Dupree was a cock up by the club. If Walters goes then that will be of a similar level. He has really improved over the last year and has IMO warranted more minutes this year.

The club cannot talk about building if they are to allow players like him go.

He seems more Baldwinson than Dupree to me, but we'll see.

Up until a year ago, I would have agreed but over the course of the last year, he has improved his ability to make metres after contact and his ball-playing skills have come on. He offers us something different and can cover both the front and back rows.

Walters has potential but if hes holding the club to ransom I'd let him leave, hes had some good games and I'd want to keep him. One injury to a front rower and hes back in the team every week. Its a squad game and at some point squad rotation will have to happen. Smith has already said hes a fan of Walters, hes still young and getting used to being a middle, his time will come if he has patience.

Baldwinson had huge potential, i remember his debut, he had a great game.

Speaking to someone that knows him well, he really struggled with the expectation that was put on him, he was been billed as the next JP and that pressure really effected him.

It would be a shame if he goes but i don’t think the club should be getting into bidding wars, he’s not that good.

If his agent is Craig Harrison he’ll end up at Hull KR probably

Unless they have been permission by Leeds to talk to ither clubs, which I doubt is the case.

It depends if he’s been offered silly money elsewhere, our cap needs managing and we shouldn’t be held to ransom by players.

Walters was excellent in his single game for us. Head and shoulders a SL player IMO. Just needs a run of games to build up some consistency.

I'd like him at Leigh Chris.
