Today (2nd March at Wigan), young JORDAN CROWTHER made Trinity history by becoming the youngest forward to ever play for Trinity. At 17 years and 11 days he beat the previous record of the great Don Robinson by 9 months.

The top 7 youngest ever players to play for Trinity are....

1. Richard Goddard (1990)... 16yrs & 3 months
2. Ernest Pollard (1927)... 16yrs & 4 months
3. Ken Hirst (1956)... 16yrs & 6 months
4. Bob Oliver (1936)... 16yrs & 6 months
5. Neil Fox (1956)... 16yrs & 11 months
5. Nigel Wright (1990)... 16yrs & 11 months (equal)
7. Jordan Crowther (2014)... 17yrs & 11 days

I hope his career follows a similar route to most of them.

How did he get on?

Played last 30 mins,I thought he did ok.took a couple of hits but kept hold if the ball.Hardest rugby he's ever played,and tired now were his comments when asked.

very brave

I thought he did well when he came on
ran some good lines and despite copping a couple of big hits he still managed a quick play the ball. Tackled well and did a couple of doubles against some of Wigans big fellas. Jordy does many things very well but best of all is his exemplary attitude, with a bit more size which will come as he gets older he'll have a good chance of a superb career

An illustrious list. Hopefully, Jordan can emulate their feats for Trinity. Apparently Jordan is the first player to appear in superleague who was born since its formation (good quiz question!).
