Poor bugger, we still talk about him even now he has gone. For mine, Luke Walsh could have been one of the best players in the NRL if only he believed in himself. When he was "on" he would defend well and his running game would carve up the opposition. But, and its a big but, he only ever played like that a handful of times. When he did, you got what Andrew Johns was on about saying he was a great halfback. That said even when he was on, he had terrible vision for a halfback and really struggled to put players into gaps. He just couldn't read the game well enough. Maybe in Super League he will have more time to find the gaps.
When he was off, I lost count of the time he dished up passes to forwards just in time for them to get absolutely smashed. In fact, how Clint Newton didn't ever come off the field and then punch his lights out I don't know. Walshie must have given hime so many hospital passes Im surprised Clint still has his own teeth.
In the year we came second, Lachlan Coote was in the form of his life, catching balls from everywhere and stealing the ball from right under the noses of opposition fullbacks and wingers. He made Walshies kicks look amazing. We struggled when Coote wasn't catching the ball.
