As per usual no mention of the under 19’s game on the clubs website or social media.

Wigan today is probably the most important game of the season so far and as a club we can not even be d to mention the young lads. Advertisement and marketing for the 19’s & 16’s games has been awful the past couple of years.

If cost saving is the main reason for the academy merger then why has not better game advertisement, marketing and game day management been used. 500+ attendances on a Saturday afternoon at a venue in Hull, not out at Bishop Burton should be easily achieved. With this level of footfall then with gate money, refreshments, merchandise sales, game sponsorship, match ball sponsorship, and a raffle etc a substantial lump could be raised at each home game that would go to off-setting the academy running costs.

Potentially academy and scholarship games could be huge money makers for the club. if someone at the club could just be bothered with the academy.

You should be proud of your 19s. Every game against saints this year has been a belter, but saints always just having that little too much.

Saints also had a couple of key players last night, and we're a little rusty at first dropping the ball a couple of times and poor dicsaplin.

Hull despite lacking a few came to play and looked strong. I particularly like Ross Osbourne the prop. I think he's been Hulls outstanding forward every time I've seen hull. I rate him much higher that mashi and was stunned that he got his debut ahead of Ross.

You've got some cracking good players coming through, the future should be bright for Hull.

Thanks for that. Sounds like your guys are top with good reason. Do you play Wigan in the final? Good luck if so!

No, Wigan finished top by 6pts they play Warrington later today.

Should be a cracking final assuming Wigan win.

Wigan won 46-16
