Not all players are mate no. My mate Lewis Birkinshaw was dropped when Naughton etc signed.

Now its just a 19s comp clubs cant afford to have them signed up and not playing really

To be honest, I'd think that with us pretty clearly going to struggle to get much depth in our squad, we might actually be an attraction to any good young players who fancy a quicker breakthrough. Given the usual injuries over a season the chances to impress are always likely to come fairly often. Probably no help to the 16 year olds, but those around the 18 mark might fancy a bit of that.

Need to sign Jordan Gale, cousin of Luke Gale, released by Leeds under 16 scholarship, half back and kicks goals for fun !!

Have any others teams announced their junior intake as yet?

So far Wigan, Saints, Cas & Leeds have and Huddersfield have announced the signings of Jared Simpson & Kruise Leeming.
Warrington have signed Toby King from Huddersfield who is highly rated.

Look out for the name George Duncan hes only 14 currentley playing at Stanningley very powerful forward with killer step

I thought that Jordan was Lukes brother? I may be wrong though.

I've worked with him a little recently and been impressed. His decision making is very good, he thinks quickly and takes instructions and information on like a sponge!

Should be a lot of young players around without clubs at the moment with all the changes going on. Hopefully we can pick up a few bargains.

Huddersfield have signed mikey wood, elliot morris, tyler dickenson, george croisdale, will carlos, caanaan smithies, zack mccomb, jared simpson, kruise leeming

Is it a requirement at hudds that they have unusual names?

Elliott Morris and George Croisdale are my cousins best mates in school. Quality , my cousin is closer to Croisy than Morris though. And they all attend St John Fisher. Gotta admit I have heard of Kruise Leeming before but don't know what he is like or his style of play :/

there are a few good players knocking around the bulls should snap up jordan gale who i have all ready mentioned joe hudson shaun allen to name just a few. all 3 are in the yorkshire 17s squad .all this talk off just been one academy side {under 19s } clubs are not signing as many players

Have Medders and the rest of the junior/academy coaching staff been re-employed as yet - I've heard nothing about it. People are talking about bringing youngsters in but having a good coaching set up would be a big part of the attraction to a player.

Would those lads, that are under 17 be eligible to play Under 19's? With it being two years above their own age group? It would be mad if they can't, as you can play in Super League at 16, but I know that there used to be a rule that juniors could only play one year above themselves.

I'd agree on all of those players though, particularly Joe Hudson He is some player. His attitude is one of the best I've seen.
