Form from just 2013, you could argue it.

Well... I could argue it.

You really think it is his page do you? Just as bad as all these other mongs that **** themselves thinking they are friends with these players haha twitter is probably the only social media outlet where you generally see the real person use their own page.

I didn't really see reason to question the authenticity of the page seeing I only "liked" him and wasn't his friend. I knew the post was a piss take though

 

[Thresher]

Haha, each to their own, that's what makes speculating fun

 

[Jigsaw]

Bloody Hell,would have paid that for Will chambers or even an aging Brett Tate.. but that much cash for a winger IS nuts

With the way the salary cap is now going up year by year, you gonna see contract that look huge but really arnt. Wingers price"s these next few year are going to be what good forwards where getting.
Halves and fullbacks are gonna be on millions. It's gonna look ridicules because for th las 10 years we have been stuck with such a **** cap

 

[deano the p]

he rates simmo the limmo though...

Yeah he seems to have a fetish for reserve grade players.

Jesus the guy plays one good game and he's suddenly better than Robson. Now I'm not saying Robson is good (I'm hoping we pick up Williams) but to say he's worse than Walsh... That's pushing it.

Walsh plays one good game a year and that's against Parra, the other 23 games the guy's complete poo.

but he dominated that game....even if robson was on fire the most he could do is a few grubbers and dummy's. Walsh is capable of far more.

He's also missing the fact the one good game Walsh played to make him better than Robson was years ago.

Mate Parra were horrible that game, it would have been pathetic if Walsh didn't dominate.

 

[JimBob]

He's also missing the fact the one good game Walsh played to make him better than Robson was years ago.

So because he plays that one good game a year it's fine to ignore his poor defense, constant inside balls (Yeah, he throws just as much, if not more, inside balls as Robbo), fear of being tackled and the constant blowing of opportunites by choosing the wrong attacking options (e.g. There have been many times where he kicked when he should have passed and vise versa ending try opportunites) for the other 23 he plays... Righto.

Name one season Robson has topped any stat?

Walsh has been top of the range in try assists through out his career like I've show you before.

The fact that he has a better kicking game, passing game and about level running game makes him a better player than Robbo.

BTW I never said he plays one good game a year. I said he played one good game years ago that showed he's better than Robbo and he has proved it since.

 

[hamsy44]

Lol at this they are both never going to be world beaters. Would rather have chad in then either if we can not get a better 7 as in Williams.

Last year, he topped most forced drop outs and best defensive percentage of all the halfs. Pretty sure he also made the most tackles of any half.

Do you want to know the secret behind Walshs high try assists numbers? It's simple really, when it's the last tackle inside the opposition 30 all he will do is put in a chip for his wingers. He won't run it, he won't place a grubber, all he will do is chip kick. It was up to Burns, Coote, Austin and Humble to try and be creative if they got the ball of the last. The only time you ever see him do anything else is when he is forced out of using the chip kick through defensive pressure. The funniest thing about it is that most of the time the chip kick doesn't work because he will put it way to short of the line.

Long kicking game, yeah Walsh beats Robson but short kicking game, Robson beats Walsh. Walsh does have a alright passing game I'll give him that. How the hell can he have an equal running game when the bloke doesn't run the ball?

Robson has played a good season (2012), that's something Walsh can't say. Hell even in 2010 when the Panthers were on fire Panther fans wanted him gone.

I've heard the Panthers are chasing Williams hard as they're releasing Walsh at the end of the year to play ESL. Also heard if they miss out on Williams, Chads next in line.

Also question to everyone, how would you all feel if we signed Finch on a one year deal if we can't recruit a half for next year? Personally I wouldn't mind it. No legs to it or anything just wondering what everyone would think of the signing as he's playing outstanding footy in NSW Cup.

 

[puma1355]

Finch for 1 year until we get a better halfback would be a good idea. I'd let Chad go.

So I search one of your points. Robson topped drop outs forced 2012 and Walsh doesn't do this.

Robson had two more than Walsh and came sixth plus Walsh played less games. Myth busted. Crawl back in your hole or provide evidence.

Walsh was named the Players' Player of the Panthers for 2011. When has Robson ever been players player? There's your Walsh has never played a good season gone.

If Robson was good in 2012 I'll give up he was ok at best.

It was a good effort making things up however maybe next time he should search to make sure I can't prove him wrong.

Where did you get those numbers from? Because I remember reading an article on NRL.com saying that Robson was leading forced goal line drop outs by a country mile during round 20ish (there or abouts). I'll try to find it.

Walsh was named the Players' Player of the Panthers for 2011. When has Robson ever been players player? There's your Walsh has never played a good season gone.

I know Panthers fans that actually laughed out loud when they heard he won players player. So did a lot of the members on Panthers Interactive. One of my mates (Panthers fan obviously) tried to put it in perspective for me to understand why he was laughing. He said it would be like it Toupu won the players player for the Sharks in 2011. I wish Panthers Interactive didn't close down or I'd tell you to go back to the 2011 section and see what the fans opinions were of Walsh.
