The Dragons have named a strong team for the game tomorow v St Helens. They have an Australian u18 player in the backrow, SG ball player of the year in the centres and most of the others have played at a high level.
Tough game first up for your boys, looking forward to a big day tomorrow, The Australian WC squad are having their final training run before leaving for England then the Junior Kangaroos play the Junior Kiwis in a test match.
After its St Helens v St George Dragons.

They can't be looking forward to this, it's about 36 degrees and windy, awful conditions for RL

60-14 to St George

Re: Saints youth tour to Australia : Sun Oct 13, 2013 10:37 am  

I've seen 2 scores. 36-10 and 60-14. I've read on twitter it was 36-10 at full time but, they played an extra 30 mins to put the youngest players on. Although, it's disappointing to lose. It isn't as bad as 60-14.

Poor day all round for St Helens, beaten by a bigger, stronger team played in 3 x 30 minute thirds.
A major problem for Sts was so many injuries, the hooker Aaron Smith went off after about 10 minutes followed by Dave Hewitt 5minutes later.
Lewis Sheridan & Jonah Cunningham also came off injured

St George were physically way more advanced but i believe most of your players were the u/16 team.
Ricky Bailey look like he could be a real star and i thought Danny Richardson look like he had a bit of class about him.

Thanks for the info. The whole squad is a mixture of the u16s team and the youngest players from the u19s team. So there will have been players playing with each other for the first time.

Hopefully they will gell and get better as the tour goes on.

Are you sure about Lewis Sheridan? I thought he left Saints last year.

Dissapointing but Ricky Bailey will be a top player. Was playing for England RU U15's 18 months ago.

Do you think he'll stay at Saints or go back to Rugby Union?
