Nice piece that. In the next 4 or 5 years we should hopefully see our academy being up there challenging consistently and plenty more kids coming through our systems to first team level.

The changes to our youth set up over this off-season just gone could quite possibly be the most telling thing Ken Davy has overseen in his time with the Giants. Time will tell.

Whens Hemmingway going to get his chance?

A very encouraging piece.

McGrath and Riding are doing a very good job.

Tom Hemingway is barely back to full fitness after a shoulder operation. Once he's proved he's ready for full contact and is back up to full fitness then I'm sure he'll be considered.

There is a Youth development event at the stadium on the 25th with players and coaches + Talentbuilder.

In the 17 that beat Catalans which players came through your academy?

Eorl Crabtree, Michael Lawrence, to an extent Andy Raleigh.

Was jacko in the academy?

not 100% - he played for us before going to Wakie and Cas but not sure whether he came from somewhere else before that.

Jacko was indeed an academy product.
