or just another false dawn for english rugby league, we seem to have a wealth of young talent coming through at the moment but will these players be given the chance or will we stick with the tried and tested? Just off the top of my head...all good young players

1.Riley
2.Hall
3.Lawrence
4.Shenton
5.Ainscough
6.Tomkins
7.Myler
8.Burgess
9.Houghton
10.Prescott

cue lots of 'not international class' type comments.

Sink or swim, only one way to find out - the alternative of the same old guard clearly haven't and will never work...

Huby is only 22-23, Kirk Dixon is 24

I'd say from this year alone Huby is better then Prescott, and Cudjoe is twice the player Riley is, I'd go for something like:

1. Cudjoe
2. R. Hall
3. Shenton
4. Lawrence
5. Owen
6. S. Tomkins
7. Myler
8. Huby
9. Lunt
10. Prescott
11. Burgess
12. Kirmond
13. Westerman

Add Clubb, Sharpe and McCarthy-Scarsbrook to that list and it looks a bit better :lol:

Agree, especially on Clubb, despite his inability to grow chest hair - typical southerner...

Meh. Shenton is miles better than Clubb tbh. Sharp seems to be going backwards (many are citing a lack of confidence); i'd take LMS over Huby and Prescott.

LMS completely skipped my mind, so lets stick him on the bench for impact :D

That lot haven't particularly impressed me. For everything Riley does well like his stunning try at Bradford he does something daft like the knock that gave Bradford a try in the same game. He's a Paul Wellens type for me, lots of effort but not the kind of pure athlete the Aussies and Kiwis have in their backlines. I don't watch Leeds much but Ryan Hall has never stood out either, he doesn't look quick enough to keep up with Keef.

Ainscough is quick and a decent finisher but like Mick Potter and Brian Noble I am not convinced he'll ever be a reliable player, dodgyness is often a curse that remains through a players career. Mr Penny at Wire is a good example, he is the best finisher in SL and the quickest, but he looks unlikely to make it in SL at the moment, never mind on the international stage. Prescott is a poor man's Bryn Hargreaves and the 'other' Tompkins looks like he's only there as he shares a surname with the more talented pixie. To be fair to him I've not seem him play much.

Another nomination for this is Scott Moore. He looks to be the form hooker in Super League this season.
