On Oledzki, it's obviously going to hinge on how we go with injuries that see how many games he gets. I kinda understand what McDermott means about "accepting he's a prop and going to be sore". It's not just a physical thing it's a mental toughness to it too, look at someone like Peacock, he would be in bits looking absolutely shattered one minute and the next when his team needed a carry he'd be front and centre. Maybe it offers some insight into why other young props such as Baldwinson didn't make it at Leeds.

How did Baldwinson go for Wakefield on BD?

McDermott is going. I actually think he is more relaxed because of it, and seems to have let the shackles go. He apparently asked to finish the season, and that is what they agreed.

Exactly GH may not be everyone's cup of tea but he is nobody's fool. To lose a talent of Walker's stature would have been folly indeed. I would suggest GH is more than a match for the ego-maniac that owns "show me the money"

He had a decent run out. Solid, no frills and no major errors. I doubt he will make the starting 17 very often but certainly will slot in ok once the inevitable injuries start.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

I say it as I see it - GH doesn't get everything right but he is nobody's fool and he was bright enough to realise that he had to compromise if he wanted to keep Walker. Seems like a good piece of decision-making would you not agree?

I don't think anybody really compromised, they just negotiated. Walker won't be the first player he's had to work hard to keep and had more negotiating to do than on others occasions. Just probably hasn't been one that been so out the in public domain with the details.

One thing I suspect GH might do is to sit Walker down and tell him he should be a bit smarter in terms of keeping things in house instead of telling so many.

Something had to give so a good old compromise appears to have been reached - a great result all round

I think the club were equally guilty of bringing things into the public domain and not for the first time either.
