Agreed. Theres some big decisions to be made at the end of this season with so many players off contract and so many talented youngsters waiting to progress, the likes of dupree, mcconnell and trout will be finishing there 2nd year in the 19's and may need to be tied down to pro deals and a first team squad number in order to keep them. Thankfully the club usualy get these things right.

Heard there’s some talent within the 15s too four or five played yesterday for the 16s against Wigan so agree people are getting something right within the structure . It’s an exciting time

Yeah the 15's look like they'v got some talent. We'v got 4 of the siddal team who got to the national cup u14's final last year, one of them, ajanhi wallace, has played a few matches this season and looks a handful from the little iv seen. And we'v got 5 of the weatherby bulldogs team who are probably the best u15's team in yorkshire, oliver field is a stand off we'v got from them, he got man of the match when they won the yorkshire cup in january, another, sam little, was on the wing against wigan on saturday.

Not sure if theyr the real standout players of the 15s though, there could be more highly rated players in the group.

Don’t know about the standouts but I know the young lads played well off the bench yesterday as did the left winger who I’m guessing is a 15? Some real potential flying about at the moment . Fingers crossed the clubs coaching staff can bring it to fruition .

Yeah the left winger will of been sam little, tindall was on the right wing.

How have Oliver Peterkin, jay Scriven and Ewan Lewis gone this year?

Leeds have signed a great crop of under 15s. Castleford and Leeds between them have mopped up all of the best talent east of the Pennines with the exception of Siddals best player who has signed for Wigan.

How good is nathan carter at cas? Seems to score 3 or 4 trys every game for kippax u16s.

Id say not matt he does some good things then goes missing for long periods in the games i have watched him,has the talent but not the work ethic . Think theres a 16s game tonight but havent seen any media coverage ? Lets us down at times the clubs coverage of the scholarship and academy .

Cheers tomtom. 16's beat saints 50 - 4 tonight in there final game of the season. Brilliant campaign for them. We lost 2 games when playing a full team of u15's. The actual u16's have well beaten everbody, including big wins over wigan and saints tonight. Big well done to them all.

So who do we reckon the club will sign?

Watched the 16s tonight against saints, what a great performance by the young rhinos to dominate and put 50 on a saints side that's done well this year . The teams abilty to ‘play what they see’ is great to watch and testomony to the players and their head coach . Another quality crop of players ready to move up to the academy. Exciting times !!!!!

Just watched the highlights. That Joe Burton in centres looks a class above.

3 try's last night for Cas in their final match. Will be highly sought after I would think when the contract window opens.

Just guesswork but the lads who have cought my eye and the positions theyv mostly played for the 16s are:

Iwen stephens - fullback
Liam tindall - wing
Joe burton -
Jack mallison - scrumhalf
Harry anderson - standoff
Jacob gannon - backrow
Lewis delaney - backrow
Oli burton - hooker
Rian rowley - prop
Olly adamson - prop

If all of these are signed id be happy. Standouts for me are j burton, tindall, delaney and anderson.
