There’s loads of games on Trinity TV featuring Pratt (who’s still at school but played centre, wing and full back) and Joe Law (who plays as a wide running forward) also Butterworth, who played mostly at half but also at full back…and a few of this years academy playing in both academy and reserve grade

Also noticed a few of our new scholarship groups hail from Tyneside

Yes just looking at the new acadamy squad , i see we have a 'Sinfield'

But the name that jumps out to me is ED HUNTER , i hope he makes it to SL , he would be a comentators dream

Got to be, not a common name.

Ed Hunter, classic.

I'm really excited to see how he develops in a few years. Watching him at academy level (mainly as fullback) he was head and shoulders te best player on the park most games. He's still young so probably won't get much game time this year but when he develops a bit more physically and gets a couple of years experience playing open age I think he will be a great player.

Some great talent in the North East and generally it’s a good hunting ground for us.

Gateshead Thunder are a well run community club and have a very good relationship with Trinity.

Think we have lads from the North East in every level of our age group development systems.
