Joe Brown : Fri May 13, 2016 9:23 am  

What a great achievement by the Bulls Academy fullback Joe Brown to make the England u/18 Academy team. I think I am right in saying he is only 17 and seems to have come from nowhere to gain selection as he wasn't in the original 30 man squad.

Can he play 7?

With our current options, he may get a chance at fullback for the first team.

Still I bet they've got a "Picture of You!"

He and Brandon Pickersgill are both great prospects. Joe is one of a few first years in the U19s. The future is bright provided we hang onto them.

I bet they only got picked because they sound so northern.

So they'll be in the Huddersfield squad by 2018.

Think Joe got U16s player of the year last year. From the highlights I saw of the 16s last year (not managed to watch many highlights of 19s this year) he reminded me a bit of Sam Tomkins. Certainly got huge potential.

He was U16 player of the year that's right.

From Stanningley IIRC.
