Quote: Brodie123 "We would be fools to let Ash Golding leave, at Elland Rd against the tigers, playing hooker he was the reason for the comeback, he got the pack moving forward when we was being hammered. The lad can tackle he is not injury prone like a lot of others in the team, he has pace and can catch the high ball, those on here who simply believe that he is not good enough just look at what we have. As much as I like JW he has neither the size or the speed to make the full back his own position, he is far too injury prone, I do however hope JW does prove me wrong. '"
You must have been asleep for the first half hour of that game. Golding was the very reason we were so far behind, with his poor positioning and couldn't catch the high ball. It was the introduction of Walker from the bench that set about the comeback, who was very good. To be fair you are correct on the introduction at hooker later, and the impact that had, but the comeback was already moving.
Walker is for more physical than Golding. Look at the yardage in contact and you will see every single time Walker makes progress, where in the majority of times Golding is put back. They may not look that way stood there, but in actual contact it is clear. That physicality on boxing day appeared to have moved on a step further with the difference.
