Hopefully Alex Walmsley , or Satae as a cheaper option.

Probably a good move all round. Walker's now third choice full back it seems, and although he's not turned out the star originally hoped, he's better than a reserve player. Fingers crossed he stays fit and gets back to his best.

Do you think it could be permanent?

Just with you re signing Hardaker and still having Myler?

If Hardaker stays, and that is not confirmed, I don't see a way for Jack to play regularly at Leeds. He's a straight full back and I don't think he offers much utility value. But then again, wouldn't he always be second fiddle to a fit Connor?

With us being linked with Tex Hoy from the knights, there's lots of talk that Connor will move in to the halves next season to partner Trueman.

Probably. We're looking at Tex Hoy as well for next season so it may end up being a loan spell for fitness/form.

This would be the end of Shaul in a Hull shirt for me.

Agreed, if Hardaker stays, I think Walker is done at Leeds.

Although I don't think Walker is a first choice option in other positions, I think he would be capable of playing winger, centre or half back at a push.

Walker's passing game is the biggest issue for me. No idea why you think he could play halfback, except in the same way Dwyer plays hooker.

Walker is a fullback and it would be a very big push to play him at wing centre or half. He doesn't have those attributes

Shaul did not look too happy on Saturday and did not sound that happy in an interview on Radio Humberside, but he has a testimonial next year so I’d reckon he won’t be keen to leave FC.

Walker is still a fair bit younger than Myler and Hardaker, but he needs game time now. It is disappointing that he could end up moving on, but as someone else remarked on here some weeks ago, at some point our club has to stop being the RL equivalent of a donkey sanctuary if we want to start progressing again. Like Ash Golding before him, there just isn't space for him in the position he wants to play.

I don't mean that we need to be ruthless everytime someone gets a long-term injury. I think the club usually does a good job in sticking by players who have suffered misfortune - Stevie Ward being a case in point (can't comment about off-field support he received though). Rather, we need to be a lot more careful in handing out longer-term contracts. Younger players getting 3+ yr deals need to have shown real star potential in the first grade to deserve this IMO (5 year deals should be a thing of the past unless we have clearly unearthed the next Ellery Hanley); likewise players at the back ends of their careers should not expect big deals unless they are turning out Sinfield/Peacock/Roby-esque performances week-in, week-out. There's still a lot of dead wood under contract, and long contracts for too many of our players have put them in a comfort zone that is not always translating into on-field performances.

Someone like Liam Sutcliffe is hanging in by the skin of his teeth IMO; I still don't see him as a first choice pick in any position when everyone is fit. Looking at the videos of 2015 he is half the player he was back then. Let's hope Smith can help him nail down his own position.

As much as i'd like to keep Jack, it doesn't make salary cap sense to do that.

I would be really surprised if he comes back.

Unfortunately, he's a player who has gone downhill since he was 17 rather than improved. Incredible story winning the GF at that age, but will either end up lower end of SL or in the championship.

I think those saying he could be a centre, winger or half either don't understand those positions, or don't see how small Walker is. He's just not physically up to it in the modern game.

I’d love to see Jack become the player his talent and dedication deserves. He’s still so young and if plays well at Hull, I would like him to come back fully match fit for next year…..
