Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[You Know Who]

Thought Smith has always been overrated, to me hes the perfect bench impact player not your starting hooker.

He’s also the perfect ball-playing lock but he doesn’t want to play there.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

That’s like saying Teddy, Keary and Manu wouldn’t get it done. They’re all struggling for cohesion atm and playing like individuals.

He has a 63% win success rate the kid as a 18/19yr old half delivered.

This year Walker is asked to play second role to Keary in the side & in a structured way which is not his natural style of play.

When Keary was out Walker was given more freedom and control. Walker is more eyes up type player and think under Shenji would create plenty for us - he has massive upside pending the style he is asked to play.

Regarding his defensive side the kid is what 20 with an 89% tackle efficiency this year, overall at 80% which is better than Brooks, Hunt, Townsend etc.

Walker hands down would improve our team.

Walker has great players around him he doesn't have that here. He is not the right fit, look at Pearce he left Roosters and failed too
you put teddy or Manu in our side in those positions we instantly improve.
Walker us all hype predicting he will be a flop if he leaves Roosters

Stop Teddy and you now stop the Chooks. Teddy is coming back to the field very quickly and so are the Chooks. Don’t get me wrong, Teddy will still win a game on his own, but not as often in the past.

Chooks should be sticking solid with Walker, but as a club they are not known for their patience , they want instant success. For that reason I think they have signed a big name replacement

 

[hsvjones]

So does anyone know if that Buzz rumour is true as it's been very quiet since?

I wonder how Fulton is fitting in as well

I'm not that confident. There is some risk involved.

I'd love to see this signing though. There is a chance this kid could improve us significantly.

Probably signed Louis Dodd or Mitchell Pearce

I am sure they can fit both under there cap and keep Walker at the same time

Filling our halve potions is the highest risks positions in the comp atm.

The pressure on anyone who enters the role is massive & they will absolutely hammered if results don’t happen.

I have no issues going for an experienced head but they will all be stop gap solutions and besides we need 2 halves anyway let alone backups.

Cooper Cronk is leading the call at the Roosters on the halves you can see they have changed the style this season.

People are over thinking things with Walker.
He isn’t the reason the Roosters suck of late in last 2 games with Keary and Manu they have scored 1 try & in the 3rd game beat the Dragons by 1pt. Before that when Walker played they averaged 17.6pts a game beating Warriors, Souths and Parra (whilst losing as well).

Our biggest weakness right now is someone who creates & we want someone to build around. Name a 18/19 yr old who has 37 try assists, 27 drop outs, tackles at 85%+ runs over 60mtrs a game and offloads as well with 50 games under his belt. Sure the Roosters quality has an impact on that but lets be real the kid deserves some credit he can play.

There aloud to have 40 roster spots aswell you know cause they have a had no luck with injury over the past few years

 

[Halbrowne61]

I believe tigers are a million to one to get walkers signature

If not longer. You can put the pen through him joining us.

 

[Halbrowne61]

The Rorters have employed Cooper Cronk as their halves coach and Walker doesn’t fit with Cooper’s structured style.

Think you are 100% correct BT1.

It'd be hilarious if it wound up being Moses like a few posited on here.

He is against it as he wants Brooks to stay, but seriously we can't just keep waiting on Brooks to come good, if Walker is available he is a huge upgrade on our current 7's

Firstly Brooks is playing well this season. It's nothing to do with waiting for Brooks to come good. That boat has sailed. You are seeing Brooks play well. He has put on some great tries in the attacking zone and he has controlled games. If you are waiting for him to be a marquee player than you are going to be disappointed because in all his time in the NRL he has never been a marquee player and I can't see that changing at any point in his career. There are very few marquee players in the game. If anything I think Brooks is playing well above himself because he has completely outplayed several quality representative halves this season.

Secondly we need two halves.

Can we get better than Walker and Brooks for next season ? Personally I think there is no chance at all of this happening. I don't think we'll get one half better than Brooks.

Walker if we could get him though would have to be about the best option we can get.

Either up you meds dosage or quit telling lies. You're pathetic.

U ok?
