I can honestly say that i have seen a few of these u18 and a few have showed good potential but alot seem to be unsung hero's ie, Josh Rooney, Johnny Brown - Rooney seems to have great strengh and speed and imo think Brown runs hard and great lines with great tackling - sometime i think the full picture should be watch instead of the few indiviuals but yep i agree a great set of lad with good potential

I was surprised and a bit disappointed we let him go. Always thought he had a lot of potential, and we're not exactly well off for centres coming through (O'Donnell and Hughes are really converted 2nd rowers).

I too liked Jamie Acton was very disappointed to hear he had left. Thought he had great potential at centre but then was moved into the second row which is what we seem to do a lot as per Matty Crowe!! Look to have a good one coming through from the under 16s in Oliver Gildart but whether we turn him into a second row only time will tell.

The u18's have some quality players and h havn't been beat for two seasons. The pack is strong and a couple of players who has caught my eye are the loose forward Lever who I believe has played in the 20's this season and Wright the hooker. The 18's side must be the best team in the country at that age.
