Agree with you. To be fair I thought Thunder were pretty big and physical, better than I thought but the overall bar wasn't very high (I'm sure with mitigation).

Interested in your comments re. Mayhew - not big enough Marty? I really like him - he is smart and has a brilliant engine.

Age-wise we seem to have a real concentration at U17 level, where we have a very handy set of players indeed.

I like Mayhew hes brave and whole-hearted and he works hard. Hows he going to get past all the players in front of him tho? He is a bit under sized same with Billy Davies, who i really like also.

Walker just comes across so poor in his interviews.

Chev is fine but there are several issues with the 19s at the moment. Firstly we released many of the older lads so its a very young team, the better players are in the full time squad, which is a good thing if they are available, but they currently arent. They are playing a game every 3 weeks which is crackers and the team has zero half backs.

Got my doubts on Chev tbh, His Focus points and messages in his interviews are baffling and it shows on the field imo.

Between now and August tge 19s hsve 2 games. Theyve played 2 in the last 7 weeks. Its crazy.

I hope walkers interviews arent a reflection of his coaching. In the mould of certain other past appointments I'll make a prediction that's hes around a few years before exploring another line of work.

Anyone know why the 19's game scheduled with Warrington yesterday didnt get played?

Interesting to note the 2nd rower from London that had a great game v our academy has been selected for Yorkshire, Euan Parke. If he plays every week like he played against Leeds he is someone we should be monitoring.
