will tell.

He's 19 now, and much as I'd love to see all three of them in the side, he needs a special season next year to prove he's worth keeping.
