So many jokes if/when this kid makes it.

I remember a while back the club were in discussions with 8 academy players, was he the eighth? I apologise for digressing from the good news of the 7 lads signing up. Hopefully the club will get this news on superleague.com and the television text services.

I considered posting to ask who wasn't on this list too, but thought it might seem a little negative.

From what I've seen of Annekin (only 3 games) he's an odd one to predict if/how he'll progress. He looks very good in his age group and is a big lad for his age in terms of build, but he isn't the tallest for a back rower.

He was referred to as part-time time when we called him up to play KR, etc and I can't remember hearing he'd been signed on.

BTW, did you lay off any of that bet on final?

That for me is the one notable absentee from the list.
Hope were still in negotitation.

However, we've got to be realistic and with our budget we cant expect to keep them all, as certain nearby clubs like nicking our talent.

And an academy table topping side wont go unnoticed by the blood hounds.

Agreed. Whilst obviously he has a long way to go to being Superleague standard week in, week out, he has been explosive in the academy matches and I hope we get him signed up.

But even without him, this is fantastic news for the club and they should be congratulated on a job very well done all round.

Agree.
As should every one of the SQUADBUILDER contributees(have I just made up a new word in the English language), as I believe we (about 80 regulars plus contributors every now and again) have assisted in the retention of these future Trinity stars.

Then very well done to Squadbuilder and all the contributees (yes its a word) to TRY.

Anyone have details/a form to sign up for TRY? I never got involved before but with a change of circumstances I now can
