Broadbent hat trick

Broadbent hat trick! Are any of the young ones putting their hands up for 1st team selection. Realise the standard is probably not the greatest.

52-8 FT. Poor opposition. Corey Johnson very good.

Would be interested in your views on Broadbent, Marty. Personally I'd like to see him get a run at centre in the first team, but I don’t profess to be the greatest judge of young players. Do you think he is ready?

Will seem strange to say cos he scored 3 today but he needed to do more today than he did for
me, same with Levi, who ran well, in the 2nd row but didnt do enough. I like Jack, he would do a better job than Briscoe in the centre but is he ready for regular centre play? Hard to say.

Corey got an hour and when he and Sinfield went off for Aldridge and Morgan it all went rubbish really. Edghill did ok at full back.

The opposition was big but very ordinary so hard to judge anyone really.

Fair comment. I think I've got to the point where I think why the hell not, for both of them (Broadbent & Johnson). It's not like the current first first team options are giving them a lot to beat. I might be wrong, but I believe Broadbent is out of contract this year. Would hate to see him leave without finding out what he can really do.

What’s happened to Ben Mayhew ladies and gents?

He is starting to study medicine at university shortly and has therefore stepped away from the game due to time needed on that.

Can anyone give me an objective update on young forward, Danny Salkeld....how's he doing, not seen him play yet?

Liam Tindall and Jarrod O’Connor have joined Bradford Bulls on two week loan deal.
