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.

I always did like your other half. The brains of the partnerhsip

66-6 to Leeds tonight.
Didn`t London Skolars beat them the other week?

Rob Burrow has confirmed on Twitter that Muizz Mustapha, Owen Trout and Callum Mclelland all make their debuts tonight.

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.

As much as i would like to see these youngsters play I dont want to pay £15 after our recent performances. That really isn't like me to miss a home game but that's how despondent I am right now about the level of our play. Also Saints v Warrington on the goggle box is the one that is going to get my time

I’m going along for a few reasons.

Gives me a chance to go in the Southstand again for a change.

It is a game where I am confident in seeing us win (a rareity these days)

I really want to see the youngsters have a run.

I’m actually looking forward to this rather than the usual anxiety of another poor performance in the league.

l.p.

I agree. We know Sutcliffe is not the answer at 6 so IMO we need to see what McLelland can do in a full game. I would tell him he has the full 80 minutes barring injury. To pull him off if he makes a mistake would send the wrong signal especially as this has not happened to our previous stand offs during a game despite their many errors.

Thought Watkins would be due a rest

Same

No, he needs games for match fitness and confidence. Glad he's playing.

Happy with that side for this game, hopefully a comfortable confidence boosting win

A good mix of youth and experience, especially as the older players (except jjb) all have something to prove
