Lost 28-20. Much better 2nd half

Re: 2022 I Scholarship : Thu Mar 24, 2022 7:19 am  

Any stand outs Marty?

Not too dissapointed with that scoreline in the end, we had a couple of forwards starting that are nowhere near good enough imo, the 13, stephens, iv never heard of until seeing his name on the teamsheet, how did he get on?

McEwan-Peters was our best. He looks a lot bigger. Scored from a high kick. Hes raw but powerful. Butterfield had a go number 10. Nelson moved into middle 2nd half and was more effective. Taylor-Smith looks slippery but very small.

The 1st half was an embarrassment. We couldnt hold the ball and looked soft in defence. Rabbits in headlights. 2nd half they got stuck in and held the ball but Saints took players off. Once it got to 24-20 on they came and we never crossed half way in final 10.

Think Stephens went off early with a hand injury.

18s are our only hope i think. Theyve got quality backs but no front row.

Phillips is our best u16 front row prospect imo, he wasnt playing last night, then the u15's have a couple of good ones, Butterfield being one of them. Hopfully a couple of them can kick on over the next few years. Warrington will be a hard game in a couple of week, they have a couple of the best u16s from yorkshire in their ranks, their fullback, kai taylor ray, from east leeds, is absolute quality.

Yeah, he's a right handful, iv got a slight reservation about how his game will translate going up the ages, but he is a very effective, hard to handle player at this level

Re: 2022 I Scholarship : Fri Mar 25, 2022 9:49 am  

Do you know if Tom Daley is still at Warrington ?
He didn’t play the other night. I hear he is highly rated too.

Not sure on Tom, as far as i know he's still there, but couldnt be certain.

He is highly rated. At the time the scholorship intakes for this group were announced, there were 7 lads who i really hoped Leeds would get.

Taylor Ray - Warrington
Pattinson - Leeds
Mcewan Peters - Leeds
Daley - Warrington
Nelson - Leeds
Corbett - Leeds
And a half from kippax who went Cas

Just shows how they develop at different rates, Joe Phillips would be right up there for me now, but couldnt see it at the time. Kai taylor Smith will have overtaken a few aswel.

16s poor tonight. Lost 28-18 at Headingley to Warrington.

Indisciplined and too many errors again.

Re: 2022 I Scholarship : Thu Aug 18, 2022 5:51 pm  

Some big names from the bunch signed up.

Disappointing to hear Mcewan Peters has chosen RU over us though
