| Walker is decent footballer but I do think this season we've spent far too much effort on squad players or development players. Walker is I suspect only ever going to be a squad player at wakefield and along with minns, evans, devenatru butler largely been ineffective. hope it goes well for him as not playing and not being on loan hasn't done him any favours

| Not sure with Walker,talented ball handler but not yet had that defining game that shouts out 'definite keep' Not had a lot of game time and may come back to haunt us, who knows, but either way good luck Brad,you've done us proud.

Because sadly he's not quite good enough.
If he were what some think, he'd have got a gig with another SL club, it's that simple.
I was a fan a few years back, but since then I can't say he's ever really impressed, not even in the reserves.
I think it's simple really. Not big enough to be a forward, not fast enough to be a HB.
Where as IMHO Hampshire had real value as a utility player I'm not sure Walker does. Hampshire could turn a game from numerous positions and I think we have missed him a little. He's not the superstar of a certain posters dream but he had his moments. Don't think Walker has which is why Rocky is at Cas and Walker isn't.
That said I'd be delighted if he proves us wrong, I feel that for most who leave, just rarely happens.

I hear this a lot but they never do come back and haunt us, hopefully not with Keighley or we are in bother. Why? Because the coaches generally know what they are doing where players are concerned.

| Not particularly bothered who’s going ,it’s the who’s coming in that concerns me .yes I’d have liked batch to stop being a Wakey lad n all that and playing some decent rugby ,but we can’t keep everyone and over the years we’ve certainly lost some talent but we keep marching on . Miller is playing some of his best rugby in a long time ,but it hasn’t always been the case , even earlier in this season he wasn’t dictating the play ,as all those times spend on oppositions try lines will testify without breaching it ,so for me a change of scenery will do both player and club some good .Hopefully tonight with a win contract talks can start in earnest , and we can see what pulling power Willie has in the world of rugby .

I too was surprised how little influence he had in the reserve fixtures I attended. The Antichrist Gaskell ran the show at that level.

| I just hope we replace him with better, if we don’t then it’s a bizarre situation. Walker had done a good job when ever he’s had the chance to play. Good luck to him.

| It's his decision, if he wants more game time then championship is where he'd have to go. He was only going to be a squad player, sadly never going to be first choice. Always did all right but that's about it. Good luck to him I hope he finds success with Keighley.

Might not be our decision. The current CEO at Keighley has a history of splashing the cash.

Aye true, if he’s getting paid more or the same for part time, who can blame him

| With Walker leaving and probably Miller as well I’d take a good look at Corey Norman who’s contract with Toulouse will be null & void due to relegation.

There is something about him, but I can't put my finger on it

We can do better than him. Has skills but no regard for his rteam.

| I was mulling over Norman. The lads a talent for sure, just an absolute Nobber as his past shows.

So was Brough. Sadly if you exclude players for being knobbers you’ve severely restricted your options.
As I heard Kear say once that some of his best signings were not the kind of people he’d invite round for lunch.
