I'm not sure how good Suli will be under a high ball - nor Taufua for that matter. As much as I like Parks in the centres, he'd be better under the high ball that either of them.

Saab probably rates a bit higher than he deserves because he gets a LOT of help from Lionel. One on one he is probably up there with Walker but he gives a hell of a lot more effort in defence than the other 2.

Both go ok under the high ball uncontested...it's when opponents contest they both have trouble.

So Dylan was the only player that played bad? It’s the monotonous bagging that’s really become boring mate. I get people don’t like him or want him around but it really seems to have become a vendetta against him. There were far worse & underperforming players in the team from rounds 1 to 5…….anyway bag away Lolol!

Don’t know what game you were watching lolol

Bad passes, poor option, ran sideways, made zero impact, attempted arm-grabbing defence...the list goes on.
Just like the many anti Walker fans eh?

No.

Obviously you are the one who sees it differently buddy as many here have commented on how bad he was. lolol

It seems a bit dramatic to say he was “the worst on the park”. What’s the point? We won by 66, and didn’t let them score. Hard to criticise anyone in the team.
In terms of who is the worst defender, it depends on what context. Walker has played Fullback, 5/8, Centre, and Lock in the last two years. All specialised defensive positions that require different reads and different skills.
You put Jake at centre I bet he would get rinsed, despite everyone on here probably considering him our best defensive player.
According to NRL stats Walker missed ONE tackle against the Bulldogs in 49 minutes. Hardly a big issue. He also had 27 effective tackles, 12 runs for 97m, 2 tackle breaks, a try assist and a linebreak assist.

When you look at it, if Walker does take the field as 6, it could be his defining moment whether he is given a contract.
If he goes out does his role, defends and generally plays well, showing he belongs somewhere in the team all good.
If he crabs, arm grabs, misses tackles and stiffles the attack we have seen over the past 12 weeks you have your answer.
It might go someway to answering the Walker debate

Good grief.
Mate .. can't remember Dessie changing a named team for years, other than when a late injury forced him to ... With the betting companies investing so much into the game, the NRL is very strict about playing ducks and drakes ... positional changes are always on though ..

He might go after Ricky, upset him before the presser

He is about the worst defender in every position he has played.
FB-Tommy/Garrick
5/8-Foz/Schuster
13-every single forward and Lawton
Centre-Parker/Harper/Funa...maybe he is better than Suli
Does that clear things up for you?
I guess Walker will be stationed on the right side with Foran staying in his usual left side role.
Will be interesting to see how he goes. His first few years as a centre were on the right, then when we tried him as 5/8 that was on the left, with DCE mostly on the right side.
Anyway I'll enjoy seeing how Walker goes, he's often quite entertaining, one way or another.
