6-32 after 62 minutes. More of the same 2nd half. Leeds look so small compared to Hudds. Spence, McConnell, Whitton and Martin have tried hard, but most of the rest have really struggled, as you'd expect given their ages. It's like watching 'men' against boys.

Jarrad o'connor having an absolute shocker for us. We'v been really poor, very young team though so dont want to be too critical.

Very inexperienced team but you are right O'Connor was truly dreadful. He couldn't do anything right at all, hopefully just one of those days and not his usual standard.

Hudds too good today. 8, 13 and young massive centre outstanding for them.

13 is18yr old Ross whitmore, he’s on fringes of first team- 8 is a young lad called Ronan Michael, who paid his own way over from Ireland to join hudds last year. I suspect the centre you mean is Dom Young, big lad with short dreadlocks. Big, Strong, and skilful but not a real rugby brain.
I’m was surprised by that score as when I saw the team sheet I could see we had a few youngsters in. We do have a few who have full team experience though.

Too big and strong for us today, all over the park, you were well worth the scoreline. You's have signed a good one in Oliver Wilson, wasnt his biggest test today against a depleated Leeds pack, but he's a cracking player.

Cheers yes I was talking to Ross' mum at the game, not the biggest but ru s hard. The prop was the best player on the park for me today.

Hidds did well and deserved the big win against a depleted and young Leeds team

We were poor today we looked like we didn't really know what we were doing. A lot of players missing for us.We will bounce back i'm sure.

Really sloppy first 40 for Leeds against Wigan.

Re: 2019 l Academy U19s : Sun Apr 28, 2019 1:24 pm  

Much better 2nd half, they cut the errors and penalties out, and to come back from 12-0 down with injuries to McClellend and Johnson was a huge effort.

Muzz was man of the match IMO. He's definitely ready to play at a higher level. His defence is outstanding. Dupree also played well again and must be getting close to being given a chance.

Harvey Spence also played well I thought. Really good kicking game.

Re: 2019 l Academy U19s : Sun Apr 28, 2019 4:18 pm  

Not sure what Muizz has to do to get a Super League call up. Hes tremendous.

Broadbent, Dupree and Spence all good.

Great effort under the circumstances.
