Also we let two future MOS winners go in last 10 years, granted we got one back.

Scruton and Dowes would get in our first 17 now , it still does not mean they had better than average careers

Joe is a year older but for me Tom Nicholson-Watton and Ben Meyhew are both better than Joe both are tougher. Levi and Morgan are rated higher than all 3 but both Levi and Morgan are still kids.

Morgan apparantly has put a lot of size on so i cant wait to see more of him. Levi is impressive a real athletic kid. Early early days tho.

Thanks, good feedback.
Is Levi big enough to continue as a backrower or will he end up a centre ?

He literally went 17 on Xmas Day so hes still developing. He will be bigger than Stevie Ward with a bit of weight on him. He will be fine for back row. This off season will be good for him but he is still a kid and their is no need to rush him at all.

The point still stands, we were overflowing with young players over around a ten plus year period and we had to let a lot of players go. A large section of the players we released ended up playing in Super league for majority of their careers. Arguing over the quality of those players or how their careers panned out is the missing the point. I’s struggle to name any players we have released in the past 5 years who are playing in the championship never mind SL.

Heard Levi could be the new Ellery, start at centre then move to 13. High praise high expectations.

Ellery was actually a bit of a late developer, did not really kick on until early 20’s not like Schoey, crooks, Morley etc international and player at 18-19.

Patience needed though, hope people don’t expect either player to be first team regulars in next 2-3 seasons. Would be nice if they were though.

Just checked Levy Edwards profile, he only just turned 17.
Fingers crossed the Academy season gets up & running this season, really looking forward to seeing how they go.

Jesus. Poor kid. Compared to Ellery. Please lets calm down. Hes very young and certainly isnt going to be Ellery.

Hes talented but lets not go overboard here. Let the kid develop at his own pace.

I have not compared him to Ellery, not even see him play, just what I have heard.

I agree with the second part and thought thats pretty much what I was saying in the first place.
