Not bad for a kid just turned 20, has a big future imo.

Absolutely superb photos, thanks.

I am happy with the format. Top two get home games, the top four get two bites of the cherry and the bottom half of the playoff teams play sudden death all the way through and if they are good enough to win away from home then they deserve all they get.

Has Kyle Briggs been snapped up by any Super League club for next season ?

It's not a problem at all, just release him and move on.

It may well be the best of the lot, it is sudden death and both teams in good form. I get the feeling Crusaders will be right up for this and the Giants will need to be at their best.

I think Elliott Whitehead should have been on the shortlist, out of those nominated i would say Liam Watts should win it.

Can anyone let us know how Rhys Evans went on his debut ?

At 24years of age he should be able to take his game to a whole new level, my only concern is him playing under Royce Simmons who has a lot to prove imo.

I think there are other Cumbrians such as Ewan Dowes and Peter Lupton, shame Lee Mossop is injured too.

On a scale of 1-10, Dallas Johnson's impact on Super League has been a big fat Zero. They won't miss him at all, i think Trent Robinson will prove to be a very good coach next season.

I'd like to see Kyle Briggs and/or Gareth Moore go down to Quins and show they are up to Super League level.

I'm tipping Wire will regret dropping Myler and Cooper, Myler has been criticised for only being a support player but i think that is underestimated, the ability to sniff out a try is an art and not everybody can do it. Cooper has been playing well and can create second phase play, i would've dropped Higham and Vinnie Anderson, two players who are on their last legs and contribute very little imo.

There's plenty of pace in that Warrington squad and the fact that they have already won a nines tournament this season means that they are the team to beat IMO

The Bulls have named a strong lineup, who else apart from the above have named their teams ?

I don't see it as Cooper v Carvell, i think with Jon Clarke coming back into the reckoning it is more like Mick Higham could miss out along with Vinnie Anderson.

If Myler dosen't make the 4N squad he will be in the England under 20 team to tour New Zealand.

I thought he played his way into the Warrington 17 man team for Wembley, he ran strongly and offloaded at will. Vinnie Anderson to miss out imo, what do you Wire fans think ?

Ah forgot about Olbison, thanks for that. I think Finnigan's birthday is 4/8/89. Gareth Owen can be added to the Salford list, played yesterday aged 17

I cannot remember a season which has featured so many young players, i think it's been a real positive. Bradford Bulls - 7 Jason Crookes, Joe Wardle, Cain Southernwood, James Donaldson, Danny Addy, Elliott Whitehead & Steve Crossley. *Vinny Finnigan debuted at 20 but has since turned 21. Cas Tigers - 8 Richard Owen, Joe Arundal, Jordan Thompson, Joe Westerman, Oliver Holmes, Jon Davies, Jonathon Walker & Adam Milner Catalan - 3 David Guasch, William Barthou, Tony Gigot Crusaders - n/a Quins - 5 Jamie O'Callaghan, Olsi Krasniqi, Martyn Smith, Max Edwards & Ben Bolger. Huddersfield Giants - 2 Michael Lawrence, Adam Walker. *Elliot Hodgson, Keal Carlisle & Josh Griffin all debuted last year aged 18/19 Hull FC - 5 Tom Briscoe, Danny Nicklas, Liam Cunningham & Reece Lyne, Paul McShane (on loan) Hull KR - 5 Liam Watts, Scott Spaven, Josh Charnley (on loan), Scott Taylor & Josh Hodgson. Leeds Rhinos - 6 Kallum Watkins, Chris Clarkson, Jay Pitts, Luke Ambler, Tom Bush, Paul McShane St Helens - 7 Jon Lomax, Jamie Foster, Gary Wheeler, Lee Gaskell, Shaun Magennis, Matty Ashurst, Andrew Dixon Salford Reds - 3 Marc Sneyd, Adam Neal (on loan), Jack Spencer. Wakefield Wildcats - 4 Ben Gledhill, Matt Wildie, Kieran Hyde & Dale Morton Warrington Wolves - 2 Richard Myler, Rhys Williams. Wigan Warriors - 4 Liam Farrell, Sean Ainscough, Ben Davies, Stefan Marsh I make that over 60 players, thats fairly encouraging and then there are plenty of National League clubs such as Widnes who have several youngsters in their lineups.

The Salford Reds have confirmed his signing on a three year contract.

He is a great talent but we must remember he is still only 16, he shouldn't feature for a few years yet.

Great news, is it on the Dragons website yet ?

The past their best duo of Scott Donald and Brent Webb or the young, talented pair of Ben Jones-Bishop and Lee Smith ?

Good to see, On the other hand Wakey had 11 overseas players in their side which was thrashed by Saints on the weekend. I don't see what good that is doing anyone.
