I dont blame hasler, he saw the benji flick pass.

Everyone keeps saying how good a utility walker is... imo he can only cover centre and #13 (if we have a good lead already). He has not proven himself at fullback or in the halves and can't cover hooker!

I guess I'm thinking as a shock trooper, probably covering a backrower. Two games ago he came on and played very well in that capacity. Personally I think some players in our team are playing out of position anyway because of circumstances. Walker and Burbo are centres really and Schuster 5/8.And Garrick is definitely not a full back, despite one good game there. But there you go.

Des must be on the Molly..when asked at presser how he thought Walker went he said strong..

Walker is a centre he is a dynamic runner and he can run a lot faster than Parker and Harper


Former Bulldog Braith Anasta lauded the club’s approach to recruitment, arguing it well-suited to the current rules.

“Points, points, points. Speed, speed, speed,” he said of what the new backline will offer.

“That’s what they need. That is where the game is going. The quicker you are the better you are especially with the six-again rule.

Cust and funa should have played for mine..
Parker is slow for a centre, who in their right mind thinks he should be on the wing.. ever...
I cannot stand the thinking of "we have 2 positions to fill, let's change 5 positions to cover it"
No wonder we played like a pathetic rabble

I agree with this, particularly when we had viable options in Cust for the seven and Koula, Tui or Funa for the backline. Even if he wanted Garrick at 1, it would have been the perfect time to blood Koula or Tui on the wing.

Walker isn't a half or a fullback, he's a great ball running centre with average defensive ability. A great sub to have when we have the ball but otherwise he's a centre.

Agreed. And if he MUST put jetski in, why choose the most disrupted game of the season to do it.. couldn't have waited til next week?? Just idiotic.. half out, fullback out, players in random positions, sure let's put a bloke in who hasn't played in over 3 months to make it a REAL s+&t show
