Great to see Hull Academy are touring Australia in 2027, he will be in that tour.

Yes and they could’ve had more if not for injury. Chris Matagi is a year younger as is Zak Lloyd who is a beast. They played together at Siddal.

If Lucy Murray’s shoulder is no good and Ruby Walker is out for a while then I could see Huddersfield really thinking they are a big chance against Leeds. The three quarter line was horrendous yesterday. I don’t know what Lois is playing at, she had a second rower playing centre, a half on the wing and another half playing centre. If that isn’t weird enough then Bella Sykes playing prop is just crazy. I love Bella as a player but she is either a backrower or hooker.

Yes it didn’t go Matty’s way today but he tackled his heart out. I’d say he didn’t have much left in the tank.

Agree in that I don’t think Lois is a good coach, she is more suited to development roles. I think we will see the best of Leeds in a few months time when they get Beevers, Cousins, Owen & Enright back. It will be interesting to see if Grace Field can ever get back to her best.

Does anyone know which players have left Swinton ?

I watched the whole game, Wigan have addressed their weaknesses from last year. They have added some size & power up front to get them on the front foot and their depth is very good. Bring on the Cup semi final v Leeds.

Players for Yorkshire unlucky to miss out imo are Alfie Leake - Bradford prop. Jacob Algar - Giants prop Elliott Middlemas -Hull FC winger Logan Blacker - Giants fullback Also not sure why Jayemm Oladipupo isn’t in Yorkshire squad after being in England squad last season. Probably injured.

Wakey need to play Harvey Smith more minutes, he is some player.

That is a mistake on the Wigan website.

That’s what I was thinking, if Walters keeps up his current form then there is no reason why he shouldn’t be in the squad. Outstanding in the past couple of weeks.

Yeah Maddie Hutchinson looked like a good rugged style player, I was impressed by her.

I don’t rate Navarette at all, I think even Gadwin Springer offers more than him.

Sam Walters 2nd week in a row was the best on ground imo.

Very disappointing, I’ve seen some training of the big 4 teams and they have stepped up another couple of levels. All 4 teams look super sharp, but the bottom 4 just can’t compete, the Giants should be competing but not sure about their professionalism and training levels.

He’s grown a lot since that video.

They need a coach who can drill them on the finer points of the game. Not switching off on the 5th and last tackle is so important both in attack and defence. The big one for me is the accuracy of a pass, especially under pressure. BTW picking the right players would help too.

Presley Cassell, I don’t want to put too much pressure on him but he is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to Sam Burgess.

Agnes Wood is out, broke her hand or something like that.

That fine young English centre Kayal Iro scores for the Sharks.

Top signing for Leeds, could possibly start in the centres until Caitlin Beevers returns from injury. At full strength I think Leeds can still be a force.

Great post. I didn’t see Evie Sexton on the team sheet for Hull FC, her sister Kacey was on the bench though. London v Cardiff ended in a 22-22 draw. I think that league is going to be pretty tight, Salford had a good win over Sheffield, I think Salford have the best up and coming player in the league in Anna Dennis.

I saw some pics of Mollie Iceton from the game and looks to have filled out a bit which should make her hard to handle for opposition teams and she is the type of athletic youngster that I would like to see put on a central contract.

Interesting but I actually like Amelia at fullback because it keeps her in the game, out on the wing I felt she was a bit wasted. I do agree that Mollie Iceton looks a good prospect and can’t wait to see her development. Does anyone know if Ellie Oldroyd is still at the Giants and what about Ana DA Silva ?

Lois has had a few ankle injuries over the past couple of years, hope she recovers. i really like her as a player.
