Chris Smith has been selected in the England Academy squad whilst Chris Brown, Elliot Windley and Owen Harrison have been selected in the England under 16s squad.
Congratulations to all 4.

I thought the England Academy side was made up of just FC players?

I'm sure you're right, it will be an admin error by the RFL.

Well done to all 4 players! recognition of the talent and hard work of all involved.

well done to those young lads. always great to have players from hull representing England at any level(whether r** and w***e or black and white)

Congratulations to all the Rovers lads selected for representation at International level

It usually is, first time in about 4 years Rovers have had a player in either squad, lets hope they can bring them through.

Aye, seems to have coincided with Andy Last leaving the England set up, I'm sure that's nothing to do with it of course.

You tell me where it says Benson & Hedges on that.

Rovers young players are eligible for England teams - who knew?
Well done to them.
Of course, Kristian Bell played for the Academy, but he was from Oldham and had already played for the youth team while on Saints books, iirc. Can't recall the last time we had a player from KuH in one of these squads. Have we ever in SL, in fact?

Tbf, it doesn't quite directly coincide - he was off the England juniors scene ahead of the games against the Aussie schoolboys.
And he was always and understandably more likely to be an advocate of players he'd helped develop, ahead of those he'd 'passed over'. I'd look slightly askance if a Rovers juniors coach combining that with a role at England level picked a load of Hull players ahead of his own charges. It'd look like you didn't rate your own judgement or performance.
Interesting to see how early Wigan and Leeds dominate squads. Their development systems are excellent, I'm sure - but obviously a lot of it is about hoovering up talent. I doubt the systems add that much value, that quickly, personally.

The fact you know where Bell came from and can remember his rep stats suggests you're the most likely person to answer your own question.

No one else will admit to that level intense geekism.

Well done to the young lads and coaches who've guided them, nowt like that in my day.
