I'm with you Moe on both points. Walker needs a run out and based on Thewlis's performance last week the younger lads in the squad can take encouragement that Price will give you a chance and you should try your damnedest to make the most of it.

TBH based on limited viewings of him at Widnes I'm quite surprised how little time Walker's had

aside from the preseason and the first game(leeds i think) walker hasn't shown much.

tbh, i wasn't overly in favour of us signing him, and if he wasn't a warrington lad (i'd don't think i've used that before) i dont think most would be bothered. Its ok to look active and ok in a side that's getting slapped every week.

Think brad dywer at leeds at the moment, they're getting beat but he looks 'busy'.

Maybe Walker was signed because he managed to wind C Hill up, having said that we would have the biggest squad in SL if that was a reason to sign someone.

Mamo

Johnson
Goodwin
King
Charney

Patton
Austin

Hill
Davis / Walker
Cooper
Currie
Hughes
J. Clark

Davis / Walker
Murdoch-Masila,
Tasi
Akauola


On the point of resting Austin, if the ruomours about Brown being back soon are to be belived then perhaps soon we may see austin reased for Patton and brown in the halves. I'd only agree with that though if Austin was playing through injury and it was geeting to the point where he may cause substantial damage or if we had secured 2nd position and we were able to rest players with the knowledge that we have the points to be able to drop games.

Have we given up on the idea of competing for 1st? I know certain Saints supporters think the season is done and dusted but there are a fair few games to play yet. 2 against the current leaders to start with.

Dwyer always looks busy. Not always good for players around him.

FYI
Mags still injured
Linnett out with Concussion (big loss for us)
Maria back to Catalans

Garbutt returns (big plus for us)
Quinlan returns (another big plus but match fit?)
Lee returns (meh!)
Lunt returns (would be fantastic if he wasn't permanently worrying about his back/health)

Some players need to recharge their batteries and some players need game time. It's a win win while we have a six point advantage.

I hear what you are saying FMC, but, we signed the lad so let's see what he's made of, or why bother when we can play Clark for 80 and (or pre Brown injury) Patton/Davis to fill in. Unless he's seen as a longer term project?

no. Pricey has said so this week.
