| Think people need to wait and see what sort of Anthony Walker we see next season with a good pre season.
I for one was a little critical of why he wasn't selected last season but maybe he was not in 'survival' shape, whereas Yates and Mulally were.
Maybe be he's been doing extra training before pre season, to get him where he needs to be quicker?
No problems with this signing, came to us with good reports, just unlucky with injuries that pushed him down the pecking order at Saints.

| Good signing. It's a long season and Walker will provide healthy competition for prop places as well as getting plenty of game time no doubt as its a long season and injuries may come into play like they did for Anderson and Kirke amongst others.
Sounds like a more 'Athletic' Walker will be playing next season hopefully with a personal programme devised by Brian Smith's son...

| When I first saw him away at Hull I thought jesus this guy is way out of shape but as time went on I liked him he has a excellent ball carry with great body position when hitting the tackle. I think he has very good potential and with a good diet and training think this lad could be great.

| There has been quite a bit of negativity regarding the signings we have made, especially the lack of big name signings.
One plus point for the likes of Arundel, Walker, Annakin, Miller and Shulver is the fact that they are young, all around 23-24, with potentially long futures in the game.
I am a big believer in continuity breeds success (Steve Waugh) former test cricketer is a prime example. Was playing text cricket 3-4 years before his first test hundred, and became one of the best players of his generation.
Also, we seem to be handing out more 2 year deals, rather than 1 year. To me, that is an indication from the clubs management, that they seem to have a bit more long term ambition.
With a strong off season, under Smith, these players could go one to have good seasons, and with a better work ethic, and better results, 2 years down the line, these players may have earned a good reputation at the club and may want to renew contracts, and so on. You could even add Crowther, Johnston and Jowitt to this list also.
I think the current squad, along with 2-3 bigger names, we could have a really competitive squad building for 2016.
One thing that the RFL do, is reward loyalty within clubs and players, (ie players with the same club so long), top earners who are from the same clubs academy etc. The RFL reward this back to clubs who achieve this, on their salary cap return.
Therefore in the long run, we could receive these rewards, and also attract the higher earners.
