Something I know the Saints academy have been doing for a long time - it will be a great experience for them. Lots of fundraising has taken place to allow this to happen, and worth mentioning that Stuart Middleton has put in a fairly significant 5 figure sum to allow it to happen.

Hopefully it’s something that can be repeated every couple of years.

There is a link on the twitter page to watch the game v wests in full. Some very impressive performances

Who are the stand outs in the academy? Obviously Green aside. Taylor-Wray seems to get plenty of mentions, the centre too - Lindop is it?

Lindop appears to have more pace than last year's starting centres combined. Wouldn't mind seeing him and Wrench as our future centre pairing.

Any relation to old time referee Fred Lindop ?

Just watched the highlights v. NSW. Looked a good standard of rugby. We got a bit of a hammering but a very good learning experience.
