I only saw first team rugby last season. Can anyone suggest any young lads who could step up to the first team next season. Heard good things about a lad called Juddah Mazive but not seen him play.

Good kid,only 16 I believe,having watched nearly all of the 19s games last season,I thought he was the most improved,but he's far from first grade at the mo,but if he keeps listening and improving,who knows.His position is winger,with the odd FB start.

He's a second year Academy player so U18

Explosive player who has great footwork and speed, he supports players very instinctively and scores a lot of tries off it.

Not ready for 1st team football for a good couple of years or more imo

Frazer Morris (Prop Forward) - Big strong lad & Cleared up at the awards night - Should be giving him a deal.
Harry Swan ( / Second Row) - Another big lad, get him into shape and he could definitely make it.
Bradley Moules (Hooker) - We gave him a 1 year deal last season for the first team - Didn't play but he has the potential to make it first grade.

Also heard good things bout Ben Cornell (Hookers) & Scott Flemming (Half Back) too, along with the already mentioned Judah Mazive.

Harry is no longer with us.

I haven't seen the young uns for a couple of years but I do keep hearing Ben Cornell's name mentioned by those in the know.

Young lad James Bachelor was giving a trial this season and has impressed. Scored in his first 3 games.

Said it before, it's a shame we couldn't bring Corbyn Kilday back to the club.

I think Swindon bound.

That's a shame. Looked promising

Also a shame that the website doesn't have all the profiles on. But I'm sure I can forgive the club for this one!

Over the next 3 or 4 years I'd like us to have a fair few more Academy products in the first team.

Max Jowitt, Tom Johnstone, Jordan Crowther & Chris Annakin, and hopefully Ben Shulver, all have the ability to nail down a First Team spot. Just hope we carry it on and introduce some more.

Wigan had 10/17 in the grand final squad, whilst Leeds had 8/17 in theirs - that we're Academy products.
One day!!

Although we should aspire to have the same number of quality junior Wigan or Leeds, having 5 of our own who will all play some first team rugby, is a massive step forward for Trinity.
I cant remember the last time we were in this position.
Of course, the key is to try and add a couple youngsters each year until we get a strong nucleus of home grown players and their presence will certainly help encourage others.
Under Smiths guidance, they are all certain to improve which can only be good for the club.

Worth noting that the big clubs get a lot of praise for promoting their own - whilst the majority of them are exactly not that - hence clubs like Wakefield struggle to hang on to the best ones.

Ryan Hampshire - Wigans own???
