And let’s not forget other youngsters are out of contract too such as Scurr, poss Doyle, we will want to keep but can’t keep them all

Pure speculation but let’s say Fev have offered him £50k pa, would this then be a case of ‘outbid in this example is acceptable’ ie they are paying far more than he is worth?

I realise it's a notional figure, but I don't think fev have had anyone near those numbers this century.
Jarrod Samut was asking for a less than that figure and we really wanted to sign him at the time. Weren't to be. I can live wi that.

I agree it’s just a figure, the point I was trying to make was to fans saying we shouldn’t be outbid when trying to retain our youngsters but everyone has to have a value

Not a big loss for me, like a previous comment has said, his one on one is poor.
A turnstile fullback as me dad used to say...!

I don't mean any disrespect to the lad but I am a bit bemused that Fev would want or need him. He's probably our level at the moment but no higher unless I'm missing something.

I think some are being a little harsh on Pickers here. He has come a long way from where he started with the Bulls and he is pretty solid under a high ball. I’ve not seen him put many down recently (queue him dropping a big one in the playoffs now….!)

Overall he is safe under the high ball, doesn’t often try to break the line on kick returns but looks for contact instead. Might be his choice or he’s coached to do so.

I think he backs up well and has decent attacking skills. Defensive one on ones is a weak point but it always looks worse for a fullback as he’s the last line of defence.

That said, if Fev are super league ready then I don’t think Pickers is the finished starting fullback they would want but for a top level championship side, he’d do just fine.

I agree he's come on a heck of a lot since 2017. If he could sort out his one on one defence he'd be the full package for this level. He's still a young player and given we have no obvious replacement I'd rather keep him.

Noticed he’s injured and his season is over but no confirmation of what had happened. Does anyone know why?
