I am really pleased for Alex Walker. There was a time when I wondered if he would ever get his chance to prove himself. I could see him being let go despite his potential. However this season the chance has come his way and he has really taken it. Okay at Halifax he had a nightmare, but he has put that behind him and as you say it will be difficult to drop him.

Worth remembering that the chance has only come because Kear has been asked by the coach to fill in at both centre positions and on the wing because Hendo rates his experience and ability to do so...when everyone is fit Kear will definitly start at FB especially for the playoffs agianst SL teams

It is worth remembering that Alex is only 21 years old, having made his debut in 2014 he is gaining experience with this run in the squad. Elliot Kear it is true to say would be first choice, however Alex by his performance should be keeping Elliot on his toes and should he leave we have a ready made replacement.

Agreed

Agree with you there bosty, walker is doing a pretty decent job but first choice fb has to be kear for me. I think experience counts for a heck of a lot and walker can get caught out now and again, it showed with one particular try by Swinton, he gave the winger a couple of mtrs too much to play with and never got across to make the tackle to stop the try, it's just a positioning thing that I suspect Lear would have done better
