Which fringe players of the past would you compare to Josh Walters? He makes Ian Kirke look like Jamie Peacock.
How many? Quite a few once they got fit and got some match time. We struggled before then because we had to rely too much on Div1 level players like Josh Walters.
No you didn't.

Sir Kev S points out some of the fringe players we have seen over the years add in Anselme wrt Kirke his last 3yrs epitomised "passenger".
Easy to blame the likes of Walters when very few 1st team regulars actually performed until very late in the season/middle 8's place was confirmed.
Onto the transition period look back at what i actually said it had always started my pov was the Club in terms of enough planning & recruitment etc hadn't there's a difference.

Sounds like Oledzki will get to play tomorrow, which excites me. Cannot wait to see what he has to offer at this level at such a young age.

Be good to see how he gets on hopefully it'll be the start of a long & great career in Blue n Amber.

Nah, McDermott doesn't give youth a chance.

I see Warrington have signed Prell from Yorkshire Carnegie.
Has anyone seen him play?
Decent convert from Union?

My only issue with Walters is that there is no sign at all of him ever being a good player and I'd rather players with potential get a go ahead of him.

Ive seen him and was always impressed with him but Championship RU to Super League is a big step up.

This is very true.

Plus the overall involvement of a winger in SL will be 10x their involvement in a Championship RU game.
