Quote: Chesterrhino "Sleeve backed down I know the lads family young jack was offered a paltry amount and was on his way to Warrington.
The offer was improved with the promise of a chance to claim a place in the side then come back and talk again.
Sleeve honoured his word.'"
How was he “on his way to Warrington” he clearly didn’t sign a contract with them, he may have received an offer, but that’s not unusual. Leeds did not back down to the request to only playing at full back, Walker will play wherever Brian McDermott selects him.
So to summarise, a player in high demand was offered a contract, it wasn’t accepted, he was then offered a better contract.
