Saints won today 40 plus points to 12. Keeps us at the top of the table with Hull KR.

Lewis 'dougie' Charnock
Tom Roughley
Greg Richards

All made there u18's debut after moving up from the 16's. It was Charnocks first game for 12 months and he was very good.

Saints far too good once again at this level.

How is the boy Brotherton doing? He looked a likely lad in the youtube videos of him playing for Northampton.

Brotherton is with the U20's and is doing ok. It's a team that as no consistency because of the first team injuries.

Interesting that Saints have just signed another lad from Northampton for our U15 scholarship team for next season. Apparantly he is a very good player.

According to the Official site the final score was
Saints 50 -12 Cas
That puts us top of the league with 18points Hull KR are second with 17
Wigan are in 9th place with 10 points.

Putting Antipodean over 30s ahead of developing the kids again I see. I wonder what Rogues' excuse is for this failure?

I'm sure he said a while back that they were a poor crop of youngsters this time. I've just posted on the cherry and white about it. Their team just won today 24-20 v Hull

As I've just explained on the Wigan site in answer to AM's post.

Has the tour squad to Australia been named yet ?

Not sure, but the first time Rogues went on tour a chap named Cook was the Captain, (of the ship)

Most of our under 20's though are either on standby for first team duties or are playing for first team. Wigan are still in 9th place in the under 18's though.
If you look on the official Saints site they have a league table which shows Saints top and Wigan 9th.

They have a "star"(expensive) Antipodean playing in the u 20's by the name of Amos Roberts!

The Saints u 18's are a very good crop of youngsters & most of them are only 17 & most of them are signed up. They are touring Australia in Oct/Nov. The majority of the team have come through from Portico u 16's & were National Champions last year, being coached by one Bernard Dwyer.

Get him back at Saints. lol

I've just looked in the League Express, the League Weekly and the RFL site. www.therfl.co.uk/matchday/league_tables and there are no tables published for the U18's Now if Saints want to make an U18 table, then good for them. But here's a question. Why didn't they do one for the U15's and U16's. And guess which match reports they conveniently forgot to report at those levels?

Just accept the reality Rogues: our u18s blow yours out of the water. If the group stays together, they may even beat you in an u20s Grand Final! (Assuming your group is ever good enough to get there, obviously!)

The australian tourist team is on a new topic on the st helens forum page if you have a look
