James Healy is the grandson of George Balantyne ( great Trinity prop ), he had a great season with our under 18`s last season and with the help of Squadbuilder signed for our under 19s this season. He was selected for the Scotland under 18s last season. He is a non nonsense prop , like his Grandad, but has a good bit of pace. I think he had a season with the Leeds under 15s, he played for Hunslet Parkside and was picked up by Trinity having been scouted by John Holroyd and Tony Dury. Just hope that he will not suffer because of the stupid new system where under 19`s is the last age group / team before the first team.

Anyone know his height and weight (imperial please).

Just checking he isn't a midget and all that.

Seriously though I am interested.

George Ballantyne had plenty of pace.
Often devastating when running out wide.

Thanks for that. Hopefully he will show enough in the coming season to show that he is worth a fulltime deal after it. It seems to be that good young english props are thin on the ground.

I was Joshs club coach for 4 years, he' an outstanding prospect, though had an op last week and will miss out on boxing day.

Coached James on scholarship a few years ago and he was a big lad then, pretty mobile hard working forward.

james healey is a good prospect and and abig lad aswell but so was adam gledhill one of two lads offered fulltime last season unless the club value young uns withe more respect this seasons lot will go the sameway

Lets hope Wakey knock him backwards with rest of Whinos.

Good luck James all the Red, White & Blue will be behind you & the rest of the team 100% on Boxing Day! Hope you have a good game and a good season.

Anybody know if the game is on the Radio tomoz as the supporters club are not doing a Bus to the game

Anyone driving to the game, or know headingley.. where is the best place to park?
cheers in advance

I usually park on Argie street just off kirkstall road, very steep hill so get as close to the top as possible.
Leaves about a five or ten minute walk to the ground. Usually plenty of space and easy to get away from after the game

must say the pitch looked well, can't understand why they would lay another down for the cars to churn it up

Could I just mention that anyone who sees the work that Squadbuilder do and thinks 'I would like to be part of that' can still do so. We have not pushed the brand too much in the last couple of years, but many still contribute and the results are there as there are several players coming through or on the verge of first team footy who have been helped along the way.

To those who think the club should do more, here is one way you can make a small difference for the sake of a couple of quid a week or whatever value you demise.

Squadbuilder is independant, but has ties to the Supporters Trust. If you are interested, PM either myself or feline and we'll get you sorted!
