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.

Unless his wage goes up each year starting on a relatively low wage 35/40k first year increasing to possibly 90/100k year 5 hence why we were prepared to listen to offers.
Agree Sutcliffe must not be used as cover should Walker get injured nor should we move Lolohea to cover full back and put Sutcliffe in to cover stand off.
Hence why for me we need to keep Golding as the natural cover at FB.

I would have thought McClelland or even cam Smith are cover for halfback if lolohea has to go to Fullback, or even Watkins goes to Fullback if walker gets injured, as we can cover centre easier. That assumes Golding us not wanted at any level.
But naybe Golding is at Fev to play consistently at Full back to keep the pressure on Walker or to step straight in it required. Better for Golding and the club if he is playing fullback evey week at Fev than sat in the stands waiting for a chance. After all dual reg is essentially our reserve side.

Talk of McClelland loaning to Cas to cover their halfback issues.

they can get stuffed.

It is your 2+ 2 = 5 logic I do not agree with.

This is a friendly game and Furner will want to see as many players under pressure before he chooses his best team.

What a shower of e

Mmm different season same s**t at moment. There are still 4-5 players in this side not good enough, yes there are 2-3 to come in.

You don't think today's squad had a distinctly first team look about it?
