He is not the only full back to do this--Jack Owens does it all the time and was clearly doing it for the first team against Barrow. Its just that Alex has a louder voice



I am surprised no one has mentioned the player who created about 5 tries yesterday. His passing and kicking game has been responsible for so many of the tries that the Academy have scored this season. Well doned Chris Atkin.

Alex Brown's try at Keighley in his debut first team game last season was the best individual try we've scored since Damien Blanch's length of the field effort at The Shay about 4-5 years ago.

The best thing about the juniors that have had a first team run out, is that they've all made a good impression. They all have good habits, play positively, without fear.

Look forward to seeing the likes of Tom Kelly, Greg Scott, Alex Gerrard and others getting their chance again.

So the number 7 was not atkin?

No Atkin was 6, not sure who the 7 was but after seeing them both against Wigan and Warrington they are both very talented lads and to think they only have Gore & Gilmour ahead of them too... the future's bright

Find out who the number 7 is mate.

Brown is brilliant and why not in the first team?

Number 7 was Danny Price
