The winners will be away to Saints next weekend.

Wigan won the qualifier 22 - 16 earlier today at Orrell.

Our defence has been poor since going 10 up. Ref definitely gave some VERY questionable decisions our way in first 20 mins. JJ Sheriffe looks dangerous with the ball but his defence is awful

Cheers for the updates

I guess the question is which of these guys are anywhere near first team standard i.e which of those should be in the first team squad for 2010?

Ditto. And ditto! Remembering of course this was the (to-be-abolished) reserves and not the academy?

Crossley looks a decent player, but they all seemed to struggle with the heat today.

Hyde had a poor game. He seemed to make opportunities, but then fluff them. Neither him, Wray or Horton looked like they're going to be knocking on the first team door any time soon.

Difficult to judge on a game where you spend a large portion getting tonked really. JJ Sheriffe is certainly dangerous with the ball, but his defence was really bad at times, although he certainly wasn't alone in that.

must be a family trait

I'd be very surprised if anybody from that team joined Elliot Whitehead in making the step up to first team level.

There seems to be much more prospects in the academy at the momet.

That Leeds team had six players with SL experience in it. Not bad for a reserve line up.
