Walker and kelly

[winnyason]

Now we have sone stability at coaches level. We can look to get these boys new deals. I know kelly already being negotiated however heard nothing on walker hope he stays as we only seen 1 good season out of 3.

 

[HappilyManly]

Des will do a player review by Nov 5.

Then the roster will be tweaked during the off season to keep those that suit his master plan

 

[BOZO]

Des is a new coach with new ideas . Interesting times ahead

 

[winnyason]

I suppose question is dylan worth the 700k contract ? Is that unfair given twenty player him at 6 for alot of that

 

[maxta]

I will wait to see Walker perform under Des.
I think he is still a quality centre and 1 of many players the fans see improvement from back in his real position in 2019.

Your kidding aren’t you.
Knowing Des he’s probably finished his review already. He probably had it finished on Monday

I actually thought that he has been glued to the videos since the Media cleared out.

Expecting lots of player movements prior to season start

Dylan Walker was Dally M centre of the year last year, when he had been played in position by TB. He made the PMs team in PNG and then got injured, otherwise he was on his way back into to the Australian side.

He's a first rate centre and if I was him I'd be pretty frustrated at how he has been used for 2 of the past 3 seasons - each time he is played at 5/8 for Manly, he misses the rep sides. Who would you prefer as NSW centre - Dylan Walker or James Roberts?

He now lives in the area and hopefully still wants to play for Manly - under Des and used the right way, his career will hopefully get back on track.

He would have had it done before he signed

Agree totally. Hoping him and his management don't get frustrated playing out of position for 2 seasons. He seems settled in area given he engaged. Seen instagram where he training at gym effectively doing extras with turbos and liam knight. We missed having him in centres.
Notice joel thompson off contract ? This right

 

[ShanghaiEagle]

Joel Thompson has to stay. A real leader, as well as an awesome bloke making a difference away from footy.

 

[Dankseagles]

Bring Liam Knight home!

 

[Rackets]

I know there'll only be one Steve Matai but here's hoping Des can turn Walker into a Skivi type player. Only Des with Donny have the ability to mould Walker and get him to the next level.

 

[Disco]

Thompson is off contract at the end of 19

Some of his hard runs to get yardage in '17 were Skivi like.

 

[R3]

Bring Liam Knight home!

Would be nice to add him to all these Manly comeback stories wouldn't it!

Prob not ,His good game ratio to the time he has been here is abysmal.But willing to give him one more year playing centre under Des.

I think Brian Kelly will end up in the skivvy mold, hope manly hangs onto him.

Suli is Matai and Trex love child, lethal so long as he switches his atitude to that Matai's

Don't know about Walker, he's on big money and I don't think he's come back properly from that injury last year, too much downside now.
Kelly is good, provided we are not going to pay him a fortune, although his defense worries me.
