Rovers 18's had the better individual players i thought. Sheriff and their 6 were the best 2 players on the pitch.
At 16's and 15's it wont even be close though as Hull are so much stronger than Rovers at these ages, 15's in particular who could be another 'Golden Generation' like we had 4/5 years ago where about 6 of the squad went on to play first grade.

Rovers had 2 years of derby glory whilst we were in our transitional period, it is now normal service resumed even after this one result yesterday. All that talk from the eastern block a couple of years ago about a shift in power in this city, all the young kids will head east etc, what a load crap, we will always be number one in Hull.
Well It's a bit early for that but if gates are anything to go by, with their second highest gate of all time at Caravan Park yesterday still 450 short of our season ticket sales, I think we are the best supported!

Sheriff is a good player, came from the same team, Hull Isberg, that Reece played in. The reason why Hull didnt go for Sheriff is because they believe they have a better option at full back coming through in Jack Briscoe. Whether that comes true in this isolated instance remains to be seen. Cant comment on the number 6 however.

Jack Briscoe was playing for the 20's unsure who the 18's fullback was as he got hurt really badly. Saul Beavis who will be playing at fullback for the 16's is another reason why Sheriff isnt at Hull IMO.

one of the best scraps i've seen in ages ! great performance from u20's & u18's today!
And as for yesterday - the ramblings (in the local rag) of a very average rovers back rower, shows how disilusioned they are. The fact that cock-ayne & newton can't take a punch is not HAME'S fault.

Yeah they will be from now on which is a great idea from the rfl as Super League sides scholarship players will be playing against each other instead of the traditional Hull Service Area/Schools. A massive step in the right direction as far as youth development goes.

There will be Service Area but players who are on a scholarship wont be allowed to be selected. I dont really see the point in carrying on with Service Area though when you get to 15's+ as both Hull and Rovers have 25 players signed up to play for them so essentially the best 45 players from the city will be unavailable.
