Think it would be way too early for 1st team. Not convinced he will ever be at that level to be honest but he's played well I agree.

Surely this lad should be playing for Hull?

And people wonder why this site doesn't get more traffic and blame me for it.

You must be looking for another ban

Superb come back by the under 19s tonight being 32-6 down winning the game 32-34. Trout needs a game in the first team very soon, class player.

Second in the league after 8 games, winning 7. One point behind wigan with a game in hand, best points for and best points against. Especially impressive considering we regularly field at least 8 or 9 first year players in our 17, we had ten playing tonight.

Excellent game last night and credit to your boys for that comeback, they got on a roll and our boys couldn't handle it once they got their game together.
Was impressed with your number 16, reminded me of Jerry McGillvary.

Thanks to those from Leeds who came along too, much appreciated.

It's good to see we have an excellent set of young halves at the club. They look the most well rounded group we've had in a long time.

To be honest I'm not convinced by the halves. It's the pack and at centre where we are strong.

The halves in 19’s not good, 16’s very good.

Do we know how many players are moving up from the scholarship?? 5-6?

I agree the 2 in the scholarship look very good. They can play but also have great organisational skills.

Big win for the Rhinos against Warrington earlier - 26-10

19's beat newcastle 60 - 4 tonight. 4 trys for harry newman

On a brighter note...19's beat catalan 44 - 16 yesterday, to go top of the table, played 11 won 10

Yes Matt the club might not be doing so well at first team level at the moment but one things for sure we look to have our act back on track in regards to the scholarship and the academy . Predicting a good few playing first team over the next few years !!

Indeed...Theres talent everywhere. Best its been for over a decade, lets hope they can keep developing like they are.

Jack Broadbent looked outstanding on the highlights, runs some great lines and has good footwork.

Broadbents outstanding, some, including myself, rate him a better prospect than Newman.

I rate them both highly but imo Newman is better at this stage.

Whilst I am more in the Broadbent camp, Newman is the guy who deserves the first shot and should be getting that before we are in the position of one or the other.

Newman is year older than Jack. Both excellent prospects. Big and athletic centres with good pace. Newman is probably the better athlete and Broadbent the better rugby brain but both have a good chance to make the grade if they stay healthy and level headed.

The young kid in 16s Joe Burton looks good too.

As someone who doesn't get to see any academy games, are there any forwards physically ready to play in the 1st team?
With the current injury situation we are desperate for new blood in the front row but wouldn't want to see someone thrown in who is not ready.

Owen Trout & Alex Sutcliffe plus i wouldnt be against giving Mconnel Darly Moorhouse or Darly 10 minute stints.
Holroyd is the best prop in the 19's but he's barely turned 17 so id leave him for at least another year.

Im not as big a fan of Trout as others are i think he looks a bit slow but he has some talent a decent offload and has a good step.

Holroyd is still a kid but if he was thrown into the 1st team on the bench he would cope for 10 mins or so easily. He runs so powerfully he really takes some stopping. I know Super League is a massive step up on 19s rugby and for a kid so young it would be a huge ask but ive no doubt in him at all.

As ive said previous the hooker Corey Johnson probably isnt quite ready to step up yet but hes better than Brad Dwyer now and id rather see him on bench than Dwyer. I hope they dont ruin Johnson by making him bulk up.
