Chance for a fair few youngsters.

I don't know how best to make it fair but id love and initiative where in one round a season, each team have to field a minimum of 5/8 academy players or under 21's.

I really enjoyed watching the Salford game last year and I'll enjoy this one.

I've thought this, have an academy round. But you'll get the usual suspects complaining its unfair, they haven't got an academy going up against saints or Wigan.

Why not 2 or 3 youngsters every week in every team ? They are the future of the game .

I'll still be surprised if Leigh win though.

So I've left out Dean (tough on him considering he's been recalled), I dont think we would want Thewlis / Austin / Widdop off the pitch.

Gannon, Burgess and Whitehead (some famous surnames there....!) left out, more because I know least about them tbh. Looking forward to the game in a strange sort of way - similar to Salford last year.

I might include Dean on thr bench, as a back up half/hooker even though we've got yhat covered with davis

Looks about right. Not knowing the young ones so well makes this difficult. I like what I have seen of Dean so it would be good to get him in but not sure how without knowing full picture.

Yes good pick, that would be my guess as well

Morgan Burgess was a prop but is now playing BR and I think much better suited to that position, He is an 'overage U19' so I guess this is a bit of a make or break season for him. Tom Whitehead is a good prospect. He was playing HB but now seems to have moved to BR as well. He is a year younger than Burgess and is a clever runner with good hands. It's good to see them both included in the 19 and will hopefully spur them on.
Gannon is playing loose atm and is good footballer that gets through a lot of work but I can't see him displacing Butler/Doro on the bench. From what I have seen of Dean he has done ok at York but has not been outstanding and can can go missing at times.

Surprised Nathan Roebuck isn't included in the squad. He always looked an outstanding young player to me. Wondered if Walter knows if he has an injury or just not selected.
