That second offer is nothing to do with money, it was a very good offer, an offer he hasn't turned down.

People try and Interpret what the club say too much with regards his reasons. I wonder when the club will announce that Liam Sutcliffe turned down offer of new four year deal two weeks back, firstly because the money was poor in first year, and secondly because he wants to play a fixed position and not jack if all trades. I guess they will wait to see if their final offer changes things first.

These going on about stand off for Jack are the very same people who will tell you, you can not make it as an half properly until a later age. So on a short career, where do you think a youngster would prefer to start their career to make a name for themselves?

So if someone was prepared to pay you more for basically doing the same job with similar prospects you would turn it down?

Maybe they'll hope to keep this one in house if gossips with loose lips don't go spreading it around the internet and fan base??? Ever considered that?

Oh didumms well it's out there. Tough.

Fine just don't be a hypocrite this time if they put there side of a story out and because it doesn't match the version of events you heard.

We need to do everything in our power to keep Walker. Golding is not the answer.

i'd stick golding to right wing and play walker at full back in the play offs. he can't pick Briscoe, or can he??

This is what I'd do.

If you put either Golding or Walker on the wing you still have the same issues you have with Briscoe. Both are short, and would struggle bringing the ball back. At least they have some pace though

and they can catch!! !!

also walker would give us much needed a threat from full back

Golding offers very little in attack..it doesn't look natural in his game to me. And I've said it before Keinhorst is not a top class centre . we must recruit there if moon stays at stand off

we need a general at half back. an organiser. myler or moon are not the answer.

Myler is a support player, and Moon is a runner. If they are the pairing at halfback next year, who organises the team?

I was staggered to see Jack Walker omitted from the 17-man team today.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face....

my thoughts too. for me keinhorst is a squad player. move moon back and either give lilley a run of games or sign an experienced leader/organising half back.
for me this is what we so obviously need i'm surprised it hasn't happened

I would have played golding too. however for me it has to be walker at full back

Agree on keinhorst,he's ok as a squad player but not a first choice. Todays game would of been walker at fb for me,semi finals should be picked on form and walkers has been well good enough to of kept his place

We know that this isn't how it works at the club.

Yeah this is true unfortunatly

had walker been on the bench, we could have taken Briscoe off (again) and moved Golding to the Wing

and that's what should happen IMHO dump Briscoe and give Walker a 1st team spot alternating him and Goulding at FB/Winger until one secures the place on merit.
But you can be assured Briscoe will be penned in for all Top 8 games even when we lose because BMcD wont be told and wont accept he is wrong

I don't think that's true.

He's dropped Briscoe already this season.

Bin Briscoe
He is a liability.
Walker/Golding, wing/FB
If we lose Walker it will come back to haunt us.
Age is irrelevant, there is no substitute for talent.
If he was an Aussie he would be snapped up.

Dropped for Fridays game

Walkers now signed for 3yrs... so guessing Golding will be playing wing on Friday?!?
A difficult situation as Golding will potentially feel shunted out and let down after improving all year, playing with heart and giving it his all for us... BUT Walker is/will be the better player and fullback.
I've loved Golding's focus and defensive effort level, but he has offered SO little in attack throughout the year that the bigger, TEAM picture has to take priority.
Walker has been shown by GH & BMc he can't dictate - now's his time to show he DESERVES the NO.1 shirt
