I think that's Matt Ryan from Wakey

Ethan Ryan is a centre and was the BullBuilder U19 player of the month for June.

This game has very little riding on it other than gaining momentum for the Middle 8s, but there's a week off next week anyway. I'd rest one of our two best props, and as Clough was rested against Sheffield, I'd give Sidlow a rest for this one. I'd give Halafihi some game time too and give O'Brien a bit of a rest.

Fair enough, havent really followed the U19 team.

Might as well give him some game time then

He's a full back and a good prospect imo, bit of a live wire. Maybe this is just a first brush with warming up with the first team but I'd give him a go tbh.

Seems to be standard practice last few years to give
One or two of best u19s a go in last game of season.

Yeah, that's right, it is. Nothing to lose and much to be gained, imo.

He was in 19 for Hunslet away

I know this is effectively dead rubber but it would be nice to see the side take the enthusiasm shown versus Leigh into this game. Once again without our main playmakers and I expect this will be an equally tough a test if not tougher. Halifax are pretty desperate to beat us so I fully expect a fired up performance from their team.

It'd be nice to enter the middle 8's on the back of two strong performances.

I'm sure their fans would be desperate to beat us but I'm not really certain whether, from an eights pov, the club itself would be that bothered.

They're secure in the top four and I'm sure they'll want to make a go of the eights so, if I were them I'd be looking to maybe rest a couple of players rather than go all out to win a meaningless, no account, dead game like this. My biggest worry is that we come out of the game with injuries.
