Need to remember the serious injury to Golding when he first started out.



I think the decision to play could be tactical. Golding when the defence needs bolstering I.E. Hull, Wigan, Castleford etc and Walker for the more attacking side I.E. Salford, Leigh etc



Rotate until one or the other develops their individual weaknesses.



Think this will be a fantastic scrap next year.



Golding will play where he is selected, not sure about Jack though - courtesy of the media of course

Agree rotating could be the right idea, but we know we are in a semi final now, so who would pick in that game?



Personally Im still unconvinced by Walker's defence, but as we know we will be tested next week I would use Cas as the acid test to whether we could trust him in a semi final.

Oh I know it is, but some people won't, that's what I'm saying.

Looks as though he'll be a very good player, but why would Hull make an offer? We currently have Shaul, Connor and a French kid called Miloudi who we've just given a professional contract who can all play fullback.

He has the class to play in any of the backs and certainly could make a great centre but these days centres have to make a high number of tackles and IMO this would take the edge of his attacking play due to his lighter physique and he could be wasted there if he didn't get much ball. So I think he has all the makings of an international stand off and he could provide the answer to our problems in this position.



Although he will grow stronger physically I would not want him to get too big as he could lose his zip and balance which are great assets. IMO Williams at Wigan looks to have lost a bit of edge with too much work in the gym.

ask Radford. hull, Castleford and leigh made offers plus Melbourne and gold coast were in the background too

The amount of bo***cks that some people post on here, I've just put the record straight. If Jack was that bothered, he wouldn't have told me pal? Believe what you want, but I'm not one to claim to be in the know, it's all from the horses mouth.

Spot on that mate. When I suggested 2 NRL clubs had made contact, I was ridiculed.

certain people me things and vice versa. I have never betrayed a confidence until now. the much ridiculed, by some, gotcha, gave me he self same info months ago pal. people like to argue and put people down with snide remarks on here. I find it pathetic really.

I think people are being a bit harsh on walkers defence. I think in his games he's made a few important tackles. And he's much faster than Golding. I would agree Golding currently is better in defence, but to say unconvinced by walker in my opinion is just a tad harsh.



As for who to play in the semi, with our non structured style of attack we are heavily reliant on players that can pull something special out of the bag. Golding isn't ever going to do that for us, he can't even break the line. Where as walker has scored quite a few tries in his short stint, I remember at least one being a match winner. Also the way he broke the line from nothing last week to create a try. That's the player we need in our side.

And there is the problem, Walker is the best in attack no question. However, he has yet to fully prove himself in defence in terms of try saving tackles. Whilst Walker has scored a few, Golding has saved a few. The scales are balanced at the moment for both players.



Personally,although I know Ashton, I prefer Jack's attacking style to watch. But then again a safe hand in defence in the semi's????



I think a previous post suggested Walker for the Car game. I agree. That will be the perfect test to see how he stands up to our potential grand final opponents!

Dot think so.

Walker clearly wants first team rugby sooner rather than later, preferably at full back.

We have the best full-back in the league contracted to 2022.

Looks to be a special player though.
