Happy to give him a go like all our signings, and so far I have been very happy with his performances.
Also gotta give him a wrap for his defence. Has been very solid for us and made some great one on one tackles. Not the defensive liability that I was expecting.
I loved the signing.
I said last year in defense of Soward he was forced to do so much with a shit roster at the Dragons and that he was a scapegoat for Price and Doust.
This year he is proving that right. He doesn't have to do everything and just needs to focus on his job and playing within a system and a great kicking game. He chimes in when he has to but he has the talent around him to make his job easier. At the Dragons he had nothing....and that is playing out this year very much the same as prior years.
You can love or hate his personality but as a footballer he has been exceptional this year.
The Soward and Wallace halves are so good, I reckon they should be the blues halves. Who do you reckon is better: Ben Hunt or Wallace. I am not sure.
As a Saints fan, it's bittersweet. I was devastated when he left St George particularly as he was made out to be the problem. Great to see him doing so well at Penrith and remind fans of the game how good he is. Onya Sowie!
I expect a big performance from him against Saints next week.
Should be a good game next week with us in form and you guys confident after giving it to the sharks.
Wallace is doing his job and allowing Soward to do the same. He's doing about what I expected him to do when we signed him, and I'm sure is doing exactly as Cleary wanted him to do.Soward is good. Wallace is...Wallace.

As far as halves go, he's a gun defender. He's ultra competitive and does a brilliant job at taking pressure of Soward. The way our spine links up is unreal... Wallace, Soward and Moylan are looking very dangerous whenever they combine. Throw in Segeyaro starting and I think we have a spine that can keep us in the top 4.
Not sure why people are hating on Wallace. He's not inconsistent like Walsh, he doesn't wait for shit teams to shine, and he has a go every week and puts his body on the line for our team. Both our halves do... the amount of times I have seen Soward and Wallace make a tackle that in previous years our halves wouldn't have come close to making is just ridiculous. Half the reason we are among the best defensive teams is our halves not being liabilities.
