Harry Newman has had a great start at Fev. he's scored a hat trick for Fev in the first half.

I saw Harry Newman score those 3 tries on the Fev highlights, he has good balance and size for an 18yo. Very promising player.

Brad martin in the squad for the 19's game with newcastle at the weekend. Anybody know if jack broadbents injured?

19's won 66 - 6 at newcastle today, scored 13 trys, missed a lot of conversions

Newman had another blinder for Fev today.

He's doing brilliantly, super talent. Is there anywhere to see highlights of his trys other than subscribing to fev tv?

Poor ol' Newcastle didn't know what hit them, with that beast of a forward pack on a roll.
I'd love to see Holroyd, Trout & Martin etc really tested to see where they're at, send them on Australian tour similar to what St Helens do every 2nd year.

Agreed. The packs looked fantastic this season. Martins footwork for his try at Newcastle was very nice, really does remind me of simon houghton, Holroyd looks an absolute monster,huge, athletic and skillful, trout looks great in the second row, again, big, athletic and runs great lines. Im very impressed with mcconnell and dupree also. Credit to burrow aswel, he's idintified the strength of the team and is utilizeing it very well, which sounds simple but its amazing how many coaches struggle to do it, bodes well for his future in coaching, the difference in how well drilled and structured the 19's look this year compared to last under morley is night and day imo.

What fixtures have the england academy got lined up this season? Id imagine we'l have a few in that squad.

Is Tom Holroyd related to Graham Holroyd?

19's beat widnes 36 - 18 today, Hattrick for jack broadbent on return from injury, Corey Johnson x 2, chapman smith and hamill with the trys. We were getting beat 18 - 10 after 55 mins so quite a comeback. There were 9 first years in our 17.

Another test past by the young Rhinos.
Just add M.O.M for me was either Trout or Mconnell.
Great to see Broadbent back & Muizz who added good impact from the bench.

What are you making of mcconnell this season? He was a standout talent in the 16's but thought last year was a bit hit and miss for him, even taking into account it was his first at 19's level, but think he's starting to really find his form this season.

Good ball handler McConnell. Skillful for big lad.

Agree with Marty plus he's really showing his early potential more consistently now & also has a great engine on him.

2 more trys for harry newman today. 8 trys in 5 games for fev now

Loui has so much more in him than a biff and barge front rower, it has been frustrating at times to see his role being limited. Look forward to getting out to seeing him soon as ive not been able to get out this year.

Morgan Smithies is a fantastic talent and I don't normally big kids up as I know it's a funny old game and a lot changes but I tip him to be England Captain one day.

Waites I believe was always a Wigan fan. Like Borough as he's a great hooker.

You got a good lad in Tom Holdroyd though, another one with a bright future.

I've also watched Corey Johnson and Harvey Spence as I coached a Hull team in same age group. Both very good players.

And I've seen talk about that Siddall team, best ever youth team I have seen in my time in game.

19's beat wakefield 28 - 14 last night. 8 first years in the starting 13.

Owen Trout went well last night and 2 tries for Harry Newman his 2nd on final hooter was a beauty.

Missed last nights game but Trout has been consistently outstanding he must be close to the 1st team now.

Newman's footwork is very reminiscent of Martin Gleeson.

Newman is bulking up.....and still keeping his mobility. At 18 yrs he’s looking like he could be a real Centre option for the next decade plus.

Trouts been fantastic all season, he couldnt be coming along at a better time either with the age and contract status of our first team backrowers. The cherry on top is thathat he's exactly the type of backrower the first team needs....A big,athletic,linebreaking one.

You can see the progress week-on-week at Fev. Some Fev fans have started making comparisons to Paul Newlove, which is a bit premature - Newlove was freakishly strong from an early age - but he's a very exciting prospect.

He's also a rare good advertisement for the merits of Dual Registration. Hardly anyone likes DR (including me), but the agreement between Leeds and Fev does actually seem mutually beneficial for both teams. Newman is definitely ready to play against men, but not quite ready to start for a good SL team yet (2019 might be a different story), and it's surely better for his development to be playing for a competitive Championship team, and at his proper position (ie centre) against the likes of Toronto, Batley etc than making hay at U19 level (I understand why he's played there this weekend of course ie Fev are playing in the CC).

Agree with all of this, the point you make about playing in his proper position is key imo. I hate to see exciting young getting there first team chance on the wing,, the jump up in standard is hard enough without playing out of position, especially with the way the game is today. Teams work so much on there attacking kicking games that even seasoned, international wingers struggle with it, never mind a young , putting them under high balls defensively is a quick way to shatter a lads confidence. Great to see Newman doing so well at fev, fantastic talent.
