Surely the squad should have consisted of the players numbered 20 to 27 in the first team squad. plus the best of the academy under 21's

According to the official site, there are 10 players who are in the first team squad mentioned in the team above.

The squad/shirt numbers, according to Madge, don't mean anything

Tough test for the youngsters. It will be very interesting to see how they fare;

Never heard of Jamie Acton and James Greenwood

Kieron Harrison, Johnny Walker and Tom Halsall I thought all 3 had been released?

what about Joe Mellor? hope Powell has a good game

Joe Mellor not being there is worrying

Maybe he's getting a run out v Wire next week?

Jamie Acton is a lad we picked up from Hemel Stags - 2nd rower I believe.

I was hoping Joe Mellor would be involved as well. :conf:

I'm pretty sure Jamie Acton has previously been with Quins a few years ago at under 16 or u/15 level.

Yeah Jamie Acton was at Quins in the past. He used to play in the same team as my housemate at uni. From what I have been told he is a big strong lad who runs hard and is very physical. Will be interseting to see how him and the other young lads get on.
