If true lets hope he works out better than the last McAvoy we signed with Bradford connections



With our recent records with young props we'll probably loan him out somewhere after giving him a few pre season friendly games and then allow/help him to chose who he eventually plays 1st team rugby for

Never heard of him.

Doubt we want him, we have more than enough forwards at the moment. Unless GH is offloading some of ours I cannot see it happening.

Who is he again?

Any need to sound so arrogant about an academy player? If you've never heard of him, how do you know Leeds don't want him?

We wanted him before he signed for Bradford, also he is a good young prop and I think that's exactly what we need.

What a bizarre post, given that quite a few of your contributions to this forum seem to be about Academy players.

I'm surprised you don't know who he is, seeing as he played in both England Academy internationals against the Aussie Schoolboys in the summer...

I watched the England Academy games and i thought McAvoy was really disappointing, he didn't look big enough to make it as a front rower.
He had a few injuries last season though so maybe that effected his form, hopefully he improves next year.

Has this been confirmed yet? Or is it still a rummor.

I have never heard of him but also didn't realise he was an academy product either. Retrospectively I guess your comments would have been to recruit him for the U19s where I assumed you meant 1st grade. Also I tend not to monitor other academy sides, guess thats a job for Bob Pickles.

I was a big fan of the U20s this season and watched all but one, but I will need to get my finger out as I only know about half of the U19s squad now.

I've seen Liam play a couple games for the Bulls and he had some decent games tbf although i would have personally have preferred to have retained Dan Smith

On a side note if we have signed Liam McAvoy i hope that Loz hasn't been signed by mistake because they are doppelgangers

there is someone in this world who looks like loz!

Apparently so tad

bloody hell. poor sod

He looks small for a Prop how old is he??

19 mate

I won't say how I know. But I have seen confirmation that Liam Mcavoy has signed for Rhinos. He is also on a full time contract and training with the first team.

I do think he will be playing for the U19s next season then I guess he will be loaned out after that. As Brad must be miles ahead in his development.

Blows my theory out of the water when I said there will be a squad of no more than 25. I thought Watson was the only addition this year but we also have this lad and Alex Foster. Not to mention Vikery.

Saw on twitter him and Liam hood were at the wheelchair rugby presenting some award to the leeds team that made me think it was complete and he'd signed for us

To add to comments of "confirmation", the Rhinos twitter has started to follow him and added him to a list called "Rhinos Players".

This was confirmed the other day in the YEP.
