19s was hoping to play Wigan next week but its fallen thru so season over.

I was looking for the white suit, bevvy of beautiful Russian laydeez and the helicopter mate but must have missed you!

My lad did manage to almost walk in to Kevin Sinfield round the back of the stand though so it wasn’t a total loss for celebrities.

I was with Sir Kev n Agar before the game. Agar thought Thurs game was much higher quality than people think.

Brilliant Jim, my lads first will be nxt season, started playing with his local teams u7's this season and loves it.

Superb. So much better for kids than sitting in front of a TV screen.

George is nearly 5 so a bit of a struggle for him to be fair. It was really nice and heartwarming… for about 20 minutes! I reckon we’re a couple of years away from first team games,

I hope mine gets into it like yours! What position is yours lined up for..? Mine’s tall, daft and angry so prop all the way.

Right now id say somewhere in the backs...he loves the ball in hand and seems to be always tying the bootlaces when theres tackling to be done!!

Inherited his Dad’s brains obviously!

Anything in your discussions that might have indicated Gale returning on Friday?

No mate.

Jack Mallinson signed for Hunslet on a 1 yr deal.

Oli Burton leaves to join Batley Bulldogs permanent deal

According to YEP seven lads signed on for Academy next season:

Will Gatus, Jack Johnson, Kai Morgan, Alfie Edgell, Max Simpson, Riley Lumb, Jack Smith (who I don’t know about).

These players do seem to be the pick of the bunch, a couple of future first grade prospects in there maybe.

Pleased with that, I had 5 of 7 getting 33+ squad numbers for 2022. Adds to the depth which is only going to help and likely we will see them in the reserves.
