| Would he make a better second rower than prop and if he puts on the weight/muscle he can move to prop in a few years time.
I suppose the issue is we have already got a few decent second rowers and that would push him further down the pecking order.
What about a swap with Mulhern another Leeds cast off?

| Quote fanstanningley="fanstanningley"This could be a massive mistake by Smith and Leeds if Walters doesn't resign.I find it strange he hasnt played more when our front row at times has been poor.Sangare has been ordinary in his last few games but still gets ahead of Walters.'"
Fact is he has not played well enough when he has played, one good game at Saints in his 5th season at the club nearly 23, so its time to make a call, we cannot just keep hold of players hoping they come good just because he’s 2.0m tall.
whilst I still would like to give him a 4-6 game run and make a final assessment then, it may be the club have already made the call or the player himself as already said he’s off at the end of the year, if the latter is the case, then why would Smith okay him again unless we are bare bones. Rather give Ruane Gield gibbons a run instead.

| I definitely think he's a middle forward. I don't think he's mobile enough for 2nd row.

You are probably right.
I think I was basing it on Tetavano plays better out wide in a more second row role than prop and it might fit better with Walters.
I get the impression with Smith that if a player is disgruntled i.e Leeming he pretty much makes his mind up and says bog off then rather than try to talk them round and give them a chance to prove themselves.
Of course I might be talking total bo$$ocks .

| Seems he splits opinions - Perhaps he has been overshadowed by the likes of Gannon? Still seems a shame if he were to leave.
On another point how does the foundation appear above the Rhinos in a Google search!!

Not true. Look at George Delaney against Warrington. Absolutely mullered them and he is similar build.
Looks like Walters has signed for St Helens

| Dupree was a cock up by the club. If Walters goes then that will be of a similar level. He has really improved over the last year and has IMO warranted more minutes this year.
The club cannot talk about building if they are to allow players like him go.

| He seems more Baldwinson than Dupree to me, but we'll see.

Up until a year ago, I would have agreed but over the course of the last year, he has improved his ability to make metres after contact and his ball-playing skills have come on. He offers us something different and can cover both the front and back rows.

| Walters has potential but if hes holding the club to ransom I'd let him leave, hes had some good games and I'd want to keep him. One injury to a front rower and hes back in the team every week. Its a squad game and at some point squad rotation will have to happen. Smith has already said hes a fan of Walters, hes still young and getting used to being a middle, his time will come if he has patience.
