One thing I've noticed about
Walsh... he's TINY....
They all are these days Bro.
Keep in mind our FB and our Hooker are both originally half backs as of a couple years back. I personally think its unrealistic.. Id love a FB who comes in from u20 as a FB. There is just too much to learn on the job in FG.
But what I like about
Walsh is he is a tough bugga. He might not be big but he doesnt back down. Reminds me a bit of Matt Ridge when he started at Manly. All wirey rather than mussed up.
I hope Walshy coms around on the D, and hopefully with some positive changes at the club he turns his offensive slide around.
I have faith in him, unlike a lot of other players he has shown some ethics, some morals, he sees NZ a growth oppurtunity. I say good for him,
If we treat him right, I reeckon h might be mature quite young and will treat us right.
The other thing that I see, Brown is drastically lacking in the ability to get this teams intensity up for games. They simply dont turn up emotively. But guys like
Walsh,
Vailea, Metcalf,
Egan and even
Shaun Johnson, they can be change agents in the team, he could gt a lot out of that bunch to start getting bye. in. I think he might be with us 25 onward depending how things go.
