Just watched the highlights, Dawson looks an unbelievable runner, so quick and strong, only first year in the academy too. Played wing, centre and backrow.

Just seen it as well. It's too early to tell but he looks like he's got all the attributes to go all the way to the first team.

Won't be bringing any into the first team for this weekend then

With Clifford back, there isn't the need to bring anyone from the academy for this game.

We certainly have some promising young lads coming through.

I thought you said that the club was rotten to the core?

Don’t take this the wrong way, well you can as you normally do, you seem to just pick the faults of a certain few posters and their comments - your opinion is never humble , in my humble one.

There is no better person, than Shenton, to mentor young Dawson in modern centre play, maybe he'll be our Ben Crooks, of 2013, version for 24, but whatever, the club is certainly nurturing the young talent now more effectively than in recent years. Even if they don't make the grade, they'll be better people for their experience.

However tempting it might be, I wouldn't play the kids against this team, of all the teams in SL. They'll be aiming to rubber stamp their credentials ahead of what could be an historic 5th GF in a row and will not show any mercy, so this wouldn't be the game I'd choose to blood them in. Would be nice to think some of our departing players will sign off with a rousing , gutsy performance and it would help quell a bit of the unease among supporters if we turn up and have a real dig. I'm flying out to Turkey to meet a few old pals and get my teeth fixed, so I won't see the score until Sunday. Hoping for a nice surprise, who knows? Stranger things have happened, or have they, but we may just give it to them?

Who from the Academy are getting first team contracts next year do we think? Harmon and Armstrong seem likely. Anyone else?

Re: Reserves : Fri Sep 22, 2023 8:27 am  

Harman, Armstrong, Hodgson and potentially Wainhouse are the four I can think of.
