Sammy back Walker out.

[Rabbits20]

It may not be Walker.

Do you reckon it could be Gray or Auva'a???

What is the word from people in the know southsport???

 

[Rabbits20]

The enquiry into this "drug" situation with Walker & Gray is still to be resolved.

There must be great concerns surrounding that incident--there will be repercussions yet,I think!!

Walker may be the scapegoat in this SamB thing!!

He'll probably end up playing 5/8 for Manly!

Yeah there is a chance of this happening.

I thought we'd keep Dylan but strong mail is we are going to shop him around. Hopefully the rumours aren't true as if we lose Dylan our depth isn't good in the backs.

Have a read guys of the article here from the lurker (I've been searching around) as it gives more potential insight into Dylan. There is more to this than we know. It seems Dylan was on his last warning before the drug overdose!!!!!!!!!

Share your thoughts guys about what you think?

i very much doubt they will move walker on and once sammy returns we will obviously already had offloaded one or two of our dud forwards to another club and rightfully so!none of our best forwards has the go ahead and passion like sam burgess whether its sutto,grevs or the twins but in saying that i think tom will step up higher next year!!!

 

[foreverinourshadow]

dylan walker is a far better player than reynolds and sutto

 

[foreverinourshadow]

i rate dylan walker nearly as good as bully but nowhere as good as inglis,i reckon dylan is our 2nd best player.inglis is our best player.

I had my doubts about Dylan before his meteoric[& unjustified]rise to Test status.

He gave me the impression he had developed an over-sized melon----objected to being tackled,going on like an angry ant,snarling at markers & shoving them over....

In fact,his carrying on annoyed me to the point where I commented about his head-size way back in 2014.

His 2015 form was very average.

Does anyone know of other incidents[other than the "drug" one] which have upset Madge??

 

[foreverinourshadow]

sadly dylan is a loose cannon

 

[foreverinourshadow]

we kept dylan and offloaded tyrone philipps whom was an up and coming souths junior to the dogs because of that brawl at wiley park,we have lost so many good juniors roberts,mansour,peats that i can think of off hand!

Yeah---the fact we've lost players like Roberts,Peats & Mansour really irks me--we have been too eager to bring in highly paid players instead of recognising & rewarding our Jnrs;IMO!!

should offload Keary instead of walker, keary is on big coins, offers nothing in attack, poor kicking game, doesn't attack line enough and is weak in defence. Move walker or GI to 5/8 and AJ to fullback.

Keary is a tough competitor, and good in defense.
AJ is not a fullback.

Doyen have a look at the article in the link if you want too!!!

I think we may have to move Keary on for 2017 onwards. His contract finishes at the end of next season. Other clubs will pay 750-800k for him and I reckon he will go for the money.

Imo Keary is a bit overrated. Keary is a good player no doubt but not as great as people make out.

In 2017 our halves could be:

6. Cody Walker
7. Adam Reynolds (we definitely won't let Adam go)


Keary could stay with us from 2017 onwards but will consider leaving.

I expect Adam to not even consider leaving for a moment. I expect us to upgrade Adam's contract from 500k a season to around 700k a season for his next contract. The rise in the cap will allow us to do so.

 

[Rabbits20]

Who would you offload first, Keary or D. Walker.

Tough one but I'd offload Dylan first due to his behavioural issues.

I feel sorry for Keary because he is essentially a half back.

He is a manufactured 5/8 & it hasn't worked all that well.

There is a dilemma in the halves for us.

I would prefer Keary at half.

Keary has been good at 5/8 no doubt. I'm proud of him. He can get back to his best in 2016 along with Adam if they both stay fit.

These days Doyen there isn't much difference between 6 and 7. Times have changed now as you know.

We will try to keep Keary for 2017 onwards but with the cap and the money he could get he may go elsewhere.

As I said Adam is definitely going nowhere.

As you know I prefer Adam at 7 and that's the way Madge and the club see it too. Adam is our long term 7.

My problem really is that I'm desperate for a change of approach which may lead to more attractive football to watch.

With Adam at half,& he is a good player,no doubt,I think we're going to continue with the same old bash barge & kick--this is OK in moderation;but don't like the full-on stuff.

Neither do the powers like it;hence the i/change rule heading to 6!!!
The day of the giant forward could be ending & the nippy quicksilver halves on the rise!

If Sam comes back doyen I think we will see more bash and barge BUT for it to completely work doyen we need to slightly adjust with taking a bit of risk and definitely offload as we've discussed. Sam, Sutton, Grevsmuhl imo are all good offloaders. It will be interesting to see if Madge allows Tom and George to offload occasionally. If George and Tom can add some offloading that will take them to another level, a great level that is.

If Sam comes back and we get second phase play going we will be dangerous with our strike power.

If Sam comes back a good thing is he will play 80mins as we know. Cook at hooker can play 80mins. Sutton can play 55mins I reckon.

Carter is a very handy player to have with the rule changes. He will have an important role off our bench. I would pick Carter over Brown, Brown would be my 18th or 19th man.

We can't lose the likes of McQueen or Walker in our side.

IMO to make the room in the cap we off load the likes of Tyrell and/or Clark, release Olive who has already agreed to have signed with another club in season 2017 and make Turner retire as I think its a very big risk to have him in the side with all of his bad/ serious injuries in the past two seasons and off load Goodwin to England.

It will be a real shame if we lose Dylan &/or Chris; I second that!!

I know Sam is a great player & we need him, but it pisses me off that he won a p/ship with us then decides to pull up stumps,go to the other side of the globe,play a crap game like RU,then decides he wants to just waltz back in.

And some of his p/ship mates will be shown the door because of all this!!!
