| Quote St pete="St pete"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.

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.

| As usual our halves will be a problem again. The is massive amount on pressure on Theo to produce any spark in attack as Smith has no creativity really.
It's a shame we've not brought in a top 7 axis we now have good attacking players on the edges with percy and Morgan.

Yeah yeah Captain Pedantic. A normal person would have been required to explain that better, but not me.

It does stick out like a sore thumb doesn't it. I can see Lomax joining the attacking line a bit more to take a bit of pressure off Fages.
