A fantastic victory last night by the England boys and thoroughly deserved too

AS has already been mentioned, there is a very talented group of young players coming through and not only at the Rhinos but also at all of the other clubs too which bodes well for our game.

IMO England's defence won the game and our pack were far better than the Aussie forwards,They never really looked capable of breaking us down.

Tom Holroyd was my stand out player.

If I was looking to bring in junior talent into the Rhinos then I would be very interested in Oliver Wilson (Bulls) and Sam Walters (Widnes) especially with them both not being already at clubs in SL

It's a horrible situation for Widnes to be in ATM and I hope that they can find a way out of the mess they are in.
IMO Sam Walters is the only player I would be willing to make a move for if the vultures come circling and bills need paying at the club,he's a fantastic junior prospect

19s are at Bishop Burton College Saturday at 12pm v Hull if anyone fancies going and watching a good set of kids. Nice set up at Bishop Burton. I'm gonna go over.

A young 19s team losing 24-10 at HT v City of Academy who have a much older team starting and raced into a 24-0 lead.

Harry Gregoriou looks to have sustained a knee injury unfortunately.

Who is looking useful today Marty?

Holroyd did full 80. Dupree and Trout made an impact but other than those it was a young team but they stuck at it and if young Joe Burton hadn't dropped it going over at the death team might have snatched a draw. Lost 34-28 in end. Only a friendly tho. 1st game on Thursday at home to Wakey.

The right winger scored 2 beauties today Leeds.

Do you know who our try scorers were Marty? Cheers

Difficult cos I didn't have a team sheet but I believe Delaney was 11 and scored the 1st try, the right winger Tindall got 3 including a 90 yarder, Tyler Dupree from a lovely set play using Holroyd as a decoy. Markland on left wing and I'm missing one I can't remember. It's was a young team missing several who will be playing Thursday. Team was mainly last year's 16s to give then a run out.

Funnily enough Leeds Utd under 18s was playing Hull on the pitch near the changing rooms at Bishop Burton and won 1-0 I believe.

Brilliant, cheers. Tindalls the best wing talent we'v had in years imo, big powerful lad with great movement skills, good to see him doing well. Looking at the Hull try scorers, it looks like they had all there big guns playing so this was a very impressive result for a team with 9 first years in the squad. Exciting times.

Yes I've liked what I've seen of Tindall so far. Lewis Delaney has also impressed me.
It's looking very positive, I think in a few years we'll have some established first graders from recent Academy intakes, sprinkled with some Marquee magic and that's your winning formula.

Couldnt agree more, looks like the club agree now too which is good to see, no need to waste cap and squad places on your walters, ormndroyds and mullallys when theres talent coming through like we have. Its win win...the youngsters get a clear path way to the first team and we free up cap to bring real quality in.

Im also a big fan of delaney, think out pack at 19s this season will be fantastic, we probably wont play our strongest pack all throughout the season but if and when we do it could be frightening

8.Holroyd
9.Johnson
10.Dupree
11.Trout
12.Martin
13.Mcconnell

14.Burton (Oli)
15.Moorehouse
16.Mustapha
17.Delaney

Im expecting big things from Moorhouse and Martin this season in there 2nd years.
