I dunno, I’d be ready to give Edwards the last 10-15 mins if we’re in control of a game. Difficult to predict when that would be though granted.

Myler for me is a FB and then reserve 7 at a pinch. Really don’t see him as a 9 at all. Myler is probably 5th choice behind Leeming, Dwyer, O’Connor, Smith... in fact 9 might be where O’Connor could end up at senior level - great engine, decent pass and solid in D.

Straight out battle between Myler and Walker for FB although Walker will get there in time.

just looked at Edwards profile.Hes not 17 until December surely that's far too young to be making your debut with no games under his belt for months. Plus if his profile is correct it has him down at only 12.5 stone height 5ft 9.5 if that's correct he'llget smashed if coming on in the second row.

Dwyer signed a 2 year deal a few weeks back.

Plan a month or so back was for Edwards to get a game before end of the season but with the battle for a playoff spot continuing we will see if that happens. The 5 ft 9 12.5 stone profile was when he joined scholarship i would think and not updated. He will be close to 6 foot now i reckon. Super athlete. Bit early for him to play but wouldnt do him any harm. Still a kid though. Morgan Gannon is bigger than Levi, hes really developed physically recently.

Would you give Gannon a chance this season or too early?

I am sure I noticed on the coverage for CC Final, Myler being said to be around 5'10 and 13 stone 3 in weight. I thought he was much smaller than that but suspect I only get that impression from him being surrounded by far bigger players.

I thought it was probably outdated.I still think its a bit early he's not 17 until December and has not played for months.From what i've heard he's a terrific prospect.

Morgan is doing his A levels so hes not training every day like Levi so probably not at this stage.

OK maybe too young still... there is no rush with him. He is obviously in and around the edges already, but if he doesn't get his shot this year his time will come.

It time will come but for now its hard enough for the fringe players to get a game. I hope Walters gets another chance against Wakefield but this time with a more established pack.
