Deduct two points from the first team for every reserve fixture you can't get a team for

Balmforth just shown nice touches at start of 2nd half and put Staveley in for a simple try.

Balmforth showing up well as he creates a try for himself with some quick play.

I thought that Staveley and Balmforth were Newcastle's best tonight. Staveley looks Super League ready to me. Balmforth maybe needs a little more work from a physical point of view because Super League sides would make him work defensively but he is really really talented. He'll explode into the stage when he's ready.

Would agree with that as I thought Balmforth made the difference when he came on. He seems very Dwyer like in terms of speed that he plays but has more control to his game in distribution and passing. Staveley certainly looking the part and progressing

Was Staveley playing centre again?

Not sure that would be his position in SL?

Looked to me he was playing 2nd row on the right hand side.

If he is staying I'd be looking at giving Balmforth a few games, he could do the 20/30 minutes Dywer does.

Think like Taylor, Staverley will start in the 2nd row and end us as a prop.

Hoy, Trueman, Clifford have to be our 1,6,7 but Litten pushing and Macca decent cover
