It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg



Agreed. The discussions about Walker are a bit of light relief over the current season and I hope we get to look back on how well he has developed at Leeds in a few years time.

I fully believe he has talent (I did watch the whole game, albeit not in one go BTW and fast forwarding through chunks because it was at different times boring and embarrassing). Due to this thread I've rewatched the KR tries a few times, and IMO Walker was not up to scratch on 6 out of 7 of their tries. Thats my opinion, if you think differently good for you.

Whilst comparisons to the NRL are difficult, one thing that struck me when I've had a look is that most NRL fullbacks don't even debut until the age Walker is now. That may be why they look more like the finished product on day one. Given the relative quality of Aussie vs British fullbacks, learning the trade in a lower pressure environment seems to be the better model.

Good to see a chance for a bunch of the younger players to have a crack. Whilst I don't care about the cup itself, particularly this year, it does give a chance for these lads to show what they can do, and train and play with the first team. From that perspective it might not be the worst thing to get through a few rounds.

Hope to see a couple of the young ones in and praying no more injuries and absolutely cannot afford any suspensions. Singo - keep it under control with your brother and fellow Cumbrians.

Peter Smith makes some pretty regular cock ups in the YEP doesn't he! This week it's a picture of Harry Newman with the caption underneath saying it's Callum Mclelland (seems to get his pictures mixed up every week) whilst also stating the game is tonight.

No issues with either Walker or Golding, but both are only good prospects for SL full back neither are at the stage where they can say they are quality full backs who would walk into other SL teams . Candidly they are not a Hardaker, no where anywhere as good as Brent Webb, both need to learn, but if they have the right attitude, temprememt and willingness to learn, they will grow into quality Players. How good is Walker, he can catch the high ball, good at one on one tackles, great going forward, however he has a poor kicking game as shown at HKR, funny thing I never saw any experienced player pull him to one side and tell him straight to keep the ball in play from the kick off and the drop out. What he did was inexcusable, no idea what got into his head., his goal line defence is poor, he was never in the frame for most of their tries. It's pointless saying at his age he will make mistakes, you can't make mistakes of this magnitude when we are letting in 6/7 tries. Unfortunately he is still a young lad, he is learning, he is getting better, but he won't get better when the team is getting hammered every week. The lad needs a rest an arm around him and some one on one quality coaching and if that means dropping him and playing someone else in the short term then so be it. After all do we want a quality player in a couple of years time and for the next 10 years, or do we want to end up seeing him going downhill because he has been pushed to far too quickly.

I'm letting the whole Walker thing drop. My other half read what I've said over my shoulder and said I was being nasty. Not sure if she meant to Walker or Gotcha...

Anyway, its always fun when there are debuts galore. Hopefully all three lads get decent time and show what they can do. Plus its Wellington's home debut. Best name in years.

In trout and Mclelland case, I think we would be wasting an opportunity by not starting with them, if we put on the bench. They should really be starting the game, then change if do not work.
