walker

[KNUCKLES]

He's only better than Aitken if he is actually playing.

Thanks for stating the obvious lol
You really keep me on my toes.

Walker is great value for money when he is on the field.

Unfortunately, he is too stupid to stay on the field, so his value has significantly diminished.

Could be a blessing in disguise for us. Use it to our advantage

 

[Budgie]

.... who is being paid a fortune for being one.

Yep. That's exactly what he's being paid for.
I hate being overqualified for jobs!

The point is that he has form in sidelining himself through moronic behaviour. If he only plays half a year because he's got a pending court case he's only half as valuable. Less than half, because it screws up combinations.

Have heard a couple of friends over that way suggest it is JT that tigers are looking at for next year. Can't see walker being re-signed by us if cleared. He'd still attract NRL offers i think, just not from us. And i'd be fine with that.

anyone else heard Jorge to the Tigers in Super League?

Could make sense with Albert Hopoate so close to cracking FG

 

[Eagles2nv]

The biggest issue with walker is his offfield behaviour. He has become a liability to the club, so much so that you can blame the club if they no longer want to accept the risk.

I still think the hoppa bros combo is the way to go. Wills contract is up end of 2020 but the dogs with their cap problems may entertain a release.

Otherwise give someone like Funa a go.

Suli and garrick are showing promise, and we have Albert if Jorge leaves.

talk in the UK taufua or walker to Cas Tigers..

I doubt that it's Walker, more likely Tafua if anything, Walker would still be wanted by many NRL clubs, not so sure about Tafua

Not if Greenturd puts a life ban on him

We have to see what Judge Judy says in court first .

 

[Woodsie]

Imagination a footballer who was a goose .. . never heard of such a thing ....

Given a favourable court result ... I would have him in the team within 20 seconds ..


A contract extension I would have to consider closely ....

Of course, he's been paid overs by us

I agree with you on the favourable court result part, but there is no way I’d be offering him a new contract. Even if it is at a discount to what he is on now (and no doubt it would be given on field and off field performance), he just isn’t worth the risk. Let him be someone else’s potential problem and spend the money elsewhere.

He has definitely been paid overs by us based on the time he actually spends on the field each season.
Not questioning his talent, but we need someone who can be there all season

 

[BrendonStarr]

He's lost a lot of his speed as well so when considering all of the above mentioned concerns and also taking into account his severe anger management issues in particular we are better off putting all of our energies into Suli this year and hope the young guy responds.

 

[yokahontas]

Castleford may well be interested, but there’s also the small detail of working visa eligibility to be considered if he’s found guilty in court. The UK can be fairly strict on that when they want to be.

He could claim Ecuadorian asylum...maybe?

I don't understand why he doesn't get his hearing moved up? His livelihood is being impacted due to a clogged Manly Court.
Hornsby is sometimes used or if they have another residence, its local court could deal with this DV matter
