I also went to watch the Junior acadamy on Saturday and was very impressed. Don't know the names but the stand-outs for me were the full back, the blonde haired winger, the prop ( and the 2 second rows who must have made 30 takles a piece. Loose forward i though was good in defence but would like to see him link up more in attack. Number 7 was good for 20mins then got a good thump and never saw him involved again. Reserve my judgement on him if he goes quiet after every knock thats won't be good.
Overall first class performance and worth a watch next week at home to Huddersfield i believe.

To be fair on the 7 (O'Brien) he got 'filled in' good style putting a kick up and the way the physio was signalling it was the end of the match for him, but fair do's he eventually got up and played the ball and then went on to play for another hour..... a tough hombre I'd say!

To be fair to you Fletch I've seen him play through service area down the years but what really opened my eyes was when he totally ran the show for the reserves when we panned Leeds a few weeks back....given a clean bill of health he could be very very good indeed.
