didn't say he was bad, not that he was good apart from 1 run against the broncos to put Burt in for a try, was more that i didn't like him

didn't do to bad, would have liked to see him spend some time on the wing

He did spend some time on the wing!

You might remember him costing us the game against the Broncos by simply standing on the goaline while his opposite ran towards him, and dived at his feet to ground the ball!

Poor guy was always a shocking defender though...
Would've been nice to see him fit and making a bit more of an attacking impact - but without full fitness all he was is a liability in defence.

He never really recovered from being dumped by Sally from home and away imo...

No dramas though, good luck in retirement Chris.

This tops off our fantastic recruitment drive from last year.

Walker - gone
Murray - gone
Rogers - gone
Whatuira - gone
Hicks - Wenty
Webb - Gone
hmmm.... has there ever been a worst bunch of recruits at any club. At least Maguire has been okay although he could easily have been at Wenty too if not for our depleted side.

The year that Brian Smith recruited "size" was pretty ordinary. Aaron Cannings etc were f**king hopeless too.

Wenty is reserve grade, not park footy. A bit insulting to the professional footballers running around Ringrose every second week.

I think it says more about our current roster, scary to think all of those, except Murray, were actually required to play in our 1st grade side at some point alongside Robson and morts. :lol:

Good riddance to Walker.
The bloke is a germ. One of the worst characters in the game.
No ticker.
No defence.
Never been one to tough out the bad times.
Happy to run his mouth whenever he feels like it.
Thinks he's a gift to the world or something. Like he is a superstar celebrity.

I'll never forget him coming out and firing up Scott Prince BEFORE we played the Titans. The bloke has no brains.

Never liked him... EVER. Felt sick to the stomach having to cheer him on in a blue and gold jersey. So happy that lasted all of about 30 seconds.

He rooted Sally from home and away and played for QLD, celebrity in my books.
