Dwyer would make an even worse choice of Scrum Half in my opinion. He’s busy and energetic without a doubt, but he’s got little structure and discipline (not penalties) in play.

what possible reason would you have to drop Walker?

I say it tongue in cheek as surely you must know by my previous posts I`m a Golding fan and feel he hasn`t been given a fair crack even when Walker was out injured.
To play the like of Lolohea and Sutcliffe at FB ahead of Golding is embarrassing.
I like Walker don`t get me wrong and I`m sure he will be one for the future and he looks reasonably good in a poor Leeds team.
Probably better than Golding yes but like I say I`m bigging Golding up as a fan of his.

I'd thought of Dwyer too but actually his distribution I don't think is good enough. He has enough running and D to play 7 but that's about it.

I like the lad but hooker is probably his best position. Really you need both halves able to kick effectively and create something. Otherwise you have nothing when your 6 is tackled, and you're too easy to shut down by the opposition.

Peteru has been solid if unspectacular in a struggling side this year. His average carry is pretty good.

I wonder why Oldeski is being left out? He's not the finished article yet but I can see him and Holroyd doing some real damage in a couple of years.

I wonder how far away from playing 7 Golding would be. He's quite a skilful lad but I guess if he had the passing/kicking game he'd already have been considered.

His size and attributes would be better suited there IMO.

Walker will probably develop into being the full England FB within the next three years, unfortunately for Golding he's come through at the same time as him. That's just life.

He's not got quite the pace or the power for wing, or the size for hooker.

He is a good player but he probably needs to get a start at a Huddersfield or Wakefield and develop in first grade for someone else.

If Walker gets injured and Golding doesn't get selected then he should be looking for a new SL club.I personally would keep him as I think he's a good back up for WalkerThey have the same agent and he even said Golding is good but not as good as Walker.I think Golding will be at another SL club next year.

Yes I agree with this and can see him at Huddersfield as a possibility.
He is a shoe in for a place at Fev but he prefers to stay in SL and would love that to be at Leeds and who would blame him.
Saying that if Leeds get relegated and Walker jumps ship he might get his wish to stay at Leeds!!

Are people talking about the same Dwyer that I watch and pull my hair out about every week or do we have another that weve kept really quiet about???

Whilst I'm not disagreeing re Dwyer, did you feel the same about Rob Burrow's performances at 9? He was so much worse.

The most impactful I remember Golding being was when he came off the bench and played at hooker. You'd think he have more structure that Dwyer in his play, so it would have been nice to see him interchanging with Lunt. He'll be gone though, sadly.

Nah Golding isn’t a SL 9 for me. A good 9 should be very game-aware, absolutely solid in middle D and with some real craft of distribution.

Corey Johnson will most likely become the Leeds 9 for the next decade once he matured over the next year or two. It reminds me a bit of when Diskin came through - different players but you knew he was going through to first team and staying there.
