Absolutely, Walsh has improved.
Using one example though, Walsh’s miss (or overread) on Meaney for the first try is comfortably as bad as Edwards’ “miss” on Mariner. Completely different circumstances, but the fact the Mariner try (in the PF) is even being framed as an Edwards error, while nothing is said about the Walsh play, shows the differing levels of the two.
@Oldpanther86 if we’re showing team bias you’re showing recency bias. Walsh made a couple of big defensively plays, the stop on Paps and the knock on Kamikamica’s arm early in the second half - both great plays - but I wouldn’t bet against Edwards making either of those. He's made a career out of those plays.
Edwards didn’t have his best year, but he still made some massive plays for us that get completely overlooked - numerous 40/20s stopped when he had no right to do so (including the PF), general positioning stopping any half break etc. He’s being seriously undervalued on the back of that Walsh performance.
