does anyone know anything about young jack reed, born in airedale and currently playing for brisbane broncos, apparently scored a very good try at the weekend.

jack was born 15 july 1988 in airedale, emigrated to australia and is a plasterer by trade, he was playing with canberra raiders feeder club, but did not make 1st grade, and was spotted by some one from the broncos, and is now making a name in their 1st grade, and is well liked by darren lockyer, and the rest of the club, so well done to the lad, and he was on the verge of signing for a co-op championship team, before his luck changed.

i would have said if it says born in airdale they will be reffering to airdale general hospital near keighley not airdale castleford.

According to Wiki he was born in Castleford.

airedale, castleford thats why was wanting to know if anyone knew of the family

jungleman I asked the same on casforum last week and no one knows there either.

if you just type in the name jack reed, it will show, jack reed, brisbane, click on to that and quite a bit of info comes up about him.

Mentioned in The Guardian a couple of weeks ago that he's Cas-born.

I'm sure the Hull KR fans will take credit for his development.

Don't you mean Wakefield? They lay claim to everybody else that is a youngster either from Cas or playing for Cas.

I dunno, I think the East Hull born, bred, trained Liam Watts might have something to say about that

Nah, we trained him as well.
