| Is there a better battle in super league right now? Walker has taken this by the scruff of the neck and made it his own. Already an interesting scenario for squad numbers next season. Very exciting.

Overall, Walker looks a class apart. Happy to make contact coming from defence and miles better attack wise.

| Walker is a class act and I would love to see him have a run at stand off. Golding is the better defensive fullback and would have made one or two of the tackles Walker missed tonight.

| Golding can keep the #1 but Walker already looks the better all round full-back. Where else could you play Golding though?

| If Moon and Burrow are out next week I would play Walker at 6 and Golding at 1 with Lilley on the bench

Would normally have said the wing but Briscoe had a good game (though he doesnt back himself for the corner enough)
Walker clearly better in attack but not as good in defence, tonight we actually probably would have done better with Golding as Walker set up one but arguably let in 3

| How many times has Walker won MOTM? Kid is ace. Keeping them both happy long term could be a problem. Unless one is OK with playing a different position

| Obviously walker is a quality player. My main concern is he is still a youngster and last night he received several heavy shots. Not all of them legal. So I would be careful in playing him every week. Without doubt his time will come so we need to be careful with him.

Agree with this.

| I completely disagree with it. He's proved he's good enough, so he's old enough. Let him play.

Yep.
Nathan Cleary is in his second season in the NRL and he's not 20 until November.
You don't get battered anywhere as hard as in the NRL.

| At this stage Golding is the better last line defender having had some notable efforts this season but Walker is IMO more assured under the kick, he returns with speed and purpose and offers a threat when joining the line.
Despite the first comment above Leeds' three abject defensive performances (Cas away, Hull cup, Wakey away) all featured the same starting full-back and it wasn't last night's. Not that any full-back can be held solely responsible when the men in front dissipate like snowflakes in an ocean.

| Obviously I don't see them as much as you lot, but for me it's a no brainer.
Golding is one of those players that the best you are ever going to be able to say about him is, "he doesn't let anyone down," or "he doesn't look out of place." He is a nothing player. Not a bad player, just, meh.
Walker looks like a match winner.

I am with you,if he's good enough he plays,age is no barrier particularity for a back.
I would like to see him in the halves, but if not run Golding on the wing for a bit instead of Briscoe who is a waste of time ,reasonable performances like last nights just highlight how mediocre he is most of the time.

| Walker is a precocious talent. He could make fullback or stand off his own over the next few years and would potentially form a good partnership with Lilley as their skills complement each other nicely.
I wouldn't rush him until he's had a full preseason to put the size on that will enable him to ride the rough challenges that will inevitably come his way.
The days of if you're good enough you're old enough are long gone with the physicality of the modern game. I know it's not as brutal as it used to be but it's far more physically demanding.
