I'll be keeping my powder dry on this one. Suggest others do the same.

unless the bulls faxed the contract to walkers agent, how else would he have seen whats on offer, i can't see him complaining if he hadn't signed the contract |

Maybe, if the contract exists, it had a getout clause if Walker's visa was rejected, and maybe he had his visa rejected and is reapplying.
Maybe maybe maybe...

Let's hope it's all sorted OK. I for one am looking forward to hopefully seeing Orford up against Buderus next year when our teams meet.
2 of my favourite NRL players of last few years against each other.

Yes but it was just talks, once the Orford deal was finalized the talks ended. |

I will wait for the clubs take on this, at most it could be seen as cut throat IMO. Doesnt look like a contract was signed.

I can't see why he would want to sign for us know, when we clearly don't rate him as high as our other over sea's internationals! Why come across to somewhere to 'not be liked?'
Surely, the worst that could happen is another settlemnet figure?

when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.:1589.jpg |

I'm willing to slightly dampen the powder ---
This is tabloid rubbish. Orford is signed and Walker is not.
