Is Luke Walsh eyeing an early NRL return?
by: Total Rugby League, May 19, 2014, 1:32 pm

This is an excerpt from a story published in today’s issue of League Express newspaper, which is out in all good newsagents right now. If you can’t get your hands on a hard copy, click here to download a digital version to your computer or smartphone.

St Helens have denied that star halfback Luke Walsh is set to make a sensational early return to the NRL at the end of this season, half-way through his two year-deal.

League Express understands the Australian scrum-half, who joined Saints at the end of 2013, is homesick, and is considering heading home at the end of the current Super League campaign.

Walsh, a veteran of 120 games in the NRL, has been in electric form since arriving in Super League and has helped Saints surge up the table. He has a two-year contract with St Helens, but with a get-out clause that he could use at the end of the season.

In a recent statement posted on the Saints website, Walsh said: “I’m happy. My family has settled in and everyone is happy. The little fella is happy too. I’m in good spirits. My wife is happy and we’re not going anywhere at all. We’re staying here.”

Despite those comments, however, Walsh, 27, could cut short his contract if, as expected, he attracts interest from NRL clubs.





Sign him - Could/would Robbo do this ?

Sounds like the Cowboys are after the rabbits hooker Koroisau. Are we still in negotiations? Looks like a good fit for us.

Thanks Deano. So l guess it will be lnu
No worries, I'm good for scoops like that. (The ones that don't require any inside information or knowledge)

I'm hoping for Inu, if not I wouldn't mind just seeing Holmes upgraded. I don't think there is all that much else out there worth getting mid season.

Is Holmes ready? What l read on here seems 50/50. If it is lnu l hope it is only a short contract

Holmes is not ready for week in week out first grade. He is ready to cut his teeth for a few games in a row, back down to 20's then come back up again. Should do that with Clarke, Brown (when he is back) and Addo-Carr.

He said he didn't think he was ready at the start of this year so it's questionable.

At the end of the day though this season is dead in the water so it couldn't hurt to give a bloke like him a few runs. Even if it's just to slowly acclimatise him to first grade.

Inu on a contract like the one he is on is worth the risk if the 200 something thousand mark is correct.

so you want a guy who struggles for motivation to come to a club coming last and getting hammered from the media
