Faith in Walker

[maxta]

Hearing he has signed a further 2 year contract,,,maybe Des see's value in Walker as a mobile utility style player fit for the modern game....actually I may have gone off early

 

[Bomb Voyage]

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

 

[QueefRichards]

As long as he is on minimum coin. Since 2018 he's played even less matches than Foran, and we're paying Foran nothing.

You can also trust Foran to buy a pizza without getting arrested

Not really - 2 year contract on table...but slightly reduced - good keeper at the right price

That's exactly the offer and you Sir are 100% correct

Needs to improve his off field behaviour and also tackling technic.

Yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Happy to keep him on a reduced contract with strict clauses. He must have at least 1 strike, maybe 2 against him?

Walker's off field behaviour is secondary to me compared to his on field behaviour. He's suffered some nasty injuries in recent times, but so has Turbo, Foran, Aloiai, Suli etc. It happens. But if he produces on the field and it assists Manly in winning, that's all that matters. He had a quiet one last week but he did his job and wasn't really needed with Turbo and DCE causing mayhem. Even Foran was quiet. The week before for the 30 odd minutes he was on the field he was outstanding. So was Foran in that game. He is a clever player to have as a backup or bench player, if not eventually returning to the centre. It will be interesting to see how he fares against the Raiders.

The timing of this news is interesting. Maybe an opportunity for Walker to put in a huge display and impress thereby pushing his asking price up. I hope he has a huge game tonight and we win!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

At the right dollars this is ok , a reasonably valuable back up to a few positions on the backline.

And I hope with his escapades in the past he’s finally realised he has to grow up.

 

[winnyason]

Hoping Foz is given another year tbh

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I will be not be surprised to see them both back next year.

 

[Haliaeetus]

great signing.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

All about value for money, I guess, but I'm glad Des has once again shown his faith in Walker - his loyalty is one of the things that binds players to him and each other.

As for whether we fans should have faith in Walker, ask me after tonight's game

Ask me after the off-season….

 

[The Who]

I hope said contract has not been put on the table just yet, and is being dangled in front of him as an incentive to produce the form some on here believe he is capable of.
I'd be waiting until season end before committing. I hope he can show me why he is worthy of another contract because we have plenty of juniors not far from NRL standard and I'd hate to think that in the next two years Walker would put the club through what he has in the past.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Great re-singing but yes must be some strict behaviour clauses. He is a high quality player. He will be great tonight IF he doesn't overplay his hand and IF he can not come up with errors by throwing the miracle pass. If he can just add value and run when the option is there and give good service and hold onto the pill - he will have played well for us.

 

[mave]

I hope he will be getting paid by the pass.

Could be the cheapest re-signing in the clubs long history
