I think he'll feature only if the shop window exercise you've described doesn't pull in any takers.

thing is, he's a good player. but walker is better.
in a salary capped sport unless he can find another position you can't afford him as merely a back up.
also he needs to be playing. he's too good to be sat in the stands

Players need to stay match fit and should be playing every week. We have a new coach who will want to see all his squad in real match action. So selection in friendlies cannot be taken as who is in and who is out.

If Walkers gets injured against Cas who do you think will start at fullback against Warrington?

If Golding was seen as anywhere near 1st choice 17 he'd be in the squad for tomorrows game he isnt so that says plenty.

I really hope Golding stays, in what position I don't really know though. I would not expect to see Walters,Ormondroyd or Mullally anywhere near the starting 17 though.

Don't think we've got the depth in the front row for Mullally to away from the 17 for too long.

That's the point I was trying to make wrt a salary capped sport.
I'm sure Golding won't be on that much and to get rid wouldn't imo save us much on the cap.
Whereas Sutcliffe would be on much more.

Wouldn't argue though which player offers the better value? Bearing in mind most clubs will have the bulk of their playing budget already committed, it might be that the club view is that AG would be the easier to shift.

Golding.Mullally,Ormandroyd and Walters are probably taking £130k to £200k of cap space betwen them
Are these players worth that amount of money on our salary cap?

Golding is the only one worth keeping IMO

Golding got a brand new 5yr contract & the no1 shirt not long ago so im sure his wage reflects that.

I'd be surprised if they were on that much - I can tell you with absolute assurance, one of our 'golden generation' got offered less than a quarter of £130k to carry on playing at Leeds. I can't imagine Leeds would have offered any of those players a bigger contract than that offered to a club legend.

Don't agree with your logic. Furner will soon see that Handley is tackle shy and has suspect hands and the Newman is not ready yet.

Golding is a good rugby player with all round SL skills in 3 positions and 2 of these are core positions.

Walker is unlikely to remain injury free so unless you move our new stand off each time we need Golding. Sutcliffe is not the answer.

So you dont agree with Furners logic because he has said on olenty of occasions todays selection represents what he sees as his best available squad.
Also T.Briscoe will be picked over Newman but the youngster is obviously rated highly enough to get in over Golding.
You should also be aware the Golding was on the list of players available to leave shoild Clubs cone in for them.
Finally not once have i mentioned Suttcliffe either.
