Hull KR

Will Oakes(wing) - played a handful of 1st team games but needs to learn from his mistakes.
Elliot Wallis(Wing) - Again played a couple of games for the 1st team, Looks a good prospect
Mikey Lewis(HB) - Along with Connor Wynne at Hull FC, he is an outstanding prospect signed by Hull KR from the joint academy. Him and Wynne were the best 2 players for the Academy.

How olf is Will Oaks? I'm assuming he's the one that used to be in Wakefields Academy - and that seems a long time ago.

You can add Kershaw to that though it would take one hell of an injury crisis fir a winger to get a break at Wakefield these days. Like the look of Yusif Adin but early days.

Good point.

I didn't comment on Kershaw as I haven't seen too much of him but looks to have settled in well with the squad (going from Instagram and social media), the lads really seem to have taken well to him. Adin looks a big lad as well.

Hope to see them feature in the preseason, perhaps Boxing Day! Which seems to be approaching rapidly lol!

Yeah, he's still just 19, which for me is pretty scary because it seems ages ago since I used to watch him play down Eastmoor but it's only about 5 years ago.

Widnes

Ollie Ashall(full back): Broke into the first team last season and looks to have cemented his place at FB#
Owen Buckley(winger): Made a handful of appearances on the wing impressing every time
Ryan Ince(winger): Has played for a season or two on the wing , signed on again for next season.
Joe Lyons(stand off): Stepped in at stand off in the middle 8's producing some good performances.
Ted and Jay Chapelhow(Prop): Both 22 or 23 but have been regulars in the Widnes team since coming through
Owen Farnwroth (Prop): Made a couple of appearances but looks very handy for his age


There are 4-5 others who are stepping up this year aswell as Danny Craven and Tom Gilmore who came through the academy but are now 25


We have a wealth of good talent coming through at Widnes but they need support around them and quality which we've struggled with massively.

Been reading this forum for a couple of months now and I know there was a Widnes fan a while back who couldn't speak highly enough about Ted and Jay Chapelhow.

They’re okay and will make it for Widnes in the championship. Unsure about superleague.

If he stays fit, the one who stands out is Ollie Ashall Bott

Harry Newman at Leeds is one to watch. I could see him playing for England.
