Quote: KaeruJim "Walters is still a wee bit underdone for me, looks great going forward but his D needs work - mostly due to upper body strength. Won’t let anyone down with some bench appearances for sure but Martin, Mellor, Prior, Smith, Donaldson, maybe Thompson and A Sutcliffe all ahead realistically right now.
He will be pushing for a permanent bench spot next year I’d imagine. He took his try brilliantly against Wire.
Again if you mean first grade 17 not sure who O’Connor replaces right now. Like Walters, won’t let anyone down when his time comes though.
Good that we’re getting competition for places in lots of positions now, will be a few senior players looking over their shoulders.'"
Walters is going to look underdone he's only played twice in virtually 12 months. Sutcliffe will be at centre this season but for mine if Mellor or Martin are injured he should be ahead of the rest for a starting spot. Donaldson is best used off the bench. Prior is better used as a starting 13 and then moved to prop when Smith comes on. The more Walters plays with better players the better he'll get.
