Our youngsters are finding out about now whether their future is with giants or not. It sounds like millar will not be remaining at the club.
A young lad currently in the 15s is being groomed to be the next brough. Alongside Isaac Farrell we could have a very good half back pairing by the sounds!
Connor and leeming look to be the next to make regular first team spots - Quite a few of our U19s will be quite young next year so it could be difficult for them.

Why isn't Miller staying; a better offer elsewhere?

miller didnt look good enough to me for super league from what i had seen

We can judge that from one game ??

Good job the big clubs don't have that attitude with their young players !!

Maybe if we had actually given him some Super League game time we would have had an idea how good is he, but as usual he will leave our club without actually having had a chance !!

We have given him game time Daz- I've seen him play lots of times- and I said earlier this year I didn't think he had what it takes. A good kicking game but otherwise a solid average player in the 19s. Should we have him sitting in the stands paying him a wage in the off chance he suddenly blossoms- as he will be too old for 19s next year?
Perhaps he's decided he doesn't want to be paid a pittance to sit in the stands next year and wants to pursue an alternative career.

But how has playing essentially amateur/park rugby led us to see what he can offer at SL level, did we give up on Bruno, Eorl, Jerry, Leroy etc after 1 game ? no we gave them a chance to blossom and improve by playing a higher level.

I agree what your saying but i just dont think we give our youngster enough time - instead of one or 2 games when theyre 18/19 and then getting rid because their too old for the '19's, why dont we start giving these guys 1st team chances in cup games or certain SL games and giving them some SL experience rather than expecting them to become great players playing at YMCA against other team's not good enough kids ?

every body develops at different speeds we shouldn't be writing off any one at 19
with the big increase in the sky money the game should bring back the under 21 or even a under 24

You can tell daz- likes of Dickinson, Leeming and Connor stand out a mile in the 19s- there's a couple of other you get players who look like they can be a cut above also. If they aren't standing out at 19s they aren't going to suddenly go great guns at a higher level!
I agree players may develop later- but we can't afford wages for all our players too old for the 19s who "might" come good!

So why haven't those 3 who do stand out been given a chance yet then ? a proper chance not 1 or 2 games when there's injuries ? other clubs have 18,19 year olds as regulars in their squads all the time.

Spot on again Daz. we'd rather bring players like Ellis in from Cas rather than give our young un's a go. We rather they go to Warrington ala Toby King who's getting some SL gametime at 18yr old? Couple years.down the line we'll be shipping Ellis off to Fev or Batley!!!

Flying - your example is a poor one- Toby king has had one game against London- he's hardly been playing every week! And daz two of those three probably would have been given a proper chance this season but have only just come back from injury!
Tyler is only 17- not many 17yr old prop forwards playing every week in SL are there!!!!! It's easier to stick youngsters on the wing than put them in at prop or in a technical position. I don't think as a club we are doing much different to others. And it doesn't appear we are making mistakes. Not many of our youngsters that your whinging don't get a chance even go on to play championship RL let alone play for another SL team. It's difficult for us as a club to get the most promising youngsters in the first place with other clubs often getting first pick. Wigan is already sniffing round our promising scholarship half back

seen him play in the 19's too not just one game in SL.
