Hope This Brother dosn't have his brother Chris's traits

Walker seeks family reunion at Souths

Former Brisbane and Manly five-eighth Ben Walker has approached the Rabbitohs about coming out of retirement next season to join his brother Shane. Walker, 27, was released by the Sea Eagles at the end of last season after undergoing a knee reconstruction. His agent, Barry Collins, said the NRL's leading pointscorer in 2001 was likely to play again only if it could be alongside one of his brothers, and Chris Walker quit Souths midway through last season to join the Sydney Roosters. Shane is off contract at the end of the season but the Rabbitohs have opened negotiations with him this week and a number of others, including Shane Rigon and David Thompson.

:roll: Slugs, I wouldn't be paying him a yearly contract if your club is smart.....maybe a weekly match payments deal as he is very injury prone at the moment...don't think he'd walk out on you like Chris though, he's more like his brother Shane!

What about playing alongside another Walker, even if he isn't your brother?

Ben Walker was good when his confidence was up. Shame that only happened for a brief patch during the World Sevens and after he shaked off his first few concussions :lol: . If he wasn't so bloody injury prone, I'd love to have him out in the centres atm.
