Played 7 yesterday, keep an eye on another young hooker called Logan Moy, fantastic prospect, first year at under 18's this year.

I'd be looking at getting Balmforth into the first team soon, not alot to lose.

Not a chance with this coach. He'll just continue to flog Houghton to death.

I've been saying that for weeks lol

He was good yesterday. His passing close to the line is quality. Defenders have to commit or he runs over them.

There's players ahead of him right now but if we get a few key injuries I think we might see him this year.

How big was that Rovers side though? Their middle three towered over our lads. Credit to our pack for dealing with them.

I didn't see it, I'll watch it on Hull FC live if it comes on, watched him a few times either live and on hullfc live.

Don't think he can be far off, I'd give him a few games, particularly when we are not able to make the play offs and we are safe from relegation.

You arnt the only one who watches academy rugby, wind your neck in lol

If they play, we might see Litten, Walker or Hookem play for Whitehaven tonight, as they play Workington live on premier sports tonight

All three of our kids are in the team tonight for Haven. It's on Premier Sports and the BBC if you are sad like me and and have nother better to do.

Litten is at FB, Walker in the centres and Hookem at hooker.

Fantastic experience for our young players. When you see the intensity and physicality of that match you have to think it's better for their development than the reserves competition where there seems to be a game a fortnight against variable opposition.

How's Ferreira doing out on loan?

Don't think he's playing

Tomorrow's Academy game against Wigan has been postponed.

Shame as that is usually a good yardstick for where our lads are.

After watching the Cas v Saints match tonight, that’s the yardstick. Surely Saints face a censure for that line up.

Barron has joined Whitehaven on a short term loan deal. Similar to Walker, Litten and Hookem.

In hindsight should we have sorted a dual reg agreement with Whitehaven instead of Bradford?

I'm not sure exactly what our relationship is with Haven. We seem to be running Academy events at their ground and I heard talk about a college scheme that sounded a bit like what we have with Bishop Burton. I hope we foster a close relationship with them. They are RL daft in those parts and a bit of an untapped resource.

I wonder with John Kear leaving Bradford if the dual reg arrangement will not be renewed. I guess his relationship with Hull was key to it.

Whitehaven sounds a good option as an alternative.

Just watched the Under 18s match against Huddersfield, and our number 10 was pretty dominant with and without the ball. Looked at the teamsheet, and his surname is Radford - is it Lee's son? Looks pretty good
