How young are we going, those who have gone into the first team or the U21 / U18 players? Of those that made the first team, Paul Prescott looks like a real star. It's been a long time since I've seen a prop have such good go-forward at such a young age. Since props don't usually start maturing until their mid-20's he's got a long way to go but he can get fit again and keep up the momentum he showed earlier this season he's going to be a huge asset to the club. Similarly Sean Gleason and Harrison Hansen seem to be slotting in nicely as well. Probably those 3 are my young 1st team stars of this year.

don't forget the people like kevin brown who is only 19. we actually have a very young team players like danny tickle who has been a major asset to our squad this season is only in his early 20's.

colbon has been good but should have scored the try in the super league against saints. i witnessed this behind the sticks with pie eater and it was slightly dissapointing. i think joel tomkins could become one to watch aswell he seems to be improving.

Paul Prescott was really impressing me before he got injured, i definately reckon him and hargreaves are the best young props around.

i hope we keep all our young players for years as they have the makeings of a great team and if any coach can gell them and get the best out of them it has to be ian millward

i agree millward should do the job and a few years playing together should give us a team like leeds hopefully haha. leeds will ahve to rebuild and saints and teams like that so lets hope they can mature to become great rugby league players.
