The Dragons have named a strong team for the game tomorow v St Helens. They have an Australian u18 player in the backrow, SG ball player of the year in the centres and most of the others have played at a high level.
Tough game first up for your boys, looking forward to a big day tomorrow, The Australian WC squad are having their final training run before leaving for England then the Junior Kangaroos play the Junior Kiwis in a test match.
After its St Helens v St George Dragons.

They can't be looking forward to this, it's about 36 degrees and windy, awful conditions for RL

60-14 to St George

I've seen 2 scores. 36-10 and 60-14. I've read on twitter it was 36-10 at full time but, they played an extra 30 mins to put the youngest players on. Although, it's disappointing to lose. It isn't as bad as 60-14.

Poor day all round for St Helens, beaten by a bigger, stronger team played in 3 x 30 minute thirds.
A major problem for Sts was so many injuries, the hooker Aaron Smith went off after about 10 minutes followed by Dave Hewitt 5minutes later.
Lewis Sheridan & Jonah Cunningham also came off injured

St George were physically way more advanced but i believe most of your players were the u/16 team.
Ricky Bailey look like he could be a real star and i thought Danny Richardson look like he had a bit of class about him.

Thanks for the info. The whole squad is a mixture of the u16s team and the youngest players from the u19s team. So there will have been players playing with each other for the first time.

Hopefully they will gell and get better as the tour goes on.

Are you sure about Lewis Sheridan? I thought he left Saints last year.

Dissapointing but Ricky Bailey will be a top player. Was playing for England RU U15's 18 months ago.

Quote ="saint87" Are you sure about Lewis Sheridan? I thought he left Saints last year.'" Just heard it was Lewis Fairhurst who went off with a hand injury. There's pics from the game on www.ourfootyteam.com There's some big kids in that St George team.

What position is Bailey?

Do you think he'll stay at Saints or go back to Rugby Union?

Fullback but can play at centre.

He may have played some games at #6 but I'm not 100% sure of that. He's from the midlands but has been playing for Shevington Sharks.

Slightly o/t England academy U18 beat Wales academy 38 - 0.

His given up on Union mate, stoped playing it all together now. Obviously in the future anything can happen.

RE: Ricky Bailey

Saints have to do everything they can to keep him, he looks a fantastic prospect and i think he is only 16.
He was playing against older opposition on sunday and carved them up on a few occasions.

Are you his Dad/Mum

He isn't, but has an excellent knowledge of youth Rugby League, worldwide.

If you check the tines of his posts it may give you a very good indication of which part of the world he lives in.

They beat Wests Tigers 34-32.
Official top3 players were:
1. Ross McCauley
2. Aaron Smith
3. Lewis Hatton

That's a good win that. West Tigers will be a combined Balmain and western suburbs team. So a strong side.

They finished the tour with a super win v Penrith 20-12. Danny Richardson the scrumhalf was very impressive

Great win, well done to all concerned.

Well done youngsters. Very proud of you
