Re the U18s, It'll be interesting to see who gets contracts.
I'm sure Barbeary will be one and I agree with Raggs about Nearchou (Alex Shaw is usually good with these things). If it is only 2 forwards, I think it will be between Ademuwagun, Tunney and Mawdsley. Obviously James Tunney's brother is in the academy but I think he's on a Uni contract so James may opt for the same.
Hopefully a few will want uni contracts, as far as I know, Tunney, Atta and Seabrooke are part of the senior academy with student contracts and Jardine, Hunt and Onyeama-Christie are extended academy while at Uni (may be wrong though), and most of them have featured in the Prem Cup this year.
