Is Ste Lucas still with Saints????

Hopefully back for the Aussie tour ?

www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/5274/ACADEMY%20LOSE The U/16's managed to put an awesome 2nd half together after an indifferent 1st half where they conceded four tries down their right flank, but gave too much pssession away as well and basically had no ball or field position. Their 2nd half, things came together & they put on 30 unanswered points until Wire had a late rally which made the score look closer than it felt after such a dominant 2nd period. I was pleased with my own lad's performance and to answer the question earlier, William Milner isn't related to the Milner brother, one at Cas & one at Hudds who they loaned out to Barrow a few weeks ago. Zak Derhurst started on the bench for Wire and I.M.O. the best Wire players were the hooker ( Ryan, didn't catch his last name ) and Milner and the goal kicking centre. The under 15's of Bradford seemed to be in control of their game for long periods in all honesty and didn't look like losing.

The Warrington hooker would be Ryan Maneely who was very impressive for England v France U16's on Tuesday.

Wigan beat Crusaders easily at U15 and U16 level scoring over 50 points in both games, but watch out for the U15 Crusaders left wing. He scored a fabulous wingers try from 60 metres out beating several Wigan players with real pace .
Well worth looking out for.

They also have a right winger in the U16's who is vary fast (a dark skinned lad) you can't miss him.

Mods if you think that appears racist (it isn't meant to be) please feel free to change the wording.

Looks like you have a good side there.

Was at this game myself and watched the 2 that followed and can say how impressed i was with most of the Saints youngsters. I agree Ollie Davies, Joe Ryan and Tom Calland all led from the front and thought that Adam Saunders had an great game at Full Back. I have watched most of the U15's since they were U7's all be it at different times due to my son playing. I would just like to point out that Dave Hewitt is a class act and any team would miss his ball handling skills and kicking game, but he has played most of his rugby at stand off for the last 12/18 months and not Full Back. Great team performance though and the future looks bright for Saint...keep up the good work boys..!!!

Both U15's and 16's play at LSH tomorrow (Sunday) against Crusaders....U15's K/O 1pm and U16's K/O 2.30pm...Your support is more than welcomed, so if your not doing anything please come down and give your support and encouragement the Saints future stars...I'm sure they'll thrive on it....

Have we any news how the boys have got on today?

Looking forward to going to watching them when time allows, looks like we have some very promising juniors.

Both teams won, however the U15's struggled. 2 new players have been signed this week in Dan Abram (Sale) and Will Weir (Warrington).

Our U16's won 50 - 4 following on from their 48-0 win last week.

Ill write the reports soon.

Ill do the U15 later as i'm confused about the scoreline was a very sloppy game.

Goals - Carr 3, Roughley 2, Heaton, Fozzard

M.O.M - Luke Thompson

Saints forwards absolutely batterd the Crusaders in both defence and attack. Luke Thompson was awesome, he is a massive unit who runs good lines and is extremly fast for the lads size. Andre Savelio was his usual destructive self with the ball and the half back pairing of Heaton and Carr did well. Was also very impressed with Matty Gee who played for the first time at this level. Saints where missing the very talented duo of Lewis Galbraith and Lewis Charnock because of injury.

Excellent win lads.

Will's been on Scholarship all season. He plays for Crosfields.

Never knew that. Was he at Warrington last year ?

Just for info Matty Gee is Jonny Lomax's cousin.
