With that chin I am hoping Cleary got in there somewhere.

No one's perfect.
Look at the Rainbow seven. They are (or were) still valuable and vital contributors to the overall team performance, like them or not.
Give him a go.

Either Daley has been training for a switch to pro wrestling … or Joey is a bit small 😵💫
Frankly I couldn't care less.. I just want him to play well and lead Manly to victories. What he does and how he is in his personal life are his business..
The best in all sports have a certain character arrogance and are not always as socially welcoming away from their sport.
Unless it's with people they hold close and that again is their choice!

Good luck Joey.. just be yourself

Small? Same size as the 8th Immortal mate.

Allan Border should not be on your list. The 'Captain Grumpy' label given him was a media beat-up.
AB is a great bloke.

Yeah , not sure what to make of that photo shot as according to his [ Walsh 's ] profile , he would be at least as tall as D C E if not just slightly taller
Looks like that in some training photos as well with his more rangy built
Anyway , that is not going to mainly determine how he may go tonight or into the future but let "s hope it can be real good or impressive and on par with some of the built up hype

Johnny Gibbs was known to have a ‘big head’ during his playing days. Like walking up to a barman in 1977/78 (my cousin) and saying ‘G’day, I’m Johnny Gibbs’.
I think Gibbsy grew out of it.

Why Rugby Australia, the Bulldogs and Dolphins all wanted Manly debutant
Joey Walsh has long been a wanted man in both rugby codes. But prying him away from the northern beaches and the chance to play alongside idol Daly Cherry-Evans was always going to be difficult.

They should have played this when he came on

Didn't get a chance to show much with the ball, but his defence was strong, which is always a good sign for a young player. Good to see him out there, and great to hear the reactions from the crowd.

Yep, pleasantly surprised with his strong defence. Looks confident and has no fear in him. All good signs.

Quite a contrast to what he said about Luke Brooks.

I thought he said in the last year he was the best schoolboy in either code but I might have misheard

Maybe he just meant he always handed his homework in on time and always raised his hand before asking a question.

Let's go all-in and sign him to a 10-year deal, minimum! What could possibly go wrong?
