The club have done much better this year in promoting the academy games with previews and match reactions posted on the Giants website. Would love to see some highlights videos as don't live in Hudds do difficult to get to u19 games especially as I work weekends.
Huge praise to kelly and robbo for the work they have done and thorman before to get a true conveyor belt of talent in place wwith a genuine pathway to SL established. Giants will benefit from this for years to come and look forward to seeing a fair few of the academy lads progress. A real turnaround that seems to have been pretty quickly created - defo the right way to go and ensure we always have a few home grown players in the first team for the fans to give even more support to given they are "one of our own".

Dom young is real rocks and diamonds, Good in attack but awful in defence

Yeah. Very good win and really keeps the pressure on Widnes and Bradford.

We need to hope St Helens beat Bradford on Friday.

Huge game against Widnes for us now with a week and a half preparation.

Regarding Dom Young, how old is he? Hasn't he got 2 more years at U19 level after this? I'm sure they will be working hard to improve his defence!

Re: U19’s : Wed Aug 01, 2018 7:32 am  

Problem is he doesn’t look interested in defending, think with likes of Rhys Greenhall coming up next year he could be overtaken and year after that at least another 3 in his position

Re: U19’s : Wed Aug 01, 2018 8:01 am  

Dom Young turns 17 this month I believe so plenty of time for him to improve his alround game

Re: U19’s : Wed Aug 01, 2018 8:29 am  

You may be right and I hope you are but haven’t seen any improvement in his defence all year if anything it’s got worse, have a feeling he will do what his brother did and decide it’s not for him

Re: U19’s : Wed Aug 01, 2018 8:51 am  

Wingers are not usually known for their defence- look at Jerry- certainly the weakest part of his game now.
Cut the lad a bit of slack he’s 17!!!!

Re: U19’s : Wed Aug 01, 2018 9:06 am  

Yeah remember how supportive you were of Ollie Russell and Sam Hewitt

Re: U19’s : Wed Aug 01, 2018 9:10 am  

???? I do support our youngsters. I don’t think either is ready for full time SL just yet. They have their strengths and weaknesses but I’ve not written off a 17 year old!

Re: U19’s : Wed Aug 01, 2018 9:12 am  

You said neither was good enough, to counter that could say they are 18/19 cut them some slack!!!!!
