To be fair the club are hardly likely to describe their own player as poor either

rlLogan Inrl Lancaster out

Try for Jack Logan

10-8 to England after 30 minutes, sounds like Australia the stronger though.

Abdull assist for Turgut try.

Abdull bomb too good for Aussies to handle, they fumble and Turgut chips for Ward try. Abdull coverts. Abdull should be MOM according to radio.

That said, Australia sounding strong.

What's the score Mrs B ? - sorry not been following.

22-14 England.

Make that 28-14 following try from Johnson and "brilliant" conversion from Abdull 5 metres from touch line.

Finished 28-14. Abdull steering us round the park with excellent kicking, Turgut captain, Logan on scoresheet. Proud night for FC's academy.

Quote: Staffs FC "Thanks for the updates fantastic night for England Academy and a massive shot in the arm for Hull FC's youth policy The commentators were very positive about Abdull's skill and leadership. Great job, Radders. Some selection headaches with Pryce, Sneyd and Westerman in front of him. www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Jordan-A ... story.html

Great result for England Academy and pleasing to see the Hull FC boys playing their part.

tonight is one of the first really visible signs that the investment in the academy under AP is beginning to pay off. yes we've had some encouraging displays in superleague from a few youngsters but this game showed some of our young players are up there with the best the game can offer. with a few more waiting in the wings the future is bright.

well done to all the england players tonight, this aussie team was hyped as something special before the series started, the future of NRL and Kangaroo rugby if you like. we've just matched them

Gives some vindication to the change of policy under Radford.
The signing of the young players is more exciting than the signing of any overseas player.
Looking forward to them kicking on in the black and white.

A terrific result for England and a real boost for the FC youngsters. I expect great things from these lads and, as others have said, it looks like AP's youth policy is starting to bear fruit.
