Pretty certain we will fail them with the current set up, unfortunately, hopefully they will get a chance at well coached professional club

Going on the past history of any junior set up, including much larger and more sophisticated set ups in Aus it is rather unlikely that all 5 will become established SL players. Depressing I know, but that's the way it is and it needn't be because the club (or indeed the player themselves) has "failed". Players aren't predictable machines and there are far more ways a career can go wrong than right.

Not sure that's true, there's a few from our 2005 GF winning academy side that are established SL players now. Leeds, Wigan?? There's plenty of recent examples.

Fair call that.

One kid i like the look of whose name doesnt get mentioned is Callum Smith, fairly unknown as i believe he's from Lincoln but he's had some great games this year.

U16s are at Bishop Burton next Thursday evening 19:00 and U19's at YPI on the Saturday 16th at 12:00 if anyone fanices a look before the Cas game

Looking forward to the game tomorrow at YPI, make sure to come down and cheer on the boys, big game for them

Going to be a tough game for them missing 5 or 6 first choice players, luckily Saints have similar.

The u16s won last night v North East academy 30-16, couple of late tries pulled them out a tight contest

What time's kick off?

12:00

U19s 28-0 down, that's disappointing.

Maybe they aren't as good as we are led to believe.

To their credit came back, but lost 24-40, not sure who Saints Had missing, but Hull had a lot missing in Abdul, Turgut, Lancaster, Logan and HTW.

These are the five players someone predicted to make SL players last week.

Finished 26-40. Did well on the comeback in the 2nd half, but poor start cost them.

Missing Lancaster, HTW, Logan, Turgut amongst others and had a good crack.

That's a cheap dig and there was no need. Maybe if you went you wouldn't need to listen to others opinions?

some cant resist a dig

I have been and seen the progress some of the players are making....just seems strange that nobody mentions Dean as its all HTW and are losing another 2 players to a apprentiship and the army.

Not a dig at all as I have seen them play and we have got some outstanding prospects and I hope they come through but we seem to be losing some and still no contract talks with HTW

Too many people on here miss the point of the u19's, it really doesn't matter if you're top of the league or bottom and lose every game. It's all about who you bring through to the first team and how many. The players that were missing, the likes of Lancaster, Abdul, Turget and Logan have all made the first team on more than 1 occasion suggests your junior set up is doing a good job

Very indifferent game, i had it down as 26-46 but i never get score right

The wind more than played its part

Fc had all the early pressure but Saints hit us with 3 quick tries and took it to a 28 point lead at one point. Credit to FC for digging it back to 28-20 and had chances to draw even closer.

Dean threw some smart passes out again and we've found a prop (playing 13) with a kicking game in Brad Fash who set up 2 tries with his boot.

Fairly matched in the packs but Saints outside backs were the difference, both teams had equal amounts of 'first choicers' missing.

Is HTW injured or making his debut tomorrow at Doncaster?

Playing for England u18s.

He's playing today for England Academy against France.

(No mention of Yeaman in your post, most odd.)

Decent comeback. Hopefully we finish in the top 4.

When will you stop being a Di-k brain? If anyone is odd on here its you.All you do is nit pick peoples posts yet have nothing meaningful to say yourself.
Its not a post about Yeaman but if you need my opinion again on Yeaman he is Rubbish.if you went to the match he did nothing all game and gave away a try by once again not collecting a kick.
The first three games of the season he did Ok but since then done nothing and doesn't deserve a place in the team.
Naughton was dropped after doing well on the left wing to make way for a fit again Yeaman yet as poorly he has played he still maintains his place.
Naughton once again has shown that he has great potential and can cover several positions including half back.
We need Sa back into centre and bin Yeaman to Doncaster.

England Academy lost 35-34 to a last minute penalty.
