Absolutely fantastic performance against the worlds best pack. Did 60 minutes straight before going off. You dont need fancy half hearted players Walkers and Douglas are both fantastic. Workaholics who wont shy away when the going gets tough. Awesome. So pumped after watching that game

I have always liked Walker, if I were you guys I would worry if you have the class to take advantage of your forward pack.

Walker impressed me all last year tbh and has had a good four nations. He's going to be a bargain signing imo.
Douglas has been decent in the four nations but I just wonder if he's a little weak carrying the ball. Can't knock his effort, work rate and heart . He's obviously a tough lad as you don't play that many games on the bounce if he's soft.
Be interested to see the stats from the two of them.

Walker looks like a good signing for you.

Douglas reminds me a bit of Jason Cayless. Not particularly impressive carrying the ball but seems to be everywhere. |

He'll soon have that off-load coached out of his game before Feb - far too adventurous!

If he's half as good as Cayless then I'll be happy. Cayless was top quality. |

Lets not go overboard, neither did anything special. 'Solid' is the word I'd use to describe them both, Walker if anything looks like he might have that destructive element to his game that we've missed for so long. By that I mean the aggression to knock the opposition off their game, make them go after him, open up space for others and make the penalties rain in. Having said that, as pointed out, it was against quality opposition.
I think the pack will be fine. It's 6,7 and 9 that worry me now. We've no depth in the halves and I'm not convinced by Theo Fages, first ten games of next season is make or break for him I feel. Smith will be Smith, so we'll need all that creativity and class to come from Theo, which is a lot of pressure for a youngster.

Yeah. I'm not saying he's as good, but I think he's the same sort of player.
Strangely enough, Walker reminds me physique-wise of Darren Britt. If he turned out to be half as good as him then I'd take that as well. |

9 was part of the pack when I played, funny how things change. |
