It's a mixture of first team and youth, think we have the perfect opportunity for the youth to gain valuable experience at SL level in a game where we shouldn't worry too much about the result, the business has been done to give us the best opportunity in decades to achieve the ultimate goal for any season.

Lots of things going right at our club, and I for one am looking forward to celebrate this today

A mix is putting it kindly but as when Salford turned up at the John Smiths it could get very humiliating. To be fair Salfords kids battled well if ours can or will is anyones guess.

well was good to see the youngsters yesterday, not a great performance though, expected a little bit better.

out of the youngsters, i like the the look of connor, looks like he could be a future star.

as for the rest, blagbrough did ok too.

miller is too small and was swatted off far too easily, aspinall i have seen twice now and not seen anything to think he will make it as a super league regular.

fairbank and cording were both poor too, these should of shown up better, but on a day when your pack is beaten its hard.

knew sammut and lulia would have a field day, especially lulia up against george...george is the shadow of his former self, glad he leaving. Never will be a centre, his defence is poor and he is lazy at times.

Harsh on a young kid. He is bound to lack physical size. Players like Sammut often swat off bigger and more experienced players. What is mor eimportant at this age is the skill set. Size will come later

and robinson is strong in defence, hopefully it will come in time but dont think we will see him super league for a good while.

thought leeming was poor too really...didnt show much spark but like i say hard on a day when you are getting beaten

bit hard to judge individuals on a day like yesterday, all the players we had out yesterday have potential, its whether they realise that potential that matters.
if one or 2 of them get games in the first team then it can only benefit them, playing almost the entire u19's in a super league game is no way to judge individual players.

Robinson is 29 Miller is 18.

11 years of weight training will build him up !

yeh true just going by what i have seen so far.... like the look of connor and blagbrough yest

but i liked the look of elliot hodgson who got MOM on his debut and hes now playing for huddersfield RU!

hopefully these youngsters knuckle down and have the right attitude to fulfill their potential

Was to be expected to be honest, what was disappointing was the performance of the 'squad' players, thought some of them didnt give the young kids the help they needed, Connor was one of the kids i've really been looking forward to seeing and he impressed me, Leeming looked decent too and the forwards tried their best but ultimately it was men against boys and it showed. Still it gave the Bulls fans something to cheer, and the ones behind us were celebrating like they'd won the WCC ( although to be fair they were great after the game wishing us luck and stuff) ......let's not forget it wasn't that long ago our 1st team were getting hammered by that kind of score.

A lot of our fans were getting on the kids' backs yesterday saying we should have had more 1st teamers in but i think that experience, although a hammering, will have been a great occasion for them and i think getting on their backs wasn't needed.

I thought a lot of the lads turned up well

A lot of the first half tries against us came directly through Luke George I think, who just didnt look interested - and showed why he hasnt played much this season

The young forwards hit the ball up well, and all teh team often got their nose through the line, the main problem was a lack of experience and we were up against a team in good form - especially Sammut who was in the mood to score and would have done the same thing to a lot of teams in SL

Made up with the performance, a -16 Bradford handicap earnt me a few quid.

hope it doesnt take 11 years! will end up another hemingway otherwise

quite a few were on

i got -12 !

Licence to print money. Considered Hull KR v London today, as London were given a +10 but bottled it last minute.
