Newman's a pretty potent attacking force from centre, an increasing rarity in the modern game. Makes more sense to me if you leave him there and buy a top notch FB as needed.

Craig Harrison confirmed we've got a clause in the loan deal to make the mover permanent, but we'd have to trigger it pretty quickly by the sounds of it.

Think Sutcliffe will be at Hull next season too going off what he said

The requirement to trigger early is probably to enable Leeds to plan for next year.

Which would suggest Jack's up for a move - otherwise why bother with the clause?

Just hope he strings a run of games together for us. Think that could be the only thing that scuppers it.

Seems like a really good kid too. If his debut was anything to go by we've got a good un

He’s a top player and very professional in his approach. Just been absolutely dogged by injuries this far…..

Agree with this Shabba and he’s been almost too fearless for his own good at times, shades of Bryan Robson. I spoke to JP once about him and he described him as really brave. If JP says you are brave, then that will do for me.

The big IF and unknown is his long term fitness and potential to keep playing SL for many years. I remember it looked like Johnny Lomax would never get injury free but he’s now had a great career. Not saying he is that good.

We let Golding leave in large part because him and Walker were battling it out for the FB spot.

He wants to play at FB, not in the halves, he’d have to develop parts of his game but longer term there is potential and given we have Myler and Zak , you can’t keep 3.

It could be one that looks like a mistake in 2 years time. Whether it does not will probably depend on if he can avoid further injuries.

Good post, looked great when he first broke through, but had such bad luck with injuries, I know a bit has been spoek about his passing, but thought it looked good on Sunday, gave some good passes out, certainly an improvement on Shaul.

Next year we have also signed Tex Hoy from Newcastle Knights, who is a fullback or stand off, so if Walker stays we will have Walker, Hoy, Connor and Truman fighting for those pivot positions, big improvements on Reynolds and Gale.

If I was Hull, I'd see how he goes the next 3 or so games before making a decision.

I see this as a mistake by Leeds. Shortsighted in the extreme. Hardaker is getting on, ratchford too- and without a Sinfield /burrow in the side is the wrong type of fullback anyway. walker is the future- those complaining he hasn’t developed further- well whose fault is that really????
If anyone can develop a slight young lad with skinny legs who already has the requisite skills into an excellent fullback- ermmmmm a top class slight full back with skinny legs Brett hodgson certainly can!
What made Leeds an excellent side was their exceptional homegrown talent, yes there was a particular golden era but regardless the club seems to be moving away from this and it can only be of detriment I feel.
Look at how doing that has worked out, your biggest names in tetevano and sezer have been absolute duds.
Golding meanwhile has been great at Huddersfield, he’s come off the bench and played at fullback, wing, centre, second row LF and hooker for us, it’s like having several extra players on the bench. Played with a smile on his face and brings energy and enthusiasm.

Ratchford getting on won’t hurt us too much but agree it could be a mistake
