The young prop was fantastic, big drives, great defence and very fit, played nearly all the first half, my mate who I was with said he has been playing open age with Norland and been causing all kind of problems against adults. Not sure were he has come from, but heard he hasn't been in the country for long, certainly one to keep an eye on.

Really impressed with Charlie Johnson, made a massive impact.

Not much between the teams, Rovers very work man like, but I though Hull just had that extra skill in the halfs, HTW and Dean both had good games, their skill set is already better than all our first team halfs, just need to develop physically.

Was Radford there?

Yes..came in just before KO

Apparently the big prop is 18. Even still, his physique is impressive for a lad that age. Most impressive was 10 minutes from time having played at least 50 minutes he chased an Abdull kick down 60 metres and was there first with Logan & Stark.

Thanks, though he would be saw Chester and a few players from both teams.

I have Johnson and Mantago training with the first team.

Murdock was there, I bet it won't be long before he has Matonga signed on.

Certainly doesn't skip chest day in the gym that lad. It's good to see the 2 props with the least 'hype' about them clearly been the standout forwards tonight.

A Stanley Gene 16 more like

Theres a couple of players similar in the H&D leagues, very physically mature for there years. Ones 6 ft 2 or taller at age 13.

Johnson i heard they dont think he is tall enough !

The other kid, although i havent seen his performance tonight i saw the last 2 home games and he didnt stand out

Type of kids that get hindered by playing against kids their own age because they don't need to learn any core skills as they get by purely on their size and strength.

We should sign him, if for nothing other than to hear the commentators attempt to pronounce his name

He went OK, scored a nice try at the end, thought it was strange to play a top halfback prospect at hooker though.

I didn't think any of the Rovers players stood out, all looked hard working and solid.

Hallett showed a couple of touches, he is a big lad and has a perfect size for a centre, just based on that performance, I would say that those two will make SL players, not sure about the rest.

I though Logan looked good, he was very vocal, you would have thought he was the captain, the way he spoke. Had a big part in the first two trys (in which he ended up scoring the first).

Though Stark drove very well and made one hell of a one on one tackle in the first half.

Was Hallett their number 3? He looks half decent. Connor Robinson did nothing apart from that try at the end.
Was quite strange that we constantly dropped Dean back to field Rovers kicks, did a lot of graft for a HB.

He was wasted playing at 9, the best part about Rovers game was they energy in defence especially the first half. There wrestling in the tackle was fantastic. But second half they looked shattered.

Yeah the big ginger lad. Dean went to FB as Nicklin went off injured.
