Maybe so but he will be one of our top earners and if we need loot to keep the young uns he would be on my list to go.

Just spotted this - us being linked to Gold Coast winger Chris Walker, along with Celtic and Wakefield as well.

29 years old and turns 30 at the beginning of next season - a couple of previous serious season ending injuries in the past and a reputation for being an ar$e off the pitch. Hopefully there's no truth in it.

Update on Walkers form. Hmm. After his 1st half against Grand Final favourites St George, very good.

Thing is though, good wingers generally rely on favours from good centres. Maybe this should be the 1st area to improve or Walker could end up being an ornament. Looks the part, very expensive and stands motionless! Not a good move IMO.
