GB under 19s v AUS
A great display from GB the forwards on top from the start The score 18-6 , no CAS players on show, our EX CAS Player Mclelland may be not spelt correctly had a very quiet game, Leeds have a lot of very good young talent along with Wigan and St Helens,

Looking at the bigger picture, great to beat the Aussies at this level. Although no Cas lads involved, we were represented by some originating from our system.
Re: GB under 19s v AUS
England played with a simple but effective game plan and to a man/boy gave absolutely everything. The Aussies just couldn’t handle our physicality which is really encouraging and shows the game at youth level in this country is far from the basket case some would have you believe. Hopefully some of these young kids will get some first team action for their clubs this season. Fans always clamour for supersrars and overseas signings but I don’t think you can beat the pride in watching good young local talent breaking into the first team and ripping it up.

Very true but his face fits and he's picked on what he did at 15 when he was an early developer. He's getting found out now other lads are as strong and his skill set isn't anything like good enough.John wrote:Always has a quiet game but still gets picked we have better talent

Re: GB under 19s v AUS
The issue isn't talent it's a lack of numbers,those that are playing are very good and there is a lot of depth beyond this England side,you could pick another 17 from the academies that would challenge this England side. The other issue is a lack of opportunity for these lads to keep developing.daytona wrote:England played with a simple but effective game plan and to a man/boy gave absolutely everything.

Re: GB under 19s v AUS
Very true Brayton. A mandatory reserves comp would certainly be the most natural progression for them which will hopefully be brought in for next season. It does seem odd though that one of the teams with the best young talent in Leeds oppose the idea.
Re: GB under 19s v AUS
as a follower of our Junior sides I can not understand why more people don't attend these matches one of the reasons I get a season ticket is the free entry to junior games it compensates for the first team matches I miss, playing Thursday nights and clashing with the TV game might be one of the reasons why crowd numbers are down ??

I think this years 19s side will go well,they should be pushing for a top 4 finish..
Re: GB under 19s v AUS
I think you are right Braytontiger we have some talent coming through a number last year playing above the age level I will try and make it what ever day they play
