I know that Smithies was our number one target at the time, I posted this other year. That was why they set up with Siddall and Scrimshaw as coach. They got Holroyd who was also the massive target, but Wigan were a bigger pull for Smithies. Don’t know about the others.
Last year we missed out to Wigan on Longstaff, who was also a high priority target. That was the reason they pulled out all the stops to change Joe Burtons mind, which was quite an excellent signing.

Morgan Smithies is a fantastic talent and I don't normally big kids up as I know it's a funny old game and a lot changes but I tip him to be England Captain one day.
Waites I believe was always a Wigan fan. Like Borough as he's a great hooker.
You got a good lad in Tom Holdroyd though, another one with a bright future.
I've also watched Corey Johnson and Harvey Spence as I coached a Hull team in same age group. Both very good players.
And I've seen talk about that Siddall team, best ever youth team I have seen in my time in game.
