For those of you on twitter @MICKtheGLED (Mick Gledhill) is tweeting the score updates.

Mick Gledhill has tweeted that Wires are winning 44 - 0.
But the game was stopped for three minutes because of an injury to a Wire player that required a stretcher.

Hope the Lad is ok!!

Keep up the good work Under 20s.

Rhys Evans and Tyke both played.

Again from Mick Gledhills twitter feed.
'Result Bradford 4-50 Warrington'

Rhys Evans played at Centre and Tyke played at 13.

Who was injured?

Seems to be James Mendieka.

Unfortunately James Mendieka has dislocated his elbow.
Hope it isn't too serious and he recovers quickly.

Heard O Brien coming on loan to Widnes as White is a shocking Standoff.Thoughts?

Looks like a very serious one and extremely painful.

Best of luck to James for a quick as possible recovery.

It will give him more Super League experience which will be good fro his development long term.

Quite a few players look likely to go out on loan.

Ryan Shaw has just signed a dual contract with Leigh.

For anyone who's interested, my match report is [url=http://bradfordbulls.wordpress.com/2012/03/02/bulls-juniors-mauled-by-classy-wolves/here[/url.

Gareth O'Brien went extremely well for you lot, was impressed with James Saltonstall as well.

I wish tony would give some of these young blokes a go in the first team.

Who would you drop? Not disagreeing but it's difficult to bring in new faces when we're unbeaten, knocking about around the top 2 and have lost 1 of our last 20 odd games.

Match Report from last night www.warringtonwolves.org/wolves- ... esson-5086 I must say this was one of the best victories I have been involved in with the Under 20s, team spirit was and is amazing. Let's hope for a speedy recovery for Mendy

My only gripe was how we used the Challenge Cup last year.

I don't see any reason to play full blooded sides against Swinton etc, winning 112-0 did nothing for me. Should we get these sort of fixtures this year and I'd much rather 48-10 with a side featuring a few of the young lads and some experience who need the game/currently out of the 17 etc. I think we had a couple of these lob-sided games last year, when people talk of too many games etc, I'm not sure why we took them so seriously.

Other than that, I agree really. Look at Riley & Evans, Evans was in - London at home was the best I've seen him play in a Warrington shirt, slight tweak in traning, Riley gets 4 in 2 matches, gets a big pat on the back from Smith and you can't see Evans getting back anytime soon.

I wouldnt be dropping anyone per say.

When injurys occur or when players need a break then what harm would it do throwing one of these young lads in.

Monas being a case in point, why not give Brad Dwyer ago. Apparantly he has been going very well in the under 20's. Smith has decided to put Higham back in who has been out injured for a few weeks himself and may very well be rusty. Surely Dwyer is the future whilst Higham may not be here much longer.

No point in producing your own talent if they arent given an opportunity. My concern is that all this talent may end up elsewhere simply due to lack of opportunity.

On the otherhand maybe Tony doesnt think these boys are good enough for SL just yet. Maybe people who report on the under 20's are over egging their quality. Given the results they are churning out though I wouldnt have thought this would be the case.

My concern is the lack of quality opposition for the young lads. Some of them could be in the position of not quite being ready for 1st team opportunities, yet being way too good against the teams that they face each week. A bit of a no mans land if you like.

With Wire's squad no-one is guaranteed 27 appearances. Tony Smith has a fine record of bringing through local talent - most of the Leeds first teamers came through the junior ranks when he was there. We will never be able to keep every single Academy player, but I don't think many of them will be complaining yet about lack of SL opportunities.

Is that true though?

Who did Smith bring through at Leeds? McGuire, Burrow, Sinfield, Diskin etc were all first teamers before he got there. I think Hall was after he'd gone (I think).

I'm not actually sure who came through during his tenure and I'm not saying he won't bring them through whilst at Warrington, to date you'd have to say really that he's brought through who, Evans? He's the only one really that he's promoted, Williams at a push. Others have become a little more established like Cooper & Blythe.

Some excellent tries in there, some very slick handling and great movement.

Who's the lad who got the 1st try and set up Evans for his try in the 2nd half?
