I think some people forget Walsh is only 20 and already proven he can absolutely shred NRL defenses at times, even on a fucking abortion of a team like the Warriors.
There's going to be a point when it all comes together and he solidifies himself as an absolute gun in the comp. He has the potential to be one of the big stars in the game, and if you roll the dice on him at the right time then you'll do well. Off the field, he gets back to the club he wants to be with all along, better players around him including a much much better forward pack to set the platform for him rather than the Wahs four dud tackles then oh fuck throw it to Walsh and pray he can pull something out of his ass. Like that team still actually design a game plan to utilise his talent, rather than him needing to try do some magic while his team is going backwards.
I don't think he'll lose all the kicking because he has a monster boot that I'm sure the Donkeys will find a use for as well.

He killed it in the trial and no doubt will benefit from a far better forward pack and a better half to feed him the ball.
I am starting with him this week, even though he is injured, on the assumption he misses one week.
Kids a natural and a pleasure to watch, passes the AR,s pick good players rule, with him and Reyno playing for the Broncos I will be watching all their games.

You make it sound like the Broncos is some strategic ninja organisation and he'll be being coached by Craig Bellamy. Has something changed in Brisbane?

nope. we are still a bunch of idiots running around in circles. If reynolds stays on the park though, there is a little bit more 'structure' to what we do.
but walsh is a gun girls and boys. he and reynolds will make us a top team.

Many years ago, more of a tribute to an old boy that passed away recently.

To be fair I did the same last year just didn’t get to 10.

Yeah this, you have enough guns in the squad to do well, and the kids an added gun.

Bro anything is an upgrade on the Warriors from that perspective. They played like they didn't even know he existed half the time. The number of sets when they needed points and they just didn't even give him the ball. Then they'd get late in game and be like oh shit Walsh yeah here bro can you win the game for us plz. And it wasn't lack of effort on his part, he's always sniffing for it (lol).
And just having some big forwards to play off, hanging around Haas and Carrigan who looks to have a bit of an offload to him now, he's going to get opportunities that the Wahs just didn't give him.
I hate the Donkeys so far be it from me to give them any credit, don't be too flattered by me saying they're better than the Warriors haha.
