Jack Walker is impressive overtime I see him play, what is his best position ? He played scrum half in the scholarship, fullback last season and now playing #6

Jack Walker impresses me also. Keep him in the halves.

Yep, I think Walker is definitely one of the best prospects at the club. He reminds me of a young Sam Tomkins

I think he'll stay in the HB's mate given the options we have at FB.

He's another one that is interesting Warrington very much.

He looks huge compared with others at this level, the club website stats have him at 87kg and 1.82m just under 6' he looks more like 6.2-6.3 100kg I assume the club stats are a little out of date.

The Rhinos have got some very special players currently at the club in both academy levels that need to be convinced that their best career pathway is at the club and to get them tied down with a competitive contract and with the belief that as we are a club that is in transition that they will progress to the 1st team if they full-fill their potential,and then reap the rewards salary wise.

This current crop of special players could certainly replicate the Golden Generation that emerged in the early 2000's that made us the Top Dogs for so long and who won so many trophies and form the back bone of our squad for years to come.

You will always get the vultures like Warrington (especially) that will offer top dollar junior contracts in order to poach the top kids from other SL clubs scholarship/Academy sides in the hope that they will be rewarded with the odd diamond that actually make it.

Players like Brooke Broughton,Micky Learmonth and Morgan Smith certainly took the pot of gold option of "money up front" from the Wolves, the first 2 have seriously fallen by the wayside despite having the world at their feet when they left us.

Morgan Smith was a stand out player in our system before he was lured over the pennines by lots of Moran's £'s and IMO he has certainly not progressed as was anticipated,although he still has time on his side

Learmouth came through with Baldwinson and Sutcliffe and was everybit as good as those 2. He left for the money (Wolves) then ended up at Giants. I believe he has now quit the sport for a pro boxing career.

He was playing for York the last time i saw him play

I'm sure he was under the agent "Show me the money" as was Morgan Smith
He (SMTMUK) certainly likes to tout his young proteges out for the best deal irrespective of the end result of how their career will pan out

I noticed a 15 minute highlight video of Smith on YouTube that was put up there by his agent, I reckon he's trying to get the NRL clubs interested in him.

Jack is also with show me the money. Neither the agency or th coaches at Leeds will deal with each other. Jack wants to stay, but Morley is the one trying to negotiate deal. Jack is not the only one with show me the money. McDermott wanted rid of all players with them, hence why changes were made in academy. Jack is hoping for three year deal.

I was just with Sutcliffes dad, and Alex has signed I think he said four year deal for first team. He was nearly drafted in for Wakefield game. He is with a different agency.

heard from a few in the game Hetherington won't talk to SMTM. pathetic when you consider what we could lose

So Morley has been brought in as some kind of mediator as well as a coach? Judging by the name of the agency, I can see why GH may not be their biggest fan

Morley has been bought in but not some sort of contract negotiator (do you really think he's got that in his locker???), people slag off GH, BMc and the club for not being keen on this particular agency but they have good reason not to be keen on them, very much of the football style money hungry who gives a damn if it's the right move for the player type agent....do well to to do as little business as possible with them.

It's got nothing to do with the money, despite the name, you are just assuming there. It is down to contract length, the club believe in long term from young age, where the agency advise different. The fallout with McDermott over this has been going on for eighteen months. Morley is in charge of the academy players now, and part of the reasoning was agent relations also.

Cameron Smith is also show me the money, as is another three players.
