Leeds Rhinos - southstander.com • 2019 l Academy U19s

Have to say, watching the highlights that Jack Welsby looked great again.

I’m guessing we’ll see Levi Edwards in the U18s next year - he could be one of those rare ones that makes first grade at 16/17 if he continues to develop.

If we do stay up this year it’s going to be a fascinating closed season - not only with new signings and departures, but because there are 6 or 7 of this Academy side who’ll be busting a gut to claim a first grade spot for 2020. We still might not be winning trophies for another year or two but the youth we have, added to Oledski, Walker and Newman, really do have potential to take us back to where the club belongs.

We need to clear out the old guard and only retain those senior players who can offer something to help bring the lads through.
