The players not selected were all dropped, the team hasnt been winning or performing as a team! It was an increadibly bold and brilliant piece of coaching from Hendo dropping high profile players...he picked the same 17 to play twice in 4 days in two of the toughest games and they won both, not only that the performed as a team...they out scored Toulouse and defended 12 sets in first half uphill against Batley and didnt let them score. Only changes will be due to injury... Kear looks to be out for another week.

Like I said Hendo (+ Staff) and players selected deserve huge raps for Easter they have got us back on track for top 4

No place for Sammut

Tomorrow The Academy game kicks off at noon. Let us get behind the lads by turning up early. They have been playing well and getting some good results too. So please give them your support.

Hear hear Bostwick!
Will be there for the young 'uns game , M25 traffic permitting

I have to say how well the Academy team played. Jamie Langley has done a really good job with this squad and they showed no fear and put the Hull Combined Academy to the sword , wonderful.
The Under 16s may have lost, but what a performance. They kept up with Leeds right up to the last ten minutes or so and scored some outstanding tries. Leeds just had too much at the end but there was no shame in losing to them.
As a fans we should have real pride in our Academy and U16s. Most of the teams they play have played RL since infancy, most of our lads have just pick the game up over the last few years. Further the parents need praise too, because their commitment is vital, so well done to all.
I would also congratulate the U16s who have been given Academy contracts and give my good wishes and thanks to those who have not.

Agree with all you say Bostwick
