Did Brad Walker no harm.

So you think we won't win another game whilst Leigh will win five?
It's possible at a pinch and it would serve us right I suppose but whether that happens or not are you seriously suggesting that the loss of Alex Walker will in any way be a deciding factor? If you are then you have lost what few marbles you have. In the 18 months, this lad had had zero effect on the team's performance whilst his own efforts have been pretty poor. Get a grip.'"
I have no problem with the fact he is going on loan what I do think is crazy is the no recall option. We face a possibility of a packed fixture list for which you need the maximum number of squad players available.
I see your time away did not improve your view on those that do not follow the world according to you, it must be so frustrating that we keep losing thereby restricting you from going on other club’s forums to gloat.
I will ask you, do you think Chester deserves an extension because so far no one has provided a reason why they think it is a good idea and we all know you have an opinion on everything.

| Ill get some stick for this one but I`ll say it anyway because its the truth.
A lot were excited by this signing, the reality is unfortunately we have taken a player that looked very promising and ruined him, Wakefield in its current regime has become a place were players performances dwindle, look at the likes of Tanginoa, came in and looked a world beater, a couple years down the line he is a work horse that is half decent and that is a reflection of the coaching, the structure, the game plan and the trust the players have in the man either side of them. Even the likes of Johnstone is struggling to look good in this side now, he doesn`t even get the ball and when he does he has to make something out of nothing.
If I was a young promising player, I would avoid coming to this club at all costs right now, lets be honest If Walker would have chosen Cas as were on the table, his career would look very different right now.

Yet Tanginoa got in the dream team, TJ in the England squad but for injury and Lyne played for England.
You are just making it up to fit your point of view.
How can you possibly say we have coached the skill out of Walker when he's hardly played due to injury and Covid.
I thought he might be good but he has never shown it in a Wakefield shirt. He hasn't progressed because he's behind a better player.

We took one of the best second rowers in the competition and turned him into a workhorse prop, tell me that is down to low numbers in the front row, why are we down on numbers in front row? Because we got our recruitment wrong.
By the way, we are about to turn one of the most promising young second rowers in the comp into a workhorse Prop now he has apparently found his best position there.
I can`t think of one player in our team that looks better now than they did 2/3 years ago, just my opinion.

| Walker was a desperation signing, with some utility value, when it looked like Hampshire was leaving. He looked way out of his depth defensively in those early 2020 games and that, coupled with injury, put the writing on the wall. If I saw his name on the team sheet I would be scared to death.
He is now surplus to requirements but I also think it's fair to the guy himself to let him have a chance to resurrect his career elsewhere during what's left of the season. Winners all round.

I'd say Westerman too. He didn't play this well at his other clubs.
