Chev is fine but there are several issues with the 19s at the moment. Firstly we released many of the older lads so its a very young team, the better players are in the full time squad, which is a good thing if they are available, but they currently arent. They are playing a game every 3 weeks which is crackers and the team has zero half backs.

Got my doubts on Chev tbh, His Focus points and messages in his interviews are baffling and it shows on the field imo.

Between now and August tge 19s hsve 2 games. Theyve played 2 in the last 7 weeks. Its crazy.

I hope walkers interviews arent a reflection of his coaching. In the mould of certain other past appointments I'll make a prediction that's hes around a few years before exploring another line of work.

Anyone know why the 19's game scheduled with Warrington yesterday didnt get played?

7 Rhinos in the Yorkshire Academy squad for the game against Lancashire on August 4th , 1st years Levi Edwards, Max Simpson and Will Gatus and 2nd years Tom N Watten, Joe Hird, Mackenzie Turner and Oli Field

Also Levi Edwards with 2 trys for Batley against Dewsbury on Thursday, playing at Centre.

Interesting to note the 2nd rower from London that had a great game v our academy has been selected for Yorkshire, Euan Parke. If he plays every week like he played against Leeds he is someone we should be monitoring.

Yeah seen his name in the squad and remember you highlighting him after we'd played them, the Roses games being shown on ourleague so il be looking out for him.

Yep agreed thought he looked good.

Do we see Edwards as a centre then?

Do you boys reckon AJ Wallace will break into the first team at some point? He’s an awkward customer to defend.

Levi could end up anywhere hes a pure athlete. Wherever it is hes potential to be a special player.

AJ needs to do more, came back after covid out of shape, hasnt cemented a starting spot in 19s. A good stong runner, mobile and athletic kid.

Won’t be surprised if he’s at a sl club next season, with London going part time.

U19s game v Bulls on Saturday postponed.
