From RFL Website
6/6/10 Hull KR team which lost 12-50 vs Widnes

Alex Everitt; James Maughan, Curtis Pullan, Liam Salter, Sam Watson; Luke Hardcastle, Nathan Slater; Callum Taylor, Joe Gay, Adam Sunman, Sam Jowsey, Jordan Cox, Aaron Ollett. Subs. Rowan Colquhoun, Matthew York, Lloyd Ofori, Scott Eggleton

22/5/10 Hull KR team which won 32-28 vs St Helens

Hull KR: Luke Hardcastle; James Maughan, Curtis Pullen, Rowan Colquhoun, Sam Watson; Kristian Bell, Nathan slater; Callum Taylor, Joe Gay, Sam Jowsey, Liam Salter, Aaron Ollett, Dave Petersen. Subs. Alex Everitt, Adam Surman, Lloyd Ofori, Matthew York.

By my reckoning 15 of the 17 that played and beat St Helens played against Widnes. Yes, some players were missing - or went missing

To be fair to Hull KR they missed Kristian Bell badly who is a great talent and away with England academy at the moment.

They where demolished on the day though.

How none of our 18's made that squad is hard to take. Seems to be the same old story though at those levels.

Do you have a few lads from Leigh scholarship in the 18's?

Not that I can see in the 18's but Jonny Youds has been on the bench for the reserves of late having been released by Salford.

Ex- Leigh scholarship isnt he ?

I believe that may be the 3, as you are aware we weren't allowed to run an 18's but have plenty of that age group in our reserves who are doing well.

Who said you couldn't run an u18's?

If I remember correctly you were stopped from running an u18's back in 2007 because the RFL were not happy about things during the 2006 season. Then when you were allowed to you chose not to because the RFL said if you want to run an u18's then you have to run an u21's 1st. To get around this you wanted to run a joint u21's with Wigan. This would have minimal financial outlay for the u21's thus allowing you put your resources into the u18's. When the RFL quite rightly said no to the Wigan scheme Leigh knew full well that they wouldn't be able to afford to run both an u21 and u18's and with the RFL saying the u21's come 1st, you didn't really have much choice. No-one has actually stopped you from running an u18's though have they? Its more of a case of the fact you can't afford to run 2 academy teams. I bet if Leigh had it their way they would drop their u21 and just run an u18's instead.
