Although on this form, I'd take Bradford at home

Featherstone
Hull KR
Leeds
St Helens
Harlequins
Catalan
Shuddersfield(Probably)
Swinton
Wakefield
Bradford
Salford
Widnes
Castleford
Warrington
Wigan

Take your pick, Ill say Hull FC at home to Salford. Hull KR away to Castleford.

Judging on recent years we'll get Hudds or Warrington.

Happy with that.

could've been worse

called warrington v swinton just before the draw, how much luck do they need in this comp!!

Spot on, perfect outcome from the game.

Good praise from Agar today for Kent and Aldous?

From a fans point of view how do you think they went?

Thought they went alright. Aldous did a big stint and seemed to run strong, never stopped giving 100%. I heard Agar saying he got there a few hours before the game becuase he was so nervous

Liam did well, ran some good lines and barely missed a tackle. I know he's been waiting for his chance and I hope the club keep him on and play him as much as possible in the 1st team.

at the expense of whom?

Not at expense of anyone, or at least until they are injuried. As I say, as much as possible. Meaning if/when one of our back rowers get injured, I hope he gets his shot in the SL.

Apologies, it read like he was possibly better than someone else, if we want Kent et al to develop then we need to be blending them into the first team now, the club must know the players that aren't in their plans for next season, gradually edge them out and bring the youngsters in.

Kent has been 18th man twice and played 1st team once now, barring Lyne this is the most out of any U20 player. Makes me think Hull are thinking he may be one of the few they want to keep on FT next season.

I can see a few of them getting frustrated soon having been FT for 2 seasons and not getting their chance.

Indeed, I know Dowes has surprised with his start to the season but, realistically, he wont be with us next season, could Aldus do his job, or is he not at that level, and if he isn't, how does he get there without playing?

it's a conundrum
