The better Robbo

From some recent photos it seems most are already training. Not sure if its part of the real pre season or they're just staying fit
Walker critics be gone

Is it lonely up there on your pedestal? Telling us all how to forum.
I’m happy for any of our players to test the market because I want them to be paid what they are worth. Of course, if they are happy to sign for less than what they can get elsewhere then that is great, but that is their choice.
I understand the argument that the club stood by Dylan and that Dylan should repay that. But what does that ‘repay’ look like? Is it improving on and off field performance / behaviour for the duration of the current contract, or is it resigning for ‘unders’ in the next contract? In my mind, the former is a reasonable expectation and the latter is not.
I’ve personally not been the biggest Walker fan, but I thought the way he carried himself this year (after pizza gate) showed maturity (finally). He played well and didn’t carry on. So if he continues on this trend, then he would be an asset to the club and I hope he stays. But if he finds a higher bidder and leaves, then so be it.

I hear you @Woodsie but I think its more about balance, as some of of our members clearly get their hands on it too often...… and i'm not talking about mobile phones.

I don’t hear other clubs rushing to sign him!

Yes, of course he does, in a time frame and manner that fits in with the plans of his current employer...the same as any player does. According to a journo, an offer was tabled to him going on 2 months ago. I would imagine for someone in Walker's shoes that time frame would be very close to, if not past that time frame.
In Walker's shoes ? .. I'm not certain that he is as universally hated as some on here would have us believe, or as lacking in suitors. There may be several reasons for the delay .. money, length of contract, other clubs negotiating, other clubs waiting for the Nov 1 deadline to see what other options they have , etc etc ..
But hey .. let's all read between the lines and conclude that Walker is an ungrateful dickhead ...

By "Walker's shoes" I was referring to his checkered past and how the club stood by him. I also doubt there is MUCH outside interest in him for '22 and clubs do not have to wait until Nov 1 as clubs would be well advanced with any recruitment they are seeking and Walker was a free agent Nov 1 2020. I'm guessing he will sign with us for 1 year or not at all.

Agree!
I won't need much convincing that he is a dickhead.
I didn't think the fact he had major issues for an alledged domestic issue, or Pizzagate, were in question?
Both these incidents, plus Doorgate, and also the well publicised issue with the overdose whilst at Souths, put Walker well and truly in the dickhead category.
And well and truly in the "not learning from previous mistakes" category.

Hard to imagine that the Tigers would be able or prepared to offer Walker much more then any realistic Manly offer . Well if he goes , so be it , think that Bullemor could offer any similar general benefit or all round playing ability that Dylan offers if it comes to that . Just concerned that Walker could still offer something as a 6 if Foz has any availablility issues next season [ which of course i hope not ] but obviously still have Schuster more then capable of playing there if needed . Weekes has played a fair bit of 6 in the lower grades apparently , no doubt a pretty fair player but looks like he would have to pick up his defence a bit to be a i st grade 6 .

Make up your mind Dylan! If you want to leave then GO! We need players who want to be at our club!
**** act really ( if true ) after the club stuck behind him.
But all about $$$$ I guess.

He's worth a half eaten bagel and a coffee. So when do we start negotiations?.
