I know one is going to Wigan and I think he's one of the two standout players you mention.

Do my head in Wigan. Keep coming over here and picking up one or two each season. Not sure how the parents do the travel.

To be fair, you could say the same about Leeds picking up the likes of Watkins and Singleton.

Not really, as Watkins was a one off, and Singleton was from the Cumbrian academy that everyone had dibs on. Wigan are doing it each year, East Leeds lads and Stanley Rangers lads, now Kippax.

Not Wigan area. And like I said, one offs. Wigan are taking players each and every year from this local area. Like I said do's my head in.

Gotcha I have watched all the 16s games and my son plays under 15s so pretty much have seen all the players in Div 1 of the Yorkshire league, I would say the only real stand out player imho whom Wigan got over Leeds is Morgan Smithies.
Leeds managed to get pretty much everyone they went for inc poaching players from Lock Lane from under Cas noses and if anyone hasn't been to see the 16s play yet really should, This team beat the apparently unbeatable Warrington U16s pretty convincingly this with I think 8 Under 15s in the team.

Fixture to defiantly go to for me is the next one Leeds V Cas I think is at Headingley a week on Wednesday

Ive seen plenty of our U16's and they are potentially another very good batch in particular Tommy Holdroyd Kieden Hartley Owen Trout & a 9/Centre who's names escape me at this moment.

Not sure what you mean in the bold bit but if I understand correctly the 2 in the centre are Jack Broadbent ( u15 ) and Harry Newman ( u16) the 2 Hookers are Corey Johnson (u15 ) and Eddie Wilcox ( u16 )

The Cas fixture is showing as 19:00 at Stanningley but I was under the impression it was to be played at Headingley
