Perhaps not as good a try scorer as Barba but he has a better pass than Barba or Walker and could be another Webb

Sutcliffe deserves to keep his position at stand off for now. It could be worth playing Walker, Golding or even Newman on the wing.

Definitely can't see Walker sticking around if he starts getting shunted to the wing.

He’s got a 3 year contract hasn’t he, I’m sure Furner will pick the best team and not worry about upsetting a 19 year old kid.

Not saying he will or should. Just my opinion on how Walker may see it

Why would a 19 year old take his bat home if he gets rested. If that's the case his attitude stinks. He is a fantastic young prospect and if he keeps his feet firmly on the ground and takes onboard good quality advice then he will have the world at his feet, if he listens to his agent and starts believing he is better than others then there is no future for him at the Rhinos. There is no SL club that he will simply walk into and full back. He does not have either the knowledge or experience to be playing full back at his age in SL. He will if he keeps his feet on the ground become a top quality player, at the moment he is on a learning curve. Strangely I would play TUi at FB, he is a FB and has the experience. Walker needs a rest, a holiday and some time gaining more experience with the academy, if not he will burn himself out.

Walkers over academy age. If he's not playing for leeds then he needs games somewhere.

One good game vs lower league opponents doesn't make Tui the solution either.

Why are people saying Walker has this bad attitude?
Has he said anything along the lines off "if I'm not selected I'm off" or are people making up responses for him and 2nd guessing something about someone they know nothing aboit

Nope. Although neither does it rule him out as the best means of giving Walker a break if the lad is carrying a knock or two.

It’s down to the silly PR stunt the club pulled with those previous contract talks, trying to pressure the lad. All he wanted was a guarantee in those talks to concentrate on fullback to fight for a first team place, knowing he was better than the competition. They gave him that, he signed the contract, took the shirt and won a grand final. One of them was right, and it wasn’t the club.

Where he goes from there on development, I doubt would be any issue for him, as he just wants to play. This is why I keep saying about the nonsense some keep posting. That said, anyone who thinks he will make a winger in the modern game, are sadly very naive, he wouldn’t.

On the Tui issue though. I don’t think Sutcliffe is as good a half as him, however the team seems to work better with that change. Potentially the same could be the case at fullback too with Tui and Walker, just the other way.
