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.

Thats how I see it. To me he's collamity, just runs around aimlessly and slips over a lot. Seems to carry a lot of unnecessary weight without much strength behind it. I'd much rather give someone younger a go as he's just making up numbers.

I also think of players such as Alex foster, Elliot minchella, Liam hood (I know he's a 9) who we've let go in similar time to keeping Walters who i all think have much more potential. Just seems a bad decision.

Also I know everyone keeps Saying he's a fringe player. But with all the injuries we've had he seems to be in the 19 more weeks than not. I think that's why it's brought to people attention more.

But I also agree with others, it's probably not our biggest concern. Although isn't he off contract at the end of this year anyway?

Walters looked a great prospect in the short time he played in 19's and when he first broke into first team. Not sure WTF the conditioning team have done to him but he just looks and odd shape now and has lost that line speed he had to begin with.

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

He's a mate of a lad I work with, scored 4 tries in a recent trial in a Warrington reserve game. Pretty fast according to my colleague and out of contract with Carnegie this season + not getting a lot of game time.

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.

Yes Kirke was a passenger, I never said otherwise. I did say and stand by saying that Walters makes him look like Jamie Peacock, hence him and other fringe players being a key issue.

Re transition.... Yeah OK , whatever

Baldwinson & Oledzki named in Fev squad for Sunday's game v London, Walters not in the Fev 19 so there you go.

Nah, McDermott doesn't give youth a chance.

You were saying...

In all seriousness it is poor management of a young player, Oledski will have played for 2 different championship teams and our academy within a month, how is he supposed to develop properly when he spending his time learning new systems?

Another kick in the teeth for Baldwinson if Fev's 19 actually reflects how we are going to set up

It would also mean we are again running with just 3 props

Didn't think Oledzki would be in the 17 unless they were doubts over a couple of starters (maybe they still are and a late decision to be made?)

Not really Mark, no. I just know when people are full of it, which you very much are with your transition comments.

I'm in my 40s so I don't use phrases like "giving it large" either.

Enjoy the game tonight!

Oledzki just got off team bus at Halliwell Jones, spot on bench maybe or 18th man.
