put Walker in a good team and he would be a class act
Still doesnt make sense to me to use a quota spot on an ageing winger to play full back when we have Walker,Hardaker,Moy and litten particularly as we are crying out for a strike centre and a powerful front row.
Wasnt blighted by injuries when at HKR because their Physios recognised and worked on the leg areas that they needed to build up,and we certainly have some incoming players with suspect injury records.
He has pace and unfortunately all players with pace are susceptible to hamsting injury.

Have you forgotten Cartwright is third choice coach?
That said for once having been turned down previously may have done us a favour

He was only there four months and he missed five games.

Do you think Jack Walker would be first choice full back at Canberra Raiders?

Says it all really doesn't it!!!! IMG take note (but they won't). I guess we will have sold more since the last announcement of 6000 plus and although the deadline was yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if they now use that old James Clark trick and announce an extension of the deadline 'due to popular demand',

I wondered in the first instance if introducing an early deadline date compared with other years was a mistake but it will be interesting to see what we end up with. Although those predicting 2000 and 3000 max were in cloud cuckoo land (we are made of sterner stuff than that) but I have to admit that its more than I thought One things for sure we must have the most long suffering fanbase in the history of Super League!

whilst i tend to agree, the club has got themselves into a right mess on and off the field, at the end of a players contract we need to be more ruthless, not just giving players another year or 2 because he's an 'ull lad for example, talks the talk, trains well but doesn't do it on the pitch.

as for Walker, just unlucky i reckon, probably on a fair whack and his injury record come into consideration in him being told he can leave.

probably not but at 25 is much better long term value at Hull FC than Rapana is at 35

Debatable given that Walker has left a club five times now in three seasons.

Myler and Cartwright have presumably decided that Rapana is a better bet and offers more on and off the field.

Walker has played 47 games since 2020

Rapana has played 101 since 2020.

Walker is one of those guys who has talent but can't stay on the pitch

I don't know what the price freeze was. I paid £310 for mine last night. Today it's the same price?

Walkers contract is up at the end of 2025 anyway and is free to negotiate with other clubs now. If we wanted to keep him long term we’d have to offer him a new deal pretty soon. As much as I think he’s a good player at this point I wouldn’t be offering him a new deal, that would be a huge gamble in the hope that he has a brilliant and relatively injury free 2025.

I'd doubt Walker is good enough to play FB for an NRL side.

Released by Leeds, not wanted by Rovers and Hull, but would get a contract at Canberra.

It's what Rapana brings off the field, he will help us recruit better overseas players in the future too.

Thirkill has apparently been spotted at Hull Uni

Won't believe anything until he passes the Instagram test

Wonder if Canberra know that we’re trying to offload someone who’s better than the guy who played fullback for them just about all season and they offered a new contract to

All in all whilst I think Walker is unfortunate I think the club are making the correct decision in terms of moving on all 3 of Smith, Tindall and Walker.

Rapana has been brought in to be first choice FB and mentor to the likes of Moy and probably Litten too so it's unlikely Walker would get a chance to take the field. Smith has tried and given his best but again he's very unlikely to make it in to the 17 in 2025. Tindall never really got an opportunity and thats tells its own tale when he couldn't push his way past two young inexperienced players in Martin & Barron and with Briscoe again he's unlikely to feature in any 17.

These are the decisions that successful clubs make to make then stronger by not hanging to players that won't play much of a part, its the equivalent of keeping stuff instead of throwing away that you think 'that'll come in handy', only to not use it and throw away years later.

All 3 players deserve the chance to carry on playing so for their own careers they need to move on.

Wildey be stalking Thirkill

Regarding Walker, he is clearly talented - but troubled by injury, probably on a decent contract.

Would have been surplus to requirements with Rapana, Moy, Litten & Hardaker.

Have to support the club in such decisions, while wishing those deparing all the best for the future.

Sounds like it was a show

This what happens when you penny pinch and have a non rugby men in charge, even if it's true about spending full cap, off the field it sounds like a lower championship club.

IMyler first job was to fully access the whole club and he must have looked at what we had and thought wow, fair play for him for making the changes he has, the hub will have helped, but he has still changed abs added experience to the staff.

Having read that maybe some of the criticism aimed at Grix was a little harsh.

appalling really when we were all supposed to invest in the club believing that the administrators were doing all they could to to ensure we got value for money. As far as we are all concerned the expression 'blind faith' comes to mind. I have to say after coming on here to criticise the appointment originally I stand corrected and I feel that Myler has done a really good job so far.
