Don't want to be too critical, but what's the definition of youngster in this poll? Stephen Wild is 23, Aspinwall is not far behind and he's about a year older than the next nearest player (Lockers) who is 21. Wild and Aspi have been first team players for a long time now so you could argue they're not really youngsters anymore.

Got to be Lockers, very consistent unlike the likes of Tickle and Hock who have a greater share of bad days. Aspinwall and Wild aren't really young players anymore even though they are 22 and 23 respectively, I think Wild would be my second choice though with the way he has adapted to playing centre often. The amount of times Wild has been involved in pushing players into touch, his strength is awesome at times.

Robinson has been playing well lately, he'd certainly get an award for enthusiasm! Hansen and Beswick have come in and played well too, I don't think they've played enough to be classed as the best young player though. All the others have features even less.

It has to be Lockers as he was outstanding all season & he gets my vote.

i am going with the majority and saying sean as well. Locky has been consistent yet outstanding in my opinion. I think Luke Robinson has also played very well with some off games, however i think the problem with luke was that he thought to fast for the team (if that makes sense) Many a time he made plays which came out of no were and would have been fantastic trys but know body seemed to be on the same wave length as him maybe its a yorkshire thing!!!.......Luke is next Andy Greg i thinks! Just my opinion..Beswick and Harrison both are very good but need to be given a chance. I agree that i would also like to see more of desi even after his game of doom!! (it was terrible though!) But at the moment Locky gets the vote!!!! :)

Agree about O'Loughlin... but I also think Hock has come on in leaps and bounds. He's responsible for a fair few breaks himself with his nifty side step, which is good considering his size.
