SHOULD WE SIGN ANY OF THE 18 YEAR OLD LADS AT THE END OF THIS SEASON?

IF SO WHO ?

I DEFINATELY THINK YOUNG SAM POWELL.

SORRY BUT MY KEYBOARD IS STUCK ON CAPS LOL.

How did you sign up in Lowercase then?

IM ON A DIFFERENT LAPTOP.

Whats with the sherlock holmes questions about caps locks why cant people just answer a simple question on here?

Dont watch the reserves myself but im sure someone like Rogues would be able to answer!

I was only suggesting because using capital font is generally seen as SHOUTING on the internet. It's kind of an unwritten rule that people don't like it. But if his caps lock is broken then fine.



Because the whole message board is a joke and always has been.



To answer the question I'm not sure on Sam Powell. I think Joe Mellor offers more, sadly he still remains injured. Powell still young though in fairness. Greg Burke and Liam Thompson impress me at that level but we need some quality backs not forwards. Also like the looks of Liam Carberry. I think he's a better hooking prospect than Logan Tomkins. Dave Woods was talking during the BBC Commentary on Saturday that Logan might make a third Tomkins in our first team but I'm not seeing it myself. Rogues will probably give you a better opinion.

Elsewhere hard to judge the Under 18s this year. Only seen two games - one was won 76-4 and the other lost abysmally at Saints. Not sure the new system of playing friendlies helps either, they've never had a settled side yet.

Logan will not make the cut I'm afraid, another unfortunately burden due to his surname

If you hold down Shift while you type, it negates Caps Lock being stuck.

I've watched most of the U18's games this year and the lads that stand out as future 1st team prospects are Greg Burke, Ryan King, Matt Russell, Liam Carberry and Danny Bridge.

I would agree with that. Carberry looks as though he could get a game in the first team within two years.

Sam Powell is the best defender for his size that I have seen for a long time, but I like my scrum half to have pace off the mark and good hands. I haven't seen anything from him to suggest he has either.

Logan Tomkins, I'm still a little unsure. He has certainly improved this season, but will he go all the way? I think we'll have to wait and see.

When's Joe Mellor likley to return to playing?

I'd be interested to see him play/develop in the under 20's.

They've been very quiet about his injury (unless I've missed something).

Anyway we're going to need to sign up a lot of youngsters if you are to believe t thread on the VT.

Really
