Went down to another heavy defeat 18 - 54.
6 - 32 at half time.

That's played three lost three.
It looks as though it could be along season for these young players.

Is this age group just not as good as the ones that have gone before them or is it a case of the best of them playing for the under 20's?

It seems to be the new intake for the U 18's and most of them appear to be at the younger end of the scale. i thought they put in a spirited effort in the second half though.

A bit of both.

This U18's looks the weakest we have produced in many years.

How did Rovers U18's look. Alot came from our U16's this year so still quite young even for the U18's.

Thought your 13 ( Bell?) and 11 ( Pullen?) did well and your stand off (Beharrel?) controlled a lot of play. Wingman ( Mauchan?) looked strong as well.

The score was reflective of the game. HKR looked stronger in most areas, the winger Maughan and stand off Scott were very good.

Thanks gents.

Slater and Bell from Hull KR both played in a pre season friendly at Halifax for first team

They have played 4 games and conceded on average 42.5 points per match. Your not going to compete with anyone doing stuff like that. It could end up being like [url=http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=968=#FF00002003![/url

Reading Bilko's site I see the under 16's and 15's season starts soon. I know it's hard to say before a ball's even been kicked, but how are those two sides shaping up? For those in the know, have we recruited well? The competition for these young lads between ourselves, Saints and Wire must be fierce.
