Nice to hear Agar's comments on some academy lads in his press conference.

Muizz won’t be getting any minutes if he’s found guilty of grace D dangerous throw as he’s been charged.

Re: 2019 l Academy U19s : Thu Jun 13, 2019 8:22 pm  

It would be a shame for the game if Muizz doesn't make it in the first team but I'm still unsure how a lad of 5ft 8 and currently 89kg could ever play prop in a SL that's unfortunately dominated by wrestle. All credit to him if his obvious desire and ability prevails.

Sorry only just seen this.

From memory, Johnson was the most impressive of the Leeds youngsters (created one really good try), though I don't think Trout was on for that long. It's a big ask for a young half like McLelland to come into a good-quality Championship game such as Widnes v Fev and stand out, he went ok without really shining.

Wellington Albert played very well, though his size and offloading ability are always going to make him a handful against Championship opposition.

Cheers for that. hope Johnson gets a few more chances.
Think Albert may get a game v Wigan.

Its interesting re McLelland isn't it. He doesn't seem to be setting the world on fire but the things he does well are things some supposed future star halfbacks never develop - tackling, being organised etc.

Re Mustapha, there's no reason he can't make be a 13 in the modern game if he puts on 5-10 kilos and can translate his physical style to open age. You always need big forwards, but we all know big lads who play nowhere near their weight and smaller forwards (e.g. Bateman) who play well above theirs.

Muizz is currently the strongest player at the club, he lifts more than anyone I'm told. His problem is that he is too strong for the 19s and can throw them around like rag dolls which is fun to watch however when it goes wrong it can be dangerous. The tackle at Wigan that he got binned for wasnt pretty. He had a major problem last year with similar offences and kept getting carded.

He plays the game violently in attack and defence. He hits hard and runs as hard as he can. The kid is really good to watch.

Yes never seen him back off anything on the field. He has time to develop. The kind of player you want in your team and a PITA for opposition.

Jack Broadbent - Batley Bulldogs - one month loan

Re: 2019 l Academy U19s : Mon Jun 17, 2019 1:44 pm  

Muizz's has been stopped at the moment pending a ban however once the ban is up Thunder seem happy to start to loan then.

Re: 2019 l Academy U19s : Sat Jun 22, 2019 11:43 am  

19s currently 24-12 up at HT at Wakey.

Tindall with a 70m try, Stephens, McLelland and Moorhouse with the tries.

Very sloppy around the ruck tho and Wakey 9 is very lively.

Muizz got a 4 game ban for those that haven't seen it.
