The Warrington team is anything but experienced. The last few weeks they have been playing with seven first year academy players as they did yesterday. The Warrington team listed on the Hull supporter's website linked to in this thread is wrong, both Jack Johnson and Sam Wilde didn't play as they are likely to be in first team 17 for today's game.

The St Helens v Hull semi should be a hell of a close game. I can't see the same for the other semi though although Warrington did turn Wigan over a few weeks back at home in a rather feisty encounter (read the disciplinary report for Bretherton on the RFL website) a few weeks previous to that Wigan put 70 on Warrington.

Excellent result.

Probably the end of an era for the club. Can't believe that's it for our junior set up

Looking forward to (hopefully) watching an u23s competition next year, 19s was never a concept I liked.

That said, the way our younger 19s are being forced in to this academy is criminal.

Not a chance that any of the current crop pushing for first team will play for the merged academy.

On the game itself, if we was anywhere near full strength I've no doubt we'd beat Saints. But with so many needed for first team I can't see anything but a Saints win. Real shame it's come to this for them, but the main aim is to progress to first team I suppose.

Anyone know the result ?

Lost 34-14.

Shame but with so many having been drafted into the first team it was always gonna be a big ask

RIP
