Owen Trout and Muizz Mustapha have gone to Dewsbury on month loans according to our website. Sam Walters makes his debut for the academy tomorrow... against widnes of all teams!

Looking forward to it. Right move to loan out those 2. They need to play against the big misters.

The game is off so please don't travel

I know pal. Gutted.

It looks like they’re being lined up for imminent first team action. Holroyd is close too.

Holroyd needs to convince coaching staff he's tough enough to be loaned out at the moment never mind 1st team. He cried out of Keighley game other week with a twinge.

Tommy is outstanding against he's own age group but we need to make sure we don't rush him. He will get there I'm sure but we need to be patient with him.

I don't think I've ever seen someone who weighs as much as Holroyd does at 17. He needs time to allow his body to adapt.

It’s not just his weight it’s his mobility too; I also like his aggression. He has everything but hopefully his mentality is there too.

Was mentioned again on the U19 commentary last week...120kg at his age.

On Holroyd, he looked better than all the Aussie forwards, every one of them is contracted to NRL clubs. Not saying he ready for SL yet but I’d like to see him get the odd game or 2 this season.

I agree, he doesn't need rushing but if can prove he's tough enough mentality he needs 5 games off the bench. He is a terrific prospect.

I don't think I remember seeing a better prop coming through the academy at his age. Ward and Bailey, even L Burgess looked good but Holroyd is certainly more damaging going forward.

When Furner was in the side that finally broke our long wait for a trophy, there were 10 academy products in the 17, including some outstanding talents, and the overseas/other signings were of real high quality. It's not necessarily a guarantee of success if we get back to this kind of ratio again, but it's what we built the Golden Era on and I think this side would paste the 2019 version I have to say. Front row of Oledzski, Johnson, Holroyd would whet the appetite in a couple of years.
