Bang on.

He is 17 FFS, so much time to develop and earn the big bucks. example - He stays, he gets say 20 games next year plays 10 at FB (no way Golding stays fit for the whole year) and 10 wing/half. Similar following year. He proves himself to be the better option at FB.. is now 19 years old, has 50 SL games under his belt and GH is ready to offer a bumper 5 year deal and make him our official number 1 for the 2020 season and beyond.

Not such a far fetched scenario and surely the picture that should have been painted for Jack by anyone who really had his best long term interests at heart.

That's the way I would look at it as well.

Anyone else heard the rumour that Ratchford is off to Wigan next year? Would mean they'd have to mix around Williams, Tompkins and Leuluai, and probably lose one.

It would of course open the way for Walker to go to Warrington, but it's a gutsy move for a side who have struggled so badly this year.

Leuluai signed up last year they didn't mention the length but said he'll join the coaching team when he hangs up his boots but I think he's still only 32. Williams would take big money to sell and don't think they'll sell golden boy Tomkins.

Ratchford only signed a contract extension in May that takes him to the end of the 2020.....could be Warrington's first choice FB for quite a while.....wouldn't want to be backup FB waiting until that long to get a shot

I hope so he's a quality young player & could easily earn his spot at FB through form.

Walker would have to be the one who u-turns. No chance that they'll give him assurances about only playing FB.

People have said what if the lad has read the slating of him online, well hopefully he's read and heard plenty of people pointing out it's unrealistic to expect assurances of only playing 1 position and that he should fight for his place because he has a good chance of winning that fight and he sees sense.

Guess where he's playing for the U19s this week?

Prop?

I couldnt get to the game last night so tried to get updates online, how poor and inconsistent is leeds coverage of the U19s?! Whilst widnes as the away team were updating the scores on their twitter page!
