Not sure on Aldridge.

Parsons isn't a 7 that's for sure but hes an unbelievable runner I dont know how he evades so many tackles.

He's a nose for the line that lad.

Announced on the Clubs website that 13 players have been offered academy contracts from the scholarship next year. Good old numbers that. We might not be travelling great at first team level but the work developing the young lads in the background seems to be first class.

Those numbers will be more the structural changes to the comp I think, i.e. under 18's then reserves. I would guess if it was the current system you would be looking at half of that taken on.

We will go back to disagreeing Gotcha agree on a couple but not half? Not on the games i have watched . Agree that over half wont make it past the 18s though as we struggle to develop players once they leave the scholarship.

I wasn’t suggesting they were not good enough. Just based on numbers. Normally they would be promoted in a squad that has 3 age groups in it, with large numbers. Now it is just 2age groups, and I think only 10 from the year up.

Dont think the reserves will come into it much to be honest. Half our reserve team is going to be Fev lads that aremt playing for Fev.

Leeds will still be using dual reg despite the reserve structure.

Dont think were going to take the reserves seriously at all at all . I kind if knew we wouldnt.

Yes, but the 18’s will still only be two age groups, rather than three.

Is Levi Edwards too young to sign up still or is he not wanted?

Re: 2019 l Scholarship U16s : Fri Aug 09, 2019 4:06 pm  

Levi, Morgan Gannon and Alfie Edghill are all top young. Theyve another year at 16s yet.

Levi was sensational at Warrington the other night off the bench.
