Roosters have dropped Sam Walker to reserve grade 😂 bout time imo. He’s shithouse.
Keary has arguably been worse.
Walker is also 21. I think he's doing pretty well at this stage of his career.

Walker is Chad 2.0. Nothing special at all. Don’t understand the hype around him.
Keary hasn’t been the same since his head knocks. Plays with no confidence. Imo he should have retired. He’s one head knock away from serious repercussions.

Agree to disagree. Whilst I agree that Walker has been over hyped, he's still achieved a massive amount by playing 50+ games by the age of 20. He's far from the finished product, but I think he's well ahead of where most great halves were at his age.

IMO the problem is they don't gel well. Both too much the same player.

Wow...The no.7 jersey has been the kiss of death since Cooper.

Do I remember correctly that there was talk around a 10 year deal at one stage?

The commentators have no choice but to stop faffing on about him now.

Will make the transition easier for them.
They talk him up likes he's Cooper Cronk. He is a very average player at best.

To play 50 nrl is a hell of an achievement, playing 1 game is too. But put this bloke is any other team other than the roosters and the knives would of been out for him long ago. Very similar player to Brooks. Decent but has a very limited potential above what he's showing now.

I like it - apart from Martin - can’t put 2 games together .

Also prefer Murray at lock but it is difficult with Yeo around .

Suspect also they will stick with the Cook . Api double punch .

Sifa still a chance as they like someone who can cover 2RF / Centre - if not him - who else ?

Yep, been saying it for ages, bang average.

Also way too small.

With that side he's listed Burton would be the centre cover.
