you aren't the only ones following/interested, but you are the only ones seemingly needing to big yourselves up as uber supporters



Great that the 19s are doing so well, seems like a big gap for the u16s, how many games a season do they play?

Not at all. Thread simply shows that good news has has very low currency on here.

Not at all.

But if it's wound you up then great

The 16s only play every 2 or 3 weeks, and only have 8 listed games.

19s were a bit patchy today but picked it up second half and worked some good tries

Are you new to the Internet?

To be fair, if you take a look at other boards on RLFans there is very little talk of the respective U19s.

Great to see our lads starting the seasn so well, mind.

Good point. However, we've got several players like Logan, Fash,Downs, Lancaster who seem to be candidates for the first team in the next couple of years and the club have said this homegrown route is one they favour so I do think it's worthy of a thread and comment personally. Had they lost, rather than won, all four games, I suspect this would have been brought up more. Just a hunch.

I'm not questioning the worthiness of the thread - personally I like a bit of good news.



It's just that on the web you always get more interest/posts/etc. regarding bad news than you do regarding good. Folk on the internet love a good whinge/rant.

Kosh - you never spoke a truer word!!

Daily Mail/Express circulation goes up 10% when they fabricate a weather disaster prediction. Not limited to internet

Whereas in the Sun, you just get a lot of t*ts. A lot like this forum really.

ha ha ha spot on there roader

Went along to watch your 19s. Awful game of rugby, but to be fair Hull had some important players missing. The age and size of your side will ensure that you will roll most sides in that league this year. Certainly watching Rovers 19s this season I think we may struggle to cope physically.

U19s losing to Catalans 24-14 at HT in a friendly.

Saw their players at the game last night - looked a big set of lads.

Ended 46-20. The Catalan lads looked massive though when I saw them last night, must have been a really tough game for our lads.

I went along today. The Cats lads were bigger and faster, particularly the outside backs. We did score some nice tries but struggled to contain them and made too many mistakes. Only a friendly though and we were trying out a few different combinations and fringe players I think.

Finished 46-20 to Catalans. Don't think Lancaster or Logan were playing, not sure about Downs, Fash or Turgut (is he eligible)? Is Logan injured?

No Lancaster, Downs, Logan, Turgut, or Fash. Reckon they might have been rested? Think there was at least one debutant.

I'm not that close to it, but looking at the teamsheet there were a few names I didn't recognise.

On Doncaster's team sheet last week they had Turgut down as a loan player. Not sure if this was a mistake or just not announced, don't remember seeing anything announced. Might be wrong but I think Logan missed last week due to injury, back maybe?

About 4 or 5 on debut I think.

Fc raced off to early lead but switched off and allowed the visitors back in the game.

Some handy looking lads on the Catalans team, 1, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 14 all had good games

U16s got we'll beat away at Fev 40 - 10.
Mixed feelings on that one as 2 Hull Wyke lads are in the Fev team

U19 lost 32-18 v Wigan today.

Awful conditions, Wigan led 20-6 at half time playing with the strong wind, Cal Lancaster bit of magic for our try.

Second half with wind we should have done better, some poor play choices, didn't use the wind and utilise HTWs usually strong kicking game but the halfs and Abdull didn't seem in it and lacked confidence to take the line on.

Credit to Wigan who played a smart second half and looked a very fast well drilled outfit all game

Wigans 3 Oliver Gildart had good game , 8 Joe Bretherton was a big lad who caused problems and the full back Gabriel Fell (if team sheet was correct)

Quite agree Hutchie. Apart from that lovely piece of play from Lancaster, we seemed to be bereft of ideas. They're obviously using the same play book as the first team because it was just one pass and hit the opposition line. No spark there at all. Very disappointing.

If your stuck at a loose end on Good Friday the U19s are at home (Bishop Burton) v Bradford. KO 12:00
