| I can understand the anger and disappointment from the Leeds fans but i think some of you are being rather unfair on him. He is being labelled as immature etc but i think he has shown maturity and wants the best for his own career. If he wants to be a full back but Brian McD has said 'no i want you to play at 6' i am not surprised he doesn't like it. The decision might come back and bite him but it might not. If the lad wants to be a professional rugby league player as a full back who are anybody to tell him other wise. It's like putting a goalkeeper up front as a striker. The lad has trained all his life to be a full back and if thats what he wants to do then i think he should be allowed to follow his dream. All speculation of course but the Leeds board have spat their dummy out here and hung him out to dry. It's a bit petulant to be honest. He isn't even old enough to vote yet and is being bullied by multi millionaire businessmen through the internet. Let the lad follow his dream, good on him for being headstrong enough not to be bullied.

| Good luck to him wherever he lays his hat. If he's not willing to fight for his favoured position now, what's he going to be like in the future? Can't have it handed on a plate in professional sport.

What kind of offer did you have in mind , a guaranteed starting spot at full - back ?

| I think Leeds have attempted to portray Walker badly. I'm sure he did not demand the full back spot: rather asked what his chances are given Golding has recently signed a long term contract. I get the impression this isn't the end of it and the article was released to out pressure on Walker, however, if he reads these forums he will probably be more likely to move on given the abuse he has received. I'm sure there is blame on both his agent and Leeds. Lets see how it pans out but I feel this might not be the end of it.
To give Golding a long term contract when unproven seems very daft now though and appears to have contributed to us losing a potential future star.

of course not that's bloody stupid.
if the money hasn't been so derisiry I'm sure he would have signed. leeds have more than doubled that original offer.
however the biggest culprit is his agent. jacks a kid. he's 17. his parents aren't around to help him.
for me he's being led by his agent

| Some not very complimentary comments from certain players on social media, who seem to think JW has been 'thrown under the bus' and 'hung out to dry' by Leeds

| Do you think Goldings contract has a stipulation that he will be at fullback, if fit for the duration? Show some backbone and fight for your position......that's what "teams" are all about. The club may see Golding as a good player, who has a future in one of several positions.

| I hope that Jack stays as he is a fantastic prospect and he could be a future super star,but ATM he is a 17 year old kid that is only starting his career
Maybe he should remember how Brooke Broughton,Micky Learmonth and Morgan Smith's careers have panned out since leaving on big money contracts and probably on false promises too from that particular club who have a record of being vultures circling junior talent at other clubs and offering silly money in the hope that they get a super star down the line
If he goes the MEH and good luck to the kid as IMO we've plenty more talented kids coming through the academy who would love to wear the shirt that their childhood heroes wore with distinction despite starting at the back of the pecking order

| Ironic that the the ultimate club professional, Mr Burrow, who was asked to play where and when he didnt like or agree with, did so to the teams advantage, has announced his retirement.

| It seems likely all they've done is shown him just how wrong he is to believe the club would back down to his demands if he stuck to them. Which I assume is what his agent's been telling him. Well they haven't.
