Walsh to France...............

[roopy]

They named the starting side, but i missed most of it because of the walsh thing.
I did get Tolar and Royal starting props with Dureau and i think Uate in the 20 man squad - could be wrong about uate.

 

[Karmawave]

I didnt hear it either.

You'd think the Knights website would have the bloody thing up.

 

[Pumba]

Hopefully the team is announced tonight in The Herald so I don't have to wait until tommorrow

 

[~knights~]

ill upload the file

it has the team named

 

[roopy]

Isnt Dureau too old for the 20s?

They named 20 men for firstgrade - Dureau was either 17 or 18 - didn't get which.

That's close to the most experienced side we could name, which is a good idea with such an inexperienced squad.

I'd split this thread if i was a mod - but we will have to wait for Matt or coby.

 

[perverse]

whew.. lending him out for a little while is fine.

curse you medievalknight!! what's this permanently sh*t?

 

[roopy]

The loan thing should work really well.
Walshy basically has to slot into a team of players he doesn't know from Adam.
Even Johns struggled with that at Warrington.
It will be fast track learning for him - chucked in at the deep end to sink or swim.

Information that I had ...........(as of LATE this afternoon) he WAS going Permanently)


Will stand corrected if im wrong

 

[Jono078]

This will also advantage Dureau making him the #2 backup if Bailey or Mullen goes down.

So it's almost a win-win situation unless we end up needing Walsh in that 2 month period.

The competition is much stronger in the UK than anything he will play here in Australia that isn't first grade - and that can only be a good thing.

I wonder if Craig Gower is coming to the Knights? ;-)

The other thing is that we probably get a few salary cap dollars too.
Maybe Terrence's contract and two months of Walshy's is enough money for quigs.

Or Craig Gower ;-)

Seu Seu's contract was way more than enough for Quigs. Tee was on over 6 figures.

the only way we could sign gower would be for 100k this year and 400k next year - which would be silly for an old bloke.

 

[Karmawave]

Maybe it is just for one year...

Anyway, its just a stretch. Unlikely. Just thinking out loud.
