Golding has played fullback successfully for the under 19''s including representing england and was man of the match against the Austrialian schoolboys.

Just a shame he's cr ap when it comes to playing big misters rugby.

Kids 19 leave off looks a great prospect to me, not everyone's an Adrian Morley Gary schofield ripping it up for Gb as a teenager. Just ask Peacock could not get a first team game till he was 22.

Hardaker when asked about Golding the other day did mention that he bumped into him on his holiday and that Golding has bulked a bit. Just have to see if they've got the balance right of not going too far with it.

He is a good lad, plenty of potential, wouldn`t mind him at our place.

That is not an answer, just repeating the statement.

What attributes does Golding have that make him better suited to fullback than Suttcliffe?
He is not better under the high ball or at linking in the line, and from what I have seen doesn't have a better running game...

He's better than Sutcliffe at all three of those skills you just highlighted. Is he a better defender or passer though? probably not and if those are deemed higher priority, then Sutcliffe would be your go to. My opinion though, is the team will be better with Golding at fullback, than what we saw with Sutcliffe.

I'd say with Golding it will all come down to physicality. I like the way he looks to hit the line, and he seems more likely to add a passing game than Hardaker ever did. But it will all come to nought if he gets bombed to destruction or can't make tackles count.

My worry with Golding is he doesn't seem comfortable under the high ball. Like watching BJB at FB

If he asked you to jump it would be "how high sir"
