TBH if the lad hasn't got the balls to stay on and fight for the No1 shirt at Leeds against a very average FB in Ash Golding then you would question his attitude any way

well i've thought that, ive seen goulding have more bad games on sky than good, and after he got that contract sky was waxing lyrical over him (putting him over like a pro wrestling commentary does, funny that)

He has a touch of scott grix about him, you can imagine him having disasterous games quite easy.

When we recruited Dagger from Wakey he started playing for our U19's at SO, not FB. So another interpretation (if Walker really has signed) could be that half back is where the club view his future.

Whatever happened to players saying "i'll play anywhere the coach asks me to, except prop!"

"I have always wanted to play for Doncaster, ever since I was a 9 yr old growing up in Sydney. Even when I started to play NRL and State of Origin I still longed to come over to Dorset and see those cobbled streets and supporters trooping into the Doncaster ground. At last I have fulfilled my life ambition, although I would have preferred to stay at HB rather than prop, but that's a small price to pay"

Pretty sure Doncaster isn't in Dorset Winslade!

It will be interesting to see the depth of McDermott's succession planning following the loss of the rest of his Holy Trinity. I hope he makes a better job of it than happened at the Wire.

This is in Dorset

I am afraid that was my quirky sense of humour. The Hovis bread advert with a sort of Yarkshire accent and brass band playing in the background was as pointed out, shot in Shaftesbury, Dorset and is probably the typical image an Aussie might have of Northern Rugby League.

To be fair money, as always, will be playing a big part im sure. It was a tactic that worked in getting Morgan Smith over here, and we are there again with Walker possibly.

Perhaps we're offering him more money and an assurance that we see him as a full back long term. Leeds are coming in with a low ball offer and not giving him the same resssurance we are with his future.

He says he doesn't want to play any other position except FB.
