At least they're in the top division at their age group

Second to last.

Agree with Jake, poor standard if a game, thought nobody stood out for either team, hull just we stronger defence and more power.

Strange that both Logan and Abdul player.

Yeaman and Shaul back next week.

How will that work then?

You seem to think Rovers players are a shoe in for the academy regardless of ability?

The coaches have been selected on ability as well as staff so why would they carry baggage in the playing dept?

What assessment processes have they used to decide who are the best coaches and players?

players at this age are apparently ring fenced for each club for 3 years under the new system, so its the ones around 14 and 15 that will be affected. This lot are already allocated to their respective clubs

Just don't see what Rovers are going to bring to this academy. There's not a player in their 17 I'd take above ours.

This is what baffles me, 90% of Rovers current academy won't get a sniff of game time and the other 10% won't be regulars. So how is it going to work for them?

Absolute half d idea.

Sounds like Pearsons whole tenure tbh

One thing I wouldn't take from Rovers on the conditioning, I know we have Abdul, but Rovers had 5/6 players that looked overweight.

Hull FC have the best, Rovers have the worst.

It was quite easy

I wouldn't worry, Chezzie loves Billy Mallinson, he wont be going anywhere

Three u15 lads in the England u16 squad Sat , games down in Wales

U19s are at home v Cas tomorrow , 12:00 at YPI

Be good to see Reece Dean back in the team

Also derby game ( the last ever ) is now on Weds at Craven Park 7:30 ko

Be even better to see him make his super league debut this season

Hope so, nothing to lose now chuck him in for a game or 2 once he's got big of fitness back

8 out through injury, first team selection or international duties. Still beat Cas 36-26 today.







Some great names too in our U19s. Zeus Silk nave have been eclipsed by Marquez-Laynez.

I'd give Zeus Silk a first team contract based on him name alone. I sure hope that kid can play because I'd love to hear the commentators screaming his name.

Surely nothing tops .... Masimbaashe Matongo

Is Marquez-Laynez the son of Danny m-l ?

I'm wondering whether there's a bit of deed poll one-upmanship going on here.

All 3 of the FC lads made the starting line up for England U16 in the 52-12 defeat of Wales.

Prop Jack Brown scored the first 2 tries and centre Robbie Storey bagged a couple too.

Good job these 3 are ring fenced

Indeed.

It was Wigan's Sam Storey that got 2, not our Robbie Storey.

Trailing 12-0. Bit disappointing but on the face of it a few key players missing:

HTW
Bastiman
Downs
Fash
Bower
Abdull
Logan
Lancaster

A few playing with knocks too apparently. I'd like to think we're resting some for the play-offs- does anyone have the latest on play-off status/top 4? Lost track of it.
