Just seen the highlights.

Dupree looks like he's benefitted from his spell at York, he plays with good aggression and he's a physical thing isn't he?

Johnson as usual just controls and probes, looks like he has all the time.

Stephens I have hopes for over the next couple of years. I'm not sure what his best position is yet: wing maybe or maybe in at 7. Reminds me a bit of Burrow with his pace of the mark and footwork.

Tindall always looks strong, and I often think Whitton has something about him, often under the radar I know but he runs well.

Walters has all the attributes but just needs to fill out a bit - he'll be some player when he does.

There are quite a few here I'd like to see given a chance in the first team next year - I guess they'll flog them and then have a good look at a few in the pre-season friendlies.

If they arent in the 1st team or on loan next year the reserves should be a reasonable comp for them to develop in.
Its big 2/3 years for our Acadamy lads we have a lot of potential stars amongst them & they'll need Coaching properly & chances in the 1st team to prove themselves.

Leeds reserve team will be half Leeds and half Fev players and we will still be using Fev for dual reg.

Yes. Apparantly Leeds will choose which players will go to Fev on dual reg then select which Leeds players will play 19s that week and Fev players will fill in the gaps.

From my understanding the reserve competition will also be split into regions of Yorkshire and Lancashire also so I dont think there will be many games for the reserves. This however is up for debate at a meeting later this week.

Currently Saints 8 Leeds 6 in playoff semi. Walters and Trout going well but Saints are the better team and Welsby is too good

Re: 2019 l Academy U19s : Thu Sep 12, 2019 7:17 pm  

14-6 HT. Too many missing men I'm afraid.

Losing Iwan Stephens after 10 mins hasnt helped either

Re: 2019 l Academy U19s : Thu Sep 12, 2019 7:49 pm  

24-10 currently. Welsby a class apart

Re: 2019 l Academy U19s : Thu Sep 12, 2019 8:19 pm  

34-10.

It’s still been a good season for the boys. People will see this result but actually there have been a number of successful graduates throughout the year.

Be very interesting to see how next year’s team goes.
