Better off without Walters if he insists on playing SR. Be interesting to see how much game time he gets at Wigan. Presumably he replaces KPP as first choice. What squad number has he got?
Give over. He was easily your best Second rower. I get you are upset because he left but make stuff up to try and make yourself feel better

Martin or McDonnell were our best. Then Bentley and Gannon.
Walters looked best at prop but thats not where he wants to play and we have an abundance of Backrowers. That led to the lack of game time and contract issues.

He didn’t play second row for 90% + of games for us last season.

I wouldn't even bite, Christopher.
He changes his user name and which club he supports on a regular basis to make himself feel better. And what he knows about the sport would just about fill the back of a postage stamp.

To say Bentley was better than Walters is just not true, even though Walters barley played backrow, he was still miles better than Bentley when he did.
Bentley was atrocious last season, and bar a few games in the run to the grand final, has been a complete liability since he joined, getting himself knocked unconscious while giving a stupid penalty away pretty much sums him up.
Resigning him was the only real negative in a really good offseason imo. Mcdonnell is a far better version of the same type of player

Ackers has solved our 9 issue for the next couple of seasons hopefully, but we still have question marks over where / if O’Connor and Johnson fit in.
Clearly our back row is overstocked and in terms of quality I think two of Gannon Martin and McDonnell would be my pick. There will be some competition this year for who is retained going forward.
Hudson is a complete wildcard, but his pedigree is good and if he responds to the Leeds environment he could be the extra prop we need.
Excited to see Simpson and one of two other young outside backs come through.

James Macdonnell was our best Second Rower.
I’m not particularly upset he’s left, it happens.
Serious question who in your opinion will be an international first Our best 2nd rower in your opinion McDonnell or Walters? Also if you put McDonnell in front of Martin, who will score more points in his employment than McDonnell ever will I really don't get the hype.
