did you watch the Warriors game - there were quite a few contested bombs which Walshy had to field at FB.

as the last line of defense he also had to man up (an failed) on a rampaging Uele who scored. On the wing an attacking winger has limited space and options to hit you. At fullback you have to cover defence from multiple angles and field positions, and tackle anyone from prop to second rowers to halves centres wing and fullback. People with multiple different sizes skill sets and strengths

To say he’s ok at fullback but too small for wing doesn’t make any sense to me.

If he’s too small for wing, then hes too small to be on the field…

Sure but they were easier than what the typical cross-field kick where the attacking winner has a better chance of claiming it. Also if your front line defence is good, you can avoid having your fullback go one on one with a barnstorming prop. Whereas the wing is always going to be a target for opposition teams.

If you go back and look at how they were playing before Walsh arrived you would see that they struggled for points. Their highest score was against a Raiders side that had to play 65 minutes with only 14 players available and the Warriors just pipped them. When Walsh arrived they scored 20 against Melbourne, 24 against the Cowboys, 32 against Manly, 30 against Tigers and 28 against Cowboys. They have dropped off these past four weeks but there's no doubt that Walsh made them a far more potent side.

If the Warriors had their full contingent available I could understand going the safe route but they've lost both Harris-Tavita, Townsend and Turner who could spark them or help manage the team across the park. As a result, Walsh is doing a lot of their work as well.

Tuivasa-Sheck still gets through all the hard work at the back and still makes around 200m a game and is good for that odd incisive run. They don't really miss out on anything there it's just the risk and reward of playing Walsh.

Regardless Walsh can't play QCup so he's better off playing NRL where he has been valuable for them.

When independent people analytically sum up our team, which us passionate fans are to close to see!

Nice analysis.

They have won 2/8 with Walsh in the team, 1/7 with him at fb and RTS on the wing. The 2 victories were by 4 points over the tigers and cowboys....They won 3/6 prior to the move. What exactly is threatening about it? RTS is a shell of himself, Walsh creates more tries for the opposition then the warriors. RTS has been a dally m mmedalist and the best fullback in the comp at times in an era that had multiple fullback who were/are once in a generation. Walsh is textbook for needing a year in QLD cup, and RTS should be playing fullback, no question...

i dont think he is big enough for fullback either hence either play him at 6 or of the bench at 14

Walsh and Niu - 177cm
Papenhuyzen and Brimson - 181cm
Edwards - 183cm
Tedesco - 184cm

Yeah, Walsh and Niu are the shortest fullbacks out there but not by a huge amount. I don't think height is as much an issue at fullback as long as you have a good tall winger who can back you up.

To'o likes like the shortest winger out there and he's 182cm. Height is more of an issue for wingers IMO because they have to deal with cross field kicks.

Height, like age, is not such an issue if you are talented enough. Those of us old enough will remember the great Les Johns, the Canterbury fullback and one of my favourite non-Manly players (I played against him a couple of times, but at cricket not RL) and he was around 5ft 6in. I know, the role of a fullback has changed over the years. Height is an asset, but it can be overcome.
Ash Barty is only 5ft 5in but she beat a girl 6ft 1in to win the Wimbledon final.

I think it's just curiosity because the media and some Broncos fans have not realized that Walsh only has streaks of NRL quality, not full games of NRL quality in him and he needs time to cook.

I agree there’s probably been massive overhype on the kid and selecting him for Origin did nothing to quell that curiosity.

Still very raw and needs more time to develop, but the Aussie are ruthless when it’s comes to looking for a story and once they bite it’s hard to let go.

Walsh (and Walker) are just young. By the time they are 22 or 23, they will be top 5 players in the NRL. Fortunately, they are both Queenslanders.

Broncos got the bye (2 points) so I guess they're the only ones happy this weekend.

Well done broncbros, see you round 23 for the battle for 15th, could even be spoonbowl if the doggies pick up another couple of wins, dare I say it they looked more committed than us on the weekend.

As terrible as the DCE contract.

Question on the Walker running backwards play...

A voluntary tackle is a penalty still?

And voluntary tackles also involve no tackle! Just mulling on the interpretation of it all.

I'm fine with what Walker did. No different to teams taking 23423 seconds to play the ball when there's a minute left on the clock.
