UTK Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Very much a focus on youth there, couple of potential bolters for the '22 squad but likely looking ahead to '25 with this side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whippet13 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Nice looking squad that, a number of players there with the potential to go all the way and become top England internationals. Shame the authorities have decided to play both this game and the Scotland v Jamaica one on Friday nights though as I'd have definitely gone to at least one and likely both on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon or evening. Hopefully they will be televised somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Surprised Harry Newman isn’t in the Knights squad, unless he’s playing for the England side against France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some footage posted across the England RL social media of a joint training session between the Knights/Seniors squad but it appears there were no players from the final 4 teams involved. Other centre options in the video were King, Gildart, Hardaker and Lyne so I assume they're still working off the same wider squad named earlier this year. I don't believe Jamaica have named their squad yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigbyLuger Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I know we're just off the back of a busy weekend, but if this is a Jamaica home game, they don't seem to have done much promotion for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being played in England - so presumably this is an England Knights home game. I don't think there is much intent to promote it - otherwise it would be at Headingly on a Saturday afternoon and not Featherstone on a Friday night. Looks like this is being treated purely as a training game for both sides to help RLWC2021 preparations, bit of a missed promotional opportunity sadly.

WN83 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Really looking forward to watching a few of these young lads play together. I've seen all of the Wigan lads games this year and Pearce-Paul could be a very special player in time. We seem to be able to produce good forwards as a country without too much fuss though, so it's Will Pryce, Lewis Dodd and Mikey Lewis I'll be paying particular attention to. It's lads like these we really need to see get better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom Young, Micheal Laurence, Jordan Turner, Ashton Golding, Loyld White, Ben Jones Bishop, Mason Caton Brown, Luis Johnson, Ross Peltier, James Woodburn Hall are 10 experienced players, most with plenty of Super League experience, if not top performers in the Championship. They won’t be easy beats for such a youthful side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in a few years though, especially if things get off the ground domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Cashmere Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 A squad that is (rightly, btw) being used to promote the future of the national team and yet the only opportunity to watch it is if you happen to be in the area on Friday night. Not everything has to be free but I'd wager there's plenty of people like me who would pay to watch yet can't make it to Castleford on a Friday night. Shame.

EagleEyePie Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I agree with the above, would love to be able to watch this game but getting to Cas on a Friday night in time to see it isn't going to happen. I must admit looking at the Knights team it's hard to work out selection criteria or what the Knights are supposed to be. The concept is good but a little inconsistent. It's not a second string England side, nor does it contain all the best young players outside the England squad. It's an unusual mix of both and then some slightly left field selections.
