It’s the business we are in isn’t it, Jack has always appeared exhilarating, brave and at times so dangerous, he’s young with a recurring injury record, as an away supporter who always thought he was excellent, so if it suits the player, your new coach, and our club then we will happily take him in.
As an aside, it’s really alarming how many young starlets from all teams are getting so many injuries, Newman, Dodd, Walker, Cator, and Walker, a lot more to add to that list, our game is so fast and athletic it make me wonder if we are asking these lads to perform far to early, regardless of their talent. the physical demands on players now is punishing.
Plenty of older players with wrotten injury records too…. Watched a video of Leeds preparing for the game. One thing that struck me was how unbalanced the modern day player looks. They are massive in upper body , but very limited flexibility. Then legs are often quite spindly and having to cope with all that bulk from up top. Most of them look like injuries waiting to happen to me….

The other consideration for me is that Myler is 32 and Hardaker is coming up 31. 2 years and we need a new FB. It's a loan deal, so gives Walker the opportunity to get some game time, get some fitness and show what he can do. He might not come back to Leeds, but it's a good opportunity for him and being a loan deal means the door is not necessarily closed yet.
Yes there's legs in that for sure. Depends if we can keep him and balance the salary cap whilst sorting the pack out. It just might not be possible to do so..

Seems Hull FC are now the favoured club for Craig's SMTM and his clients
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Needs to be playing regular super league games, an odd few games here or there in the championship / reserves and us isnt going to cut it. He'll get thrown in at Hull and will, due to injuries be straight to the coalface then we'll see if hes going to make it or not.
Good luck to him I say.

I don't understand why we'd help a rival when a play off finish isn't out of reach.
It'll be for the greater good and a necessary evil if if means bringing someone in, in a position of greater value to the team at the minute, ie a quality prop.

The Brent Webb physique. You can understand the amount of injuries when you consider the size, strength and speed of players now. The question is how you negate some of that
