Whats the answer then matt? i see it like you i try and go watch the scholarship and academy as much as possible,night and day when it comes to how both sides play and how players develop, saw ur earlier post about wanting butteril to coach the academy and im of that ilk too ,it's no fluke that the bloke gets the best out the kids in the scholarship and he was chevs assistant when they won the academy grand final a few years back,do we know if he wants to do it? im guessing not as its as clear as to everyone who watches the games within our lower levels that he's the bloke to lead this talented group moving forward unless he doesnt want to do it? players and parents speak highly of him on the hill at stanningley so somethings going on? its baffled me for years this subject and we have talked about it for years now.the lad cannot want it simple as that.

watched highlights of the bulls game and both centres looked very big, mobile and quick. very impressive.only brief highlights obviously and playing the bulls who might not be the best test. sure others will know better

Loads of players named in the Yorkshire Academy squad but no Oladipupo, does anyone know if he is injured ?

He hasn't been in the u18s squads in a few weeks so could well be
