Shirt numbers not announced until after the game.

I’m fully aware of that but seems odd that Holyroyd is 25 for the match when 3-4 players have lower numbers and have yet to play SL. Probably nothing in it as Newman is 21.

Needs a big season Holroyd.

Looked the business early doors but has had some rotten luck with injuries and faded badly.
Hopefully under Arthur he can have a real breakout season and a good run of spelled games.

Speaking of which, real shame for Edgell breaking his jaw especially with Miller out

Likely means Ash to fullback you would have thought.

Or lumb if Arthur wants to keep Handley and Connor in positions they're more likely to be in come round one.

Sam lisone looking nice and trim.

I'd love to see Lumb given a run there. His speed could be a great asset. Unfortunate for young Alfie, but he'll come again.

Connor starting FB, Joe Diskin steps up to bench

Are the McCormack's injured. Wouldn't have minded seeing Ned at full back.

Decent first half, poor second

Dont think any of the kids will be happy with their performance, but the bigger concern is the total lack of physical development, looks like they havnt been in a gym since leaving the scholorship 12 month ago
