I think a SL side will come in for him now , if not i just cant see the point of waky unless the wage is too good not to.

What i hear, Wakey is a done deal, double money from what he was on at Fax plus comes with opportunity to go onto SL with them should they achieve that. With the new investment/owner and finally the upgrades to the ground, i guess they will be best placed to do this.

TBF a few games he was lacking massively in defence Widnes away, Keighley away , Swinton at home

makes me think why he is not in SL yes he can score but defence no

Mark Preston's defence wasn't great but a winger is there to fly and score trys and Lachlan can certainly do that. If he is going the biggest disappointment is if it's to Wakefield.

It did not take the opposition long to work out he jumped out of the line, should not have been rocket science for the fax coaches to say ,” ok you do that and do it successfully, therefore come inside take the centre and let the centre be the outside man.” Might not work all the time but will stop opposition wingers walking in .

Article in the courier interviewing Finn says ‘ it’ll. be hard work keeping walmsey’ but it’s not a done deal as ‘ keeping him will me massive for the club ‘

Half the tries that Walmsley got blamed for were not his fault, it was usually his centre/halfback/2nd row that were to blame but Walmsley was often the one who ended up looking silly because he is trying to make a play happen.

Another way of looking at A & D at our level no one will be perfect but would we rather have a winger who scores 30 + each season and concedes 6 or one who scores half that for and against?

The first. It's a situation akin to Rob Worrincy although his ratio of tries against him as opposed to those he scored was much higher than LW's.

Just as a counter argument, name some good championship wingers who are good defensively.
I would also say that walmsleys best form of defence is his attack via his intercepts .

Aye, it's a case of getting the balance right and chosing when in a match it is right to take the chance of an interception as opposed to defending the moment. Whichever way, a winger such as Lachlan only comes along very rarely and the possibility of him leaving, especially to a club like Wakefield in our own division, is part of the reason i have held back from buying a season ticket this time. Let's hope he stays with Fax at least until his present contract is up.
