York fans raving over Levi yet again, having a great time on loan, playing left Centre.

Great to hear. Haven't seen a lot of him but he does look a super athlete. Twenty odd games in the championship will do him far more good than one or two in weakened first team.

Just watched the highlights, 2 more try assists for Levi, one a lovely offload after drawing in the defence.

First professional contracts for Jake Higgins and Baily Aldridge

Higgins rise has been excellent, only picked up from Castleford Panthers in the community game in December. Hasnt had the S+C and Nutritional advantages the other lads start recieving when they join scholarships at 14/15.

He's very similar to Joe Hird in the way they play imo, they just seem to have a maturity and understand whats needed from a teams props

Much like Hird, all about putting some good size on now.

Let’s hope they don’t have to play in next 2 games.

Bailey Aldridge lol

Re: 2022 | Academy & Reserve News : Tue Apr 19, 2022 5:15 pm  

Been very impressed with Higgins so far. Looks like the kind of pack leader we're short of at first team level. Aldridge suggests we're scratching round for hookers but sincerely hope I'm wrong

Higgins looks a straight up and down prop to me. Only young tho. Joe Hird far better prospect. Ben Littlewood is very raw but hits hard. Hes only finding his way at the minute.

Re: 2022 | Academy & Reserve News : Tue Apr 19, 2022 6:19 pm  

Hirds in his 5th year at the club Marty, Higgins is in his 5th month and over a year younger. Im a fan of Hird, but he really should be looking the more polished prospect out the 2. Higgins is progressing really well.
