More money for finishing 5th so that’s the remit from up on high, no oli Russell would leave them with no halfbacks as josh Pinder injured

Greenwood can play in the halves- as can Flynn. Salm startedout as a half.

Wigan beat Leeds tonight to finish top of the academy table.

So that means its
Wigan (1) v Huddersfield (4)

Saints (2) v Leeds (3)

Greenwood has been playing in halves meaning Flynn doing 80 at hooker, salm hasn’t played in halves since he was 16, hasn’t trained in that position, is only 2 weeks back from hamstring injury and also left Academy for six months prior to that, don’t you think it would make more sense for the 19’s to have their strongest team available? Rather than putting square pegs in round holes

Just as an addition I feel the academy will struggle next year. This current crop of third years have been Exceptional - many of them played as first years- or up from scholarship in the Academy- as they were better players than those that could be selected from above then- yet we haven’t seen so many first years play......

Re: U19's Academy - This Sunday : Thu Sep 13, 2018 4:56 pm  

Young
Bamber
Tibbs
Simpson
Mayoh
All first years who have played a lot of games this year
