Damn - that's alot of friendlies.

 

[Mulch]

Hull FC vs Hull KR has been cancelled.

 

[bartman]

Just announced as back on, I think you'll find Mulch. KR are now happier with their slice of the day's proceeds...

it should draw a massive crowd aswell, last year about 15,000 turned up.

Cheers R8, now edited in.

Here's hoping Barrie doesn't do himself an injury going around for his final official game!

Leeds fans will be hoping he doesn't injure any of their players;-)

Leeds 42 Wakefield 18
Widnes 24 Warrington 18
Castleford 28 Featherstone 4

 

[RLdan]

i went the widnes match and not been bias i think we played awesome, if we play like that then we should have no problem in the NL1

 

[bartman]

Cheers JasonE. Good starts there for Widnes and Leeds?

 

[JasonE]

No Worries

Dewsbury beat Batley 48-12 as well.

 

[bartman]

Excellent. Just back from hols but couldn't find that result on my first look around.

 

[Evil Homer]

Halifax 22-22 Huddersfield U21s

 

[bartman]

Cheers EH. Any good U21 prospects that might make seniors this year?

If i can add my bit to that question bartman, i think the best bet would be Tom Hemingway 19, who is a fairly skillful 6 or 7. He played a few games in 2005 and looked impressive, esp against Bradford Bulls.
I've seen a little bit of winger/centre Luke George 17, fullback Leroy Cudjoe 17, and backrower Simon George 19 who all look like good athletes but 2006 may well be a season to soon for them.

 

[bartman]

Good stuff Jason. If Huddersfield can hold on to their young talent as it's coming through, then that might help them survive at top level past the 2009 changes. Team success would also help local interest and crowd levels as well.
