With the pack we started with a bit worrying

50 minutes Newcastle 16 Trinity 6, Bailey Try, Hooley goal

70’ A young Trinity side battling well here. All U19’s on the pitch except Hooley, Baldwinson and Kershaw. (16-6)

FULL TIME: Newcastle 16-6 Trinity. (T: Bailey. G: Hooley 1/1).

Absolutely nothing to be taken out of that game other than we have a few younger lads who look like they could be on the scene sooner rather than later.

Into Hudds!

"Absolutely nothing to be taken out of that game", seriously ??

Only the chance for Chester and his staff to see just who ay be ready to go on to the next level.
For U19's to play against blokes is a great test for them and is a couple of steps up for most and it will pay massive dividends over the next couple of seasons. Very similar to the game at Batley last season, both in terms of squad and result, although there were a few more senior players today.

Wrencat Do you struggle to read or something? What does literally the very next part of my sentence go on to say?

TBf mate I think that’s what he’s saying. Badly worded first sentence syndrome - boy I know that one

I enjoyed the game, particularly the 2nd half. I don't get to see the U19s very often and I thought some of the newly contracted lads showed there's some decent talent to come through!

No worries mate, it just looked really negative, which seemed harsh on the lads who had busted a gut for the club.

I agree, sorry for confusion.

Newcastle had some good and experienced heads out there, didn’t realise they’d signed Misi taulapapa either (although he is 36 lol).

All in all I should have problably said it means nothing with regards to the super league campaign. Wouldn’t mind seeing some of the lads in our first team squad in the not so distant future.
