They'll miss me soon...should never have let me go

Yippee....we agree on something. and yes JJB and Ablett are well past there best and like Golding would at give 100% effort.

Golding is available to leave the club, if the right offer for him comes across. This was confirmed by Pete Smith on YEP

That might be true, but it would be a mistake in my eyes if so.

I'm not fussed about Golding, and at this stage concede that it is probably in everyone's interests for him to leave the club.

I agree he has the right attitude, and has been good for us defensively in the past (esp. 2017). Last season, however, his defence was not as good as some would make it out to be, and at times he seemed without much confidence.

There's maybe an argument for giving him a wing spot over Handley (or FB if Walker and Lolohea get injured), but this isn't going to fundamentally change much. Never mind hooker, it's a shame Golding's not an organising half-back, that's what we need (his pace and enthusiasm would be assets).
