Yeah the streams absolute rubbish...they have been all season since theyv started using the restream streaming service....the quality used to be good in past seasons.

The streams improved but our performance hasnt, we look an unorganised mess so far, massive improvement needed against a team who' v won once all season

28 - 26 to hull kr with a minute left....absolutely dreadful performance from us today, as bad as iv seen from one of our young teams since Mozza's days coaching.

Finished 30 - 30. Extremely poor from us

Impressed with Joe Hird. A real handful. Coby Nichol seems to be from the Willie Isa school of discipline. Overall a poor standard but great to be back at Headingley for the U19s

Re: 2021 | U19's Academy : Sat Aug 21, 2021 9:34 pm  

Hird has been consistently good. Another couple of tries for Max Simpson too. When he fills out a bit he is going to be a real handful. He’s a bit Senior-esque.

Not for wanting to sound like a stuck record but they look poorly coached (even given the challenges this year) evidenced again by another poor interview by Walker.

Feel a bit sorry for this age group their careers have been badly impacted by Covid but if we are honest the team that played today is badly short on quality.

You put Gannon, Levi, Gatus and Tindall in the team and it improves it dramatically but, rightly so, 3 of those are playing at a much higher level currently. We are pretty short on quality in terms of depth but in Gannon and Levi weve 2 of the best prospects going so that compensates it.

Saying that tho there is no way this team shouldve gifted KR a way back into the game like it did. No idea what they was doing at times.

Wakey away Thursday night. Must improve.

Agreed, these same players looked excellent at scholarship level, plenty of them looked excellent at Origin level 2 week ago...Look like theyv never met each other under Chev.

Im not a fan of how we approach our Academy head coach position, its a vital couple of year in a players development and we just give the role to an unqualified ex player and hope for the best it seems. Morley was an absolute disaster, Rob did pretty well and now Chev is more Morley than Rob imo, we look clueless under him.

Mark Butterills the best coach at the club below the first team, the best junior coach in the country imo...I dont know his situation so not going to say what role he should or shouldnt have, but the more time he spends around our young players the better it is for the club and the players, if that means a promotion, if he wants it, we should be doing it.
