| I don't know what the price freeze was. I paid £310 for mine last night. Today it's the same price?

Walkers contract is up at the end of 2025 anyway and is free to negotiate with other clubs now. If we wanted to keep him long term we’d have to offer him a new deal pretty soon. As much as I think he’s a good player at this point I wouldn’t be offering him a new deal, that would be a huge gamble in the hope that he has a brilliant and relatively injury free 2025.

I'd doubt Walker is good enough to play FB for an NRL side.
Released by Leeds, not wanted by Rovers and Hull, but would get a contract at Canberra.

| It's what Rapana brings off the field, he will help us recruit better overseas players in the future too.

Wonder if Canberra know that we’re trying to offload someone who’s better than the guy who played fullback for them just about all season and they offered a new contract to

| All in all whilst I think Walker is unfortunate I think the club are making the correct decision in terms of moving on all 3 of Smith, Tindall and Walker.
Rapana has been brought in to be first choice FB and mentor to the likes of Moy and probably Litten too so it's unlikely Walker would get a chance to take the field. Smith has tried and given his best but again he's very unlikely to make it in to the 17 in 2025. Tindall never really got an opportunity and thats tells its own tale when he couldn't push his way past two young inexperienced players in Martin & Barron and with Briscoe again he's unlikely to feature in any 17.
These are the decisions that successful clubs make to make then stronger by not hanging to players that won't play much of a part, its the equivalent of keeping stuff instead of throwing away that you think 'that'll come in handy', only to not use it and throw away years later.
All 3 players deserve the chance to carry on playing so for their own careers they need to move on.

| Regarding Walker, he is clearly talented - but troubled by injury, probably on a decent contract.
Would have been surplus to requirements with Rapana, Moy, Litten & Hardaker.
Have to support the club in such decisions, while wishing those deparing all the best for the future.

| This what happens when you penny pinch and have a non rugby men in charge, even if it's true about spending full cap, off the field it sounds like a lower championship club.
IMyler first job was to fully access the whole club and he must have looked at what we had and thought wow, fair play for him for making the changes he has, the hub will have helped, but he has still changed abs added experience to the staff.

| Having read that maybe some of the criticism aimed at Grix was a little harsh.
