Well done to Wigan and Wire. Large part of the squad from 2 teams. Anyone know who got man of the match?

James Laithwaite was the official MoM

Yup. It'll be interesting to see how many of those players become first team regulars at Warrington. This will be the first lot of young players that will see Warrington as a viable alternative to signing for other clubs like a lot have in the past.

I'd be happy if I was a cas fan, that young hooker played really well, same type of player as Lee Jackson. Danny Bridge looked tidy running out wide too, is he Chris Bridge's brother? He was there with a few other players.

Brilliant result. Well done to all involved.


Aussies falling apart when things not going their way. Who'd have thought.

Yup Adam Milner looked fantastic with the limited gametime he got last year. Expecting a big season from him this term.

As for the team: 17 players coming from just 6 Super League clubs is pathetic...

Incredible when you consider that the team that won last years Academy didn't have a single representative in the team. I wouldn't get sanctimonious if I were you as clearly there should have been more clubs represented, the question is why and what's the point in being champions?

You really are a one eyed supporter.

Sorry, what?

I can't understand his rant either. I thought you made a valid point, to be honest, although if you take away Crusaders and Catalans that's 50% of Super League represented.

Vasty. For you to call anyone one eyed is unbelievable! I present you with the FACTS. You may not like them but once again I will show you up.

2 of the representatives Adam Milner GB captain and Jordan Thompson (scored the try that got them back in the game off good work from Milner) CAME THROUGH THE TRINITY SCHOLARSHIP. Do not look for excuses your club let them go.

Trinity won the Academy league a couple of years back, fantastic. The fact of the matter is though that while Trinity were playing the 18's at that level most other clubs were using them in the 21's. Wakefield had a shocking set of 21's the year they won the comp and promoted nobody.

Another Wakefield Scholarship lad has just signed signed for Wigan and is regarded as the best half back of his age group,

Its time clubs realised winning trophies at this level count for NOTHING. Developing players s what its all about. Many of the lads today have had a shot a first team, the Trinity lads from the winning season have not.

The youth set up at Trinity is so poor you have to recruit the likes of Penny, Vievers, Johnson and the lad from Hull whose name escapes me. Where are the Academy champions?

Do not look for excuses, nobody is to blame but Trinity themselves, and please consider you own stance prior to calling anyone one eyed.

Yes he is Chris's brother.

Milner looked very good when he played last year and hopefully will be getting plenty of game time this year, been told that another young hooker we have called clarke has even more potential which bodes well for the future.
