A pretty good assessment there IMO

8 very promising Leeds Rhinos U19 players have been selected in the Yorkshire academy squad to take on the Aussie Schoolboys at the Mend a Hose Jungle on Wednesday 28th November

Tyler Dupree, Tom Holroyd, Owen Trout, Muizz Mustapha, Corey Johnson, Louis McConnell, Jack Broadbent and Callum McCllellend although Harry Newman strangely hasn't been selected but i'd guess that he will be selected when England play the Aussie Schoolboys

Of those IMO Tom Holroyd,Corey Johnson,Callum McClelland and Harry Newman are all top drawer
But IMO all of the other players mentioned above could either make it at the Rhinos or at other SL clubs as they are all very talented players and as is always the case it is how they progress when they move up from academy level and start playing against men.

Morgan Smithies always looked class when I watched him play for both Siddal and Wigan and he looks to have a great future in the game (He also isn't selected in the Yorkshire side but will definitely play for England Academy)

I could never get my head around how this combined Hull FC/KR Academy set up would work and this probably proves that I'm correct and that both clubs didn't either

Run your own academies FFS and stop penny pinching

Its not penny pinching. The amount both clubs sunk into their individual academies is been sunk into the joint academy. It was more about the shallow player pool in the area.
