Saints 10-10 FC at half time.

All Bo Dereked up at the break.

Saints & Wigan our main rivals to win this comp. Haven't gone today, but that's a good showing at HT for us.

Saints winning 22-18 with 20 minutes to go.

Finished 30-18 to Saints.

Not bad given who we're missing.

Not too shabby. Think they finished top?

That's right, Mrs B. On points difference from Wigan.

Top seven after the first phase of the season was

Saints 22pts +264
Wigan 22 +218
Hull FC 18 +210
Warrington 18 +47
Hull KR 14 +22
Cas 14 +2
Leeds 12 -15

Points carried over to phase two which started last weekend. It's home and away now with the top four then playing off for the Championship.

Lost the first game on the season, not lost since, got hammered by them at home a few weeks ago, we had a few players out also.

You put Lancaster, Turgut and Abdul in that team and it's a different story.

could saints make a similar case though?

I can't remember the rules of who qualifies for u19s (is it still anyone whose 19 on the 1/1 that year?)

Richards Savelio and Thompson still all qualify I think (they would if the above is correct) - 83 first team appearances between them

I'm sure they're a year too old now, they're the year above the likes of Davies, Hewitt, Ryan etc. There's only Fleming who's played more than 1 game for us who is still eligible for the u19s.

Just looked the rules up ...



Now, I'm not good at speaking gobbledegook, but I [ithink[/i it means that's players who were u19 in August the year before are eligible ... But that's only a guess!

If I've misinterpreted then yes, Savelio, Richards (who is still 19 so I'd be confused as to how he didn't qualify!) and Thompson are the year above so my apologies

Jack Brown, Robbie Storey and Callum Tranmer have been selected for the England Under 15's squad to face Wales in August.

Brilliant young prospects along with Adam Rooks from kr, (4 in the 20 man squad from hull area)

Really pleased for these lads Callum tranmer and jack brown in particular have been stand outs for the last 5 years at this age group.

I'm not sure how the squad is picked but a few more lads in hull and castleford can count themselves very unlucky to miss out this time. How on earth Wigan have managed to get 5 lads in is beyond me. 1 of which isn't even the best forward in his club team yet alone before lads that have had productive scholarship years.

Your not wrong there about some of the players that haven't been picked it's baffling. The 3 Hull players are quality though

Big win away at warrington 16-38, 2 try's for Logan and Lancaster (first game in two months).

Great win. We stay third and it moves us six points clear of Leeds who are in fifth (seven in effect given our vastly superior points difference). Looking good for the top four play offs.

Great effort from the lads , Well done .

Excellent. Is the table online anywhere - RFL one looks frozen at 12 games?

Not sure, Mrs B. It's printed every week in League Express though.

Cheers both. The Saints one looks like it doesn't include today's result which was an important one. What's the deal in this phase? Think we've played three games. Are there another three to go or another 9, ie do we play the top 7 just at home or home and away?

Home and away... www.hullfc.com/u19/matches

Home and away... www.hullfc.com/u19/matches

Top seven palay each other home and away, I believe, with the play offs around September.
