As usual, utter gash from the Afro'd wonder tonight. Nonexistent positioning, missed tackles all over the shop, couldn't catch the kickoff or call for a high ball. He offers us f**k all and the sooner he's shipped off to Hunslet on a permanent basis the better. At least the likes of Mulhern, Handley, Robbie Ward etc. have either been steady or actively put their hands up and demanded to be picked. Every time Golding has played he's looked like someone who's going straight back to the 19s as soon as we have a first teamer fit.

Will never be make it, let's cut our losses and find someone decent.

I think your talking out of your bottom mate.

He got more confident as the game went on, and looked very good running the ball. I agree in a lot of aspects he looked out of his depth, but to say he is utter gash is just nonsense.

I am sure had we moved him up to halfback and put Moon to fullback, the result may have been different. He would have give us good options I the halves.

He occasionally caught the ball, and sometimes even got it back to where it landed before getting tackled. Shocking all round. Jogging back to take ball that was going in-goal despite saints defenders bearing down on him. No confidence to take the ball into contact with pace. Getting the ball in the line and having no bloody clue what to do with it.

If he's a half back, he should play at half back. There is no way he will ever be a fullback in Super League.

Strange thread this.

Blimey....some people can be very blinkered. Thought he made a couple of good last line of defence tackles (alright he's no Hardaker, but then nobody in SL is either); he seems to have a decent sidestep on him and nearly scored but for Quinlan's tackle. He seemed to grow in confidence and didn't do anywhere near "a Dixon". Thought he really did okay.

Dixon at least looked like he might create something - one of the few Hull KR players last weekend who did. Golding looked like he'd do nothing except screw up.

He was abysmal against Wire, had to be moved to the wing against Salford he was so bad, was anonymous against Hull and gash again tonight.

Being an academy lad doesn't get you a free pass on being a e player. I'd rather re-sign Lee Smith than keep Golding.

Re the Jones try,I thought he made a decent fist of it in trying to stop him grounding the ball;couldn't see Jones convincingly ground the ball from any angle.

We have got too used to having Hardaker at fb, he's so far above every other fb we aren't used to seeing poor kick returns, the fb caught in goal or the held up going against us

Point by Point rebuttal or straight to the point?

Bull

Young lad, big game, key position, stood up and did his job.

This happens to Hardaker too - he is not immune.

Yes, yes, yes, no.

You don't get credit for picking up the ball as any five year old can do if you're so far out of position you lose us 20m to do so.

Anyone, please? Name something that Golding has ever done that has made him look like he'll make it at this level? Because I count losing us the London (2014) and Wire (2015) games and nearly losing us the Salford away match in the 'against' column, with 'a half break off the back of someone else's play that nearly scored a try but didn't' in the 'for' column.

He's a w@nk player and should off to a w@nk side like Dewsbury or Sheffield.

Either you are trolling or you are very, very blinkered.

Golding is no Hardaker, to hold an academy project to the same battle Hardend standards of a full time pro is not only laughable but frankly batsjit lunacy.

We handed stains that game on a platter with our lax concentration and poor handling, granted you could argue Golding was as lax fielding some of the kicks but c'mon, washing a bloke out after 2 baddish (arguable) games? Welcome to Substandard.

Sometimes you have to credit the kick, and Saints' kicking game was in a different stratosphere to ours tonight. Walsh could've played in his suit.

How many games do you want to give him? 5 more? 10? How many times does he have to be cack before we ship out? He is yet to put it one, ONE performance that says 'I am a super league player and I am good enough to play next week'. Every time he plays he looks a hundred miles off the pace, and like someone who deserve to disappear back to second grade rugby as soon as humanly possible.

Every single one of Hardaker, Watkins, Stevie Ward, Sutcliffe, Singleton, Walters & Robbie Ward came into the side as unknowns - every single one of them put in at least one display that said they were worthy of getting picked.

Golding's had the same opportunity as the likes of Tom Bush, Michael Coady - more opportunity than George Elliott got.

Next time Hardaker can't play, Ash Handley (you know, the guy people were saying shouldn't get dropped for Tom Briscoe) should come in at FB ahead of Golding - shockingly, exactly the same as in the 19s, where they can recognise that Handley is going to make it and Golding isn't.

I thought the lad did well tonight. The thread title is baffling.

Did he shag your bird?
