Not sure what you mean in the bold bit but if I understand correctly the 2 in the centre are Jack Broadbent ( u15 ) and Harry Newman ( u16) the 2 Hookers are Corey Johnson (u15 ) and Eddie Wilcox ( u16 )

The Cas fixture is showing as 19:00 at Stanningley but I was under the impression it was to be played at Headingley

Broadbent & Johnson that's the 2 mate

also unless 1st team curtain raisers all our Acadamy home games are at Stanningley.

The game v Cas on Wednesday is at Headingley kick off 7pm.

See the 16s went to City of Hull Academy and put 60 points on them last weekend, off the back of the 19s putting 60 on Warrington

Fingers crossed the club can convert some of this promise into developing players for the first team. Of the regulars in the 19s, a number are going to be too old in 2017 - Nathan Barker, Tommy Brierley, Sam Hallas, Billy McDermott, Joe Sanderson for example - so it will be a much younger side next year.

So without a reserve team what happens to those older players? We so need a reserve team its not funny.

A somewhat one sided game V COH Academy - Hull played a lot of 14 year olds due to a misunderstanding and Leeds sent the older ones from their age category, so the one sided score was a reflection of that. You have some talented kids in that side though

What a load of rubbish that is. The under 16's are made up of the under 15's and under 16's. Those whose birthdate is after that game, could potentially be only 14, although I doubt many if any will have been that age. Leeds had many under 15's in their side, yes it did also contain under 16's but many under 15's too. If you had more than one at 14 in your side I would be very surprised.

Just going off what Hutchie on the Hull board said - as he is a junior coach and has kids playing in the academy - what he posted is below:

[i"U15s were well beaten by a strong Leeds team, 60 odd 6 I think. Leeds had a mainly U16 team out, and their forwards very dominant, led by no 8 big Tom Holdroyd whose only 15 and No 11 Muizz Mustapha who put in quite a few physical hits. No 4 Jack Broadbent was pick of the outside backs. Hard game for any of our lads to shine, but we picked up with the introduction of Jordan Webster off the bench at 9 and credit to one of my lads Ryan Dearing , no 15 who had to play at prop which isn't his usual role against a very physical team"[/i

Someone then questioned why Leeds played their Under 16's against our Under 15's....................

[iThey are all classed as u16, for this year COHA are running 2 teams so one is mainly u15 lads. Was told Leeds thought they were playing the other team, hence why brought a strong squad. At this level it's all about learning and development so although a tough game it will show character and other things for the coaches to look at how the lads handle a more physical challenge I reckon[/i

And Hutichie is wrong on that second paragraph bit. But correct that it is under 15's and and under 16's together. But of course he didn't say anywhere they were 14 year olds. Under 15's is the school year that started September 2015.

I apologise for presuming that Under 15's, was 14/15 year olds

Like I said, they are 14 if there birthday is after that match played and before the 31st August this year, and play in the under 15's Junior Leagues. There is one in the Leeds team that played. Hence why I said, I would be surprised if there was more than one in the Hull team also.

Harrison Scott named MOM for the Hull game, really proud of his performance as he continues his development as a very well rounded half back. Really pleased for those offered an U19 contract for next year, clearly some tough decisions have had to be made.

Yeah he played and kicked very well and scored a nice try.

It's a good group in the 16s at the moment. Could be a young 19s side next year as the existing third years move on and a few first years step in to take their places.

Ten of tonights 18 are only 15 so I don't think they will move up next year to 19s. Its a very good group though.

6 maybe 7 of 16s been offered 19s contracts

Any idea on names Seth, or can't you say?

At a guess Holroyd Trout Johnson Martin Mustapha Mconnel Broadbent

Four of them are 15's, so not this year.

At a guess more likely, Mconnell, Mustapha, Trout, Hartley, Scott, Selby, Rotherham.

Harry Newman will have got one.

Mconnell, Mustapha, Trout, Hartley, Scott, Newman, Rotherham.

Think these have been offered

Feel for the others it's been a harsh week but I'm sure a lot of the guys not offered will move on and be ok

I thought he was under 15's, otherwise yes would have put.

On team announcement im sure it said 16s.

Yep, asked young un this morning and he said year above.

Judah Mazive has made the England Academy squad after leaving the Leeds scholarship programme, so it's not the end of the world.
