People keep going on about why us hull and hull kr getting players of each other is the distance of travel no youngster wants to leave home at 20 so they go to a club what is not hard travel to which is 1 of these 3 clubs. Has for hull youngsters if the first team coach does not give them a chance to come through It looks like the Acadmey not working but looking at the young full back and others what have come through the system it must be working so need to keep signing our youngsters.

God i hope your right, will free up some space one the cap and on the treatment table

Looks like the Walker to HKR prediction is correct :- www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... tory.html#!

If you're referring to wacker then I wish someone would do a count of minutes spent on the pitch cos he rarely did more than 15/20 mins per game last year. He's another player I really wanted to do well, but for whatever reason, he's dropped off and the aggression/tenacity appears to have gone; perhaps a change of scenery is what he needs; good luck wacker.

he has suffered from three knee reconstructions, for me he never got over the first one before he was playing again against the Giants, where he ruptured it again, & then again this season, what is a shame for a young lad with so much potential.

If he is going to KR & he finds his form you will have a good player, but since his injury he hasn't sown any real form, but a change of clubs could change his luck, & playing alongside his brother could spark I'm on.

I can remember when we brought Mason to Cas I thought we would have been better served by Jonathon's brother.

Agree with that Frank. Adam Walker has had a great year at HKR.

With three serious knee injuries already at a very young age,no surprise that Hull FC had second thoughts and other clubs will now be sceptical about signing him.

@HDMsport: #HullKR have signed Castleford prop Jonathan Walker on a three-year deal. Full story and interview in today's Mail.

Also confirmed on BBC Sport and SportingLife
Best of luck Jonny

Interesting comment from Jonathon

"I'd been at Cas a long time but I didn't feel my career was progressing as well as I wanted it to and I wasn't enjoying it there."

Nice parting shot there. Wonder what as gone wrong ?

Reports coming from Hull FC are that Walker failed a medical with them. How as he passed one at HKR ?

Good question although I don't think there was ever any official info that he had failed the said medical.
One could if they wished speculate though.
The HKR medical was independently done by all accounts.

We didn't need an excuse to sign Yokozuna I guess

His brother might have taken his place for the medical, to guarantee he got to play alongside him. lol. If you can keep him on the field he might do well, but at Cas he wasn't on the field long before he was cream crackerd meaning he played for 15 to 20minutes, when he did play.

Ihave got more aggression than Walker and i am 60 year old good bye sad boy.

He showed great potential before his knee problems, but all I could remember from him last season was the dropped ball in contact with the opposition and staggering off the field exhausted after 15 minute stints.

Still a change of scene and playing along side his brother could work wonders for him
