Quote: mark_m "Incidentally the U16s lost to Leeds 34-24 last Saturday over at Stanningley, looked like Leeds would run away with it at one point but the team stuck in there and closed the gap as the game progressed. However, Warrington elected to rest their four England players as they had been away all week on a training camp whilst Leeds played all their five representative players so the end result may have been different. All told a good performance anyway as Leeds are always very strong at this age group, it will be an interesting match next time out against Wigan at Wilderspool.'"
Yes, I saw that result but was waiting for the match report to see the team. That is a good performance if the England players were out - I think Reece Brunt played though ?
I was looking through the stats on the current U16 squad and it looks as though from the 37 players in 2013 we have released 18, retained 12 for this year and promoted 7 to the U19's. That is quite a rate of attrition, but also pretty normal for a squad at that age.
