VALVOLINE CUP U20's
SALFORD v BRADFORD
Friday 18th May, 2012
17.30 hrs Kick-off
(New signing Luke Towers makes his SCR debut)

It would be a great help if a team sheet was available for these U20s games

Because the score board is never in use....

Another good win 54-16. Think Evalds ended with 5 tries?

Yes another great win for the lads,really promising group of youngsters.Joint top of their league ive been told,well done Alan Hunte and his staff.

Sill not good enough for the first team though!!!!!

Our forwards were disgusting today, Boyle and Nero deary deary me, get a couple of the 20's in now.

Looking at our next few fixtures. I wouldn't think about putting in any more of the youngsters until we play Castleford on the 10th June. Against Huddersfield and Catalans, the youngsters will get physically battered by much bigger opposition. They need to be dripped in against teams at our end of the table, not those competing at the top.

[iAnother good solid performance by our young guns last night again the Bulls.[/i

How did Luke Towers get on? It's great to see the 20s doing so well, hope some of this can filter through into the first team.

Luke Towers did really well, especially considering hes not been in the country long, stood out to me along with a few other lads. Well done lads and well done to Spanner, your obviously doing a fab job.
The first team could learn alot from these lads, the last time i saw the 1st team play with the passion, confidence and skills these lads have was in the national league.

Whats with Theo Fages?? He signs a new 5 year deal & not seen him play since was told hes injured spoke to him at game last night & he said he is ok whats going on??? Come on Salford not had this much interest in the 20s for years & think its down to the fans interest in this guy aswell as the great rugby they play.

Not gonna play every game with Whitehead/Evalds/Sneyd also going for a place at half back.

And he is only 17 so no need to burn him out

I think Theo was rested, like O.Q.R says no need to burn him out, he has been carrying a shoulder injury for a few weeks and he picked up a toe injury last week so I think it was just precautionary.

He bagged 4, Brotherton got 3, and Ford, Whitehead and Marriott got the others. Veivers got 4 goals (What position did he play?) and Sneyd 3.

He played wing, with Towers at full back, but they swapped for the last 15 mins.
