I've watched this kid staple a 120 kg prop in the U 20's grade for local footy - he's a hitter, quick though a flaw he has is that he doesn't speak much out there; always scores 2 - 3 tries a local footy game. We ran him at centre/fullback - could be something of the future if he's managed properly;commend the warriors blooding those kids through an fast tracking them to higher grades in local footy to test themselves.

Tried looking up the schedule but it seems the NRL dont give a shit. There news on the Holden Cup ends with the Warriors victory over the Broncos last year!

I'll try again today...

Noticed next to no info for the under 20s anywhere anymore, assuming it's the NRL winding down interest for when they scrap it.

Do you have a link for that?

Its almost as if the Holden Cup doesnt exist anymore! I cant find any stories or graphics whatsoever. Even the NRL site doesnt bother updating the Holden Cup section. Last bit of news was about the Warriors vs Broncos 2014 Grand Final...

What is it being replaced with?

What is it being replaced with?

I don't think a decision has been made, but they will probably go back to how it used to be run in each state NSWRL and QRL, rather than by the NRL. So we would have to enter an U20 team into the NSW or QLD cup junior comp. I am sure it will be a big talking point for the new agreement which will start from the end of next season.

 

[Lord Gnome of Howick MBE]

They should enter a team n each.
