I believe so yes, can McLelland still play academy rugby? If not we’d better hope Featherstone will play him or he’s going to be unable to play any Rugby League.

Fev will be happy to have him

I have a hunch that Lolohea will start at full back

That will go down well on here.

or left centre

According to some. one fullback is crap and not Leeds standard, the other is probable 1-2 years of being good enough to be a regular starter and needs spelling more and is injury prone.

How is walker not good enough for the first team standard when this year he has probably been consistently one of the stronger/ more dangerous players in the team?

No he did not. He played RL from a lot younger than this. He did have a spell in RU but after he had started in RL. He was also a very good footballer.
Good signing for Leeds as he was regarded very highly in Scottish RU.

So why is he leaving - his earning potential is much higher in RU than it ever will be in RL.

Is he managed by SMTM?

Why is he coming back? It seems odd given the RU world cup coming up.

It is not unusual for a youngster to learn and play for both a Union and a League club on different days, so he may have played some League earlier than 13 but I doubt earlier than five! But I am only going by what the lad said himself Scotland U20 fly-half Callum McLelland[/i

Date of birth 16 September 1999 Born Pontefract, W Yorks Club Edinburgh Country Scotland Position Fly-half

[iHow did you get involved in rugby?[/i

"I first played union when I was five at Castleford and was there until I was 12. Then I decided to play league as there’s always contact and it’s the part of the game I enjoyed most."

[iTalk through your progress in league…[/i

"I was training with the Castleford Tigers development team from the age of 13. It was massive for me as where I’m from is heavily rugby league.

I played England U15s and U16s, and captained them. At my first England camp no one knew who I was, so to then be told I’d be captain was a massive achievement. Then I was with the Castleford pro team."

[iYou joined Edinburgh in November. Why the switch to union?[/i

"Because of the amount of avenues you can go down. Rugby union is massive in many countries whereas league is in England and Australia, with a couple of teams in New Zealand and France.

I’m still young and by making the switch now I can develop my skill-set. I want to test myself."

[iWhat’s been the biggest challenge?[/i

"Being away from home. Not having my family around is tough and I’m living on my own for the first time."

I believe he is. Was in the LewisJones suite on Saturday, but then Leeds gave Luke gale and his old man a few free dinners and he did not come

In recent years, some of our less heralded signings have proved to be very successful. Let’s give the lad a chance. Hopefully he’ll perform well.

If we sign him, I'd say It's him and Myler in the halfs with Lolohea at centre.
