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.

Another try for Levi Edwards for Batley today, 80m interception, 3 in 3 in the championship now.

York fans impressed with Johnson and Hall aswel, especially Hall who sounds like had a very good game.

Which position is Edwards playing at Batley?

Centre

Looks like he’s being groomed at left centre. Could be a good call, he might lack the outright size for the pack although he’d make a cracking LF with his skill set.

Edwards and Broadbent down that LHS could be interesting with Newman on the right.

He wont lack the size for backrow, he's 17, and without knowing his growth rate, he's on course to be as big or bigger than the likes of Bateman, Bentley, Ward, L Farrell etc and more explosive than any of them. Injury and attitude permitting, He'l be excellent wherever he ends up.

Seems a really humble lad too. Big fan of Edwards.

I rate Max Simpson from the little I’ve seen too. He could be very good indeed.

Batley had a good win at Widnes today and Mr Edwards was on the scoresheet again.

Took his try well and looks like hes grown in height.Was done for speed by Widnes winger and centre/
