What was the first reaction when you read the name.



Yes please or I just hope he's not another Hohaia?

I've posted similar on Redvee just. I've seen little of Walsh to comment (although judging by a clip posted on redvee he does show signs of being an actual half back - kicking game and passing game) but when Eastmond announced he was leaving we were linked with lots of names and ended with Hohaia so until we announce something I'm not getting my hopes up too much.

The latter was my first reaction!



While we may have had some good players from the NRL previously - and of course we have - I've lost a bit of confidence in the club's ability to be discerning now.

Hmmm.

Although that article is over a year old it does give pause for thought. Looks good on the youtube video, but I'm not sure we could offer him enough to come over.

That doesn't sound good at all.

I've never heard of him but from what I've read about him, it looks like another disaster. I just hope McManus doesn't give him a 4 year deal like he did with Lance.

What is so bad in that article to make you think he'd be a disaster?

I've read a few ok him. One saying that everyone was shocked he got a deal with the panthers due to poor form. Another saying its make or break for him. Another saying he's been axed due to poor form.



Doesn't exactly fill you with joy

Bear in mind that is in the NRL. Could possibly do a job over here for, say, 2 years. I don't think we could offer him enough to come over anyway.

I've just watched his highlights from the weekend and he looked very impressive. Some great passes, great long and short kicking game but obviously he must lack consistency.



I think we need to find a better quality player as another bad signing in the halves will set us back big time. This signing has to be spot on because it will make or break us.
