His height is an issue but hes a terrific explosive athlete he has a high leap and seems to catch every ball that kicked at him.

Many a time this year I've thought he was in trouble and has caught virtually every ball. Hes a good finisher too. One of tries at Warrington a couple of weeks ago was absolutely spectacular.

As Matt says hes a 1st year player and a really good one. Hes not ready for the step up yet but hes going really well at the moment and developing really nicely.

Good win for the 19's today...22 - 10 away at Huddersfield. 8 first years in the squad.

Bit of a flat performance tho I thought Matt.

Wasnt there Marty, so cant comment on the performance, happy with the result though, thought we'd struggle there today. Any individual performances stand out for us?

Iwan Stephens had a strong game, Corey was Corey always good, Markland sharp in centre in 1st half.

Team had no depth and Hudds was able to close us down too quickly.

Team is missing some quality players but found a win.

That’s fair enough I guess given the talent which is out on loan at the moment. Although could we say the same about Hudds with a few U19s qualified players in their first team? We got touched up by them last time out so good result either way.

See Burrow mentioned Sam Moorhouse for praise after the last two games, really hope theres a change of heart and the club keep hold of him and Brad Martin, we'v got better players in there positions right now but things can change at that age. To me theyr both capable of being good players in future.

I think a lot hangs on the reserve comp and how we will use it. IMO it should be used for giving those kids who are just over age for the 18’s a chance to kick on, players coming back from injury, and those in the 1st team squad who are out of form or need game time

McLelland is getting better. Broadbent is a super prospect
