Talking about what might happen in two years is a bit pointless. What we have right now are two better full backs than Walker, and we need to focus on improving this year and bringing in some forwards to give us a shot at the top sides for next season. Longer term we should be looking at kids who are round and about first team already - Sinfield, Simpson, Edwards etc.
Walker shouldn't be OK with playing reserves or on loan - he's still young and ambitious and will want to play first grade every week. I genuinely wish him well but have never quite understood the hype.

If Zak stays I'm sure Jack will go. We can’t afford three full backs who will all be on a good wage. It would have been really nice to see him have a happy ending at Leeds, but sometimes it just doesn't play out that way. I hope he signs for Hull and goes on to have a successful and injury free career there. We can use the cap space to give us the oomph up front that we've been missing for the best part of decade now.

Anyone think Newman could be a future fullback in a GI style move? I know he's not necessarily got the passing game, but his running game means we should have him on the ball as much as possible.
I also think the club see Handley as a possible fullback should we need him there. Maybe that explains the move for Olpherts. Not a move I'd want Ash to make personally.

Yes to Newman if he develops as a footballer. No to Handley.

Full back needs to link up and have a passing game
Newman has plenty of time to improve and I think he will. In two years he should definitely be a more rounded player and might, might be a shout to replace Hardaker/ Myler at fullback. Don't forget fullback is generally the position where most teams play their best athlete because they get the ball in the hands in pspace more than in any other position. Time will tell.
