First time I've seen our Academy this season so it wouldn't be fair for me to be too harsh - but I'm hoping that Brierley must be a genius to make that half-decent outfit beat nearly everyone.

The half-backs and hooker were superb for Wakey - and all the rest looked pretty good aswell.

ben blackmoore,josh nathaniel,jordan thompson and ryan brierley were all missing and the latter three are probably three of our best players,so its not hard to see where and why we struggled.

wakey were excellent. they had the stand off missing for 10 mins in the first half , but were still impressive. looked better than cas right across the board

Ive watched the academy alot this year and i can honestly say thats the worst ive ever seen them play! Full credit to wakey they didnt let the cas team ever get into a rhytm during the game and did the little things better than us!!!

On another note thou id still say brierly is a better prospect than southernwood from what i saw today, he seemed to not want to get his hand on the ball as much as brierly and he called the linesman a wucking fanker for giving a try which was 100% the correct decision and he knew it!

Wakey's full back was good. He's my tip to break through soon.

Probably about 1100 I think. Main stand was the main area and that wasn't full. Plenty of empty seats. And there were about 50-60 people dotted around the rest.

He needs to cut that stupid thing off the side of his head though! What is it with the youth of today and bad hair?

I was very disopointed with both teams i was expecting a better standerd to be brutley honnist apart from the hooker and maybe the loose foward for Wake and the Centre for Cas nobody else will even come close to playing first team rugby.I heard so much about Wake 6 but to me he as the skill but it he his 4 stone to light i was sat next a scout from Wire he roughly said the same as me.
