Shaul did not look too happy on Saturday and did not sound that happy in an interview on Radio Humberside, but he has a testimonial next year so I’d reckon he won’t be keen to leave FC.

Walker is still a fair bit younger than Myler and Hardaker, but he needs game time now. It is disappointing that he could end up moving on, but as someone else remarked on here some weeks ago, at some point our club has to stop being the RL equivalent of a donkey sanctuary if we want to start progressing again. Like Ash Golding before him, there just isn't space for him in the position he wants to play.

I don't mean that we need to be ruthless everytime someone gets a long-term injury. I think the club usually does a good job in sticking by players who have suffered misfortune - Stevie Ward being a case in point (can't comment about off-field support he received though). Rather, we need to be a lot more careful in handing out longer-term contracts. Younger players getting 3+ yr deals need to have shown real star potential in the first grade to deserve this IMO (5 year deals should be a thing of the past unless we have clearly unearthed the next Ellery Hanley); likewise players at the back ends of their careers should not expect big deals unless they are turning out Sinfield/Peacock/Roby-esque performances week-in, week-out. There's still a lot of dead wood under contract, and long contracts for too many of our players have put them in a comfort zone that is not always translating into on-field performances.

Someone like Liam Sutcliffe is hanging in by the skin of his teeth IMO; I still don't see him as a first choice pick in any position when everyone is fit. Looking at the videos of 2015 he is half the player he was back then. Let's hope Smith can help him nail down his own position.

As much as i'd like to keep Jack, it doesn't make salary cap sense to do that.

I would be really surprised if he comes back.

Unfortunately, he's a player who has gone downhill since he was 17 rather than improved. Incredible story winning the GF at that age, but will either end up lower end of SL or in the championship.

I think those saying he could be a centre, winger or half either don't understand those positions, or don't see how small Walker is. He's just not physically up to it in the modern game.

I’d love to see Jack become the player his talent and dedication deserves. He’s still so young and if plays well at Hull, I would like him to come back fully match fit for next year…..

Where does he play if Zak and Myler are fit ? He's 3rd choice between those. Unless a season long loan ?

Funny how people say he could play wing, centre or half back, but then we've seen for years how the club have tried to shoe horn players into the team. Walker came onto the scene with a bang, but I don't think he's come close to reaching the levels everyone expected when he was supposedly being chased by NRL clubs. Good luck to the lad. I hope he manages to stay injury free and there's interest in him

He’s way too slow, for wing or full back, no handling or kicking skills for halfback, injury prone, missed far more than he plays.
Its not a loss if he leaves permanently.

Made his debut in '17 and has only played 63 games.

I don't think it's a loss.

Completely agree. Compare him to someone like Welsby and he's nowhere near
