Is he 19 yet? A lot of 17 and 18 year olds in that team. Maybe he's still under contract.

I'm sure he's in his first year of U19s.

Some of our first years in the 19s are really promising.

Definitely. We're 6th in the academy table where a lot of the first years make up most of the team. We pushed the unbeaten saints side all the way last night.

Think a lot of them will sign full time contracts next year when they have finished college.

Beat Newcastle 86-6 tonight.

I think if we beat London then we have a great chance of qualifying for the top 4 play-off. For a championship club that's an unbelievable achievement. Won't get mentioned though. Only Leeds and Saints develop young players...

If Sam Burgess came through certain other clubs youth systems we'd have never heard the end of it.Sometimes feels like the media think he began his career at South's...

I hope the bulls get the u19s games on bulls tv soon. I wanted to watch our win over Widnes and it's still not on there despite the game taking place almost a week ago

Full Widnes game is now up on Bulls tv

Certainly a good bit of biff.

Have to say, i do like the look of our 7 Dan Sowerby. Unfortunately he is 19 so it looks like we're not keeping him. Looks a decent player.

Someone down our right flank (Oakes maybe?) looked very classy with ball in hand. Some perfectly timed passes and skillful offloads.

Also that fight early doors was pretty mental. The Widnes player that got the red card must have thrown at least a dozen punches!

Which juniors have made their debuts in the first team this season?

Ryan and Lumb were in the squad at the start of the year. Oakes and Trueman have played this season and Oakes has signed a FT deal. Will Trueman be in the first team squad next season along with the other 6 recently announced(Oakes included)

Trueman will probably get the nod for 2018 provided he carries on improving.

He was only 17/18 when he debuted this year IIRC so has another year to prove he's up to it.

A lot can happen in a year for these lads. Ross Oakes was nowhere a year ago and was on a very basic contract. He came back for pre season a changed man and ripped in - he turned himself into a serious 1st team prospect where before he was coasting.

That's good. Must be approaching 50% of the first team squad for 2017 with homegrown talent.

Hi there, when will the U19 game against London U19 be on Bulls TV?

I dunno. I suggest asking the Bulls via their twitter or facebook pages. Can't be long now though.

To BullBuilder members

Thursday 26th January at 7.30pm in the Touchdown Bar. Odsal Stadium.

Could we please remind you of our forthcoming AGM.

As you know the club has been through a great deal over the last few weeks but the new owners have come in and we have a new start.

As promised they have reinstated the Academy and its staff. John Bastian the head of youth development has said many times that BullBuilder are a vital part of the academy support team and we have a massive part to play in its future.

This means membership, events and fundraising are going to be even more important than ever. We thank you for your backing and look forward to your continued support.

John will be at the AGM to address members about what's happened and what the future brings and answer questions.

Hope those BullBuilder members amongst you can make it.

Bets signing of the lot of John. Fantastic!

I was trying to work out what a Lose Forward was....

16s beat Huddersfield 44-18 yesterday (probably a bad thing, as they'll likely now try and sign half of them) and 19s have just beaten London 28-22. Good weekend for the juniors.

Very good news. 19s sounded like a good game apart from the fighting after the whistle

Just been officially tweeted by the Club
TONIGHTS UNDER 16's GAME HAS BEEN CALLED OFF. Due to a serious an injury to the Bradford Bulls player. Further info will be shared tomorrow

Wish the player concerned well.Mathew Laird serious injury.

I was there. Although I missed the incident that caused the injury as the game kicked off 15 minutes early and I came through the gate just as the injury happened.

It really didn't look good. The kid was down for a long long time before they eventually stretchered him off with an oxygen mask. I didn't see him move, but that's not to say he didn't.
Talking to someone who did see it, he said there were about 3 opposing players in the tackle and it looked like a shoulder charge, but he wasn't sure. The Bulls lad then just stayed down. Regardless of whether it was or wasn't a charge though, there's no blame to any Wakefield lad, it was an accident and nothing more.

About 10 minutes or so after he was stretchered off and the teams were led from the field at the same time, the ref came back out and declared the game abandoned. Bizarre that it's exactly 8 years to the day that Leon Walker died. I really REALLY hope for a better outcome from this and for some good news on recovery very soon.
