He has definitely been a great player for us and will be a loss. Turns 32 in September and obviously wants the security of a 2-3 year deal. Doesn't sound like he is happy with a 1 year extension. Which is fair enough from both parties.
Forwards can decline quickly at this age. He hasn't been as effective this year. I reckon that's partly due to not having Tuivati and Doorey consistently in the rotation with him.
Shame they're not extending his contract for at least another year. He hasn't been as impactful this year as much as last year but maybe that's because he knew his contract wasn't being extended
Maybe due to him not being repayed with an offer worthy of his contribution . Maybe this isn't the case , but it would explain his drop in form. He can't be accused of not having a red hot dig .

I recon the game just doesn't suit him anymore. His short passing game has disappeared.
1- that we've never tried him at any other position eg 5/8 or centre when we've been desperate for both these posis over last couple of years. Guaranteed he wouldve shat on pezet for one at 5/8th.
2- thst we have deemed him not up to it quite early this year by reports we aren't re-signing. Truly as is we don't need his versatility and experience with our young ones. Just don't get it.
"Exactly BA had to go through more than any other coach in nrl history off the field JR has had an easy ride in comparison don't worry about that discussion with Chief I told him that 3 years ago."
"Holbrook who did he recruit he hasn't been there long enough.
DB is a OSullivan hire I think moreso he's the key.
Dolphins and Knoghts look eerily similar athletically."
"This is what happens when you can't recruit you have these struggles.
We can't afford to let him go because we lack experience if we had have landed Barnett or Kolomatangi the club holds the cards in this negotiation.If we don't sign him and we go…"

Wonder the same. Crazy but he must've been told quite early on thst we weren't re-signing.
Often wonder the amounts a player like Dylan for eg would sign on for over there? Given their cap is so much less than ours, it can't be much?
Do not think he has been that good this year.

Ryley Smith will take his role.
Or Harrison Edwards, have him on the bench as that Hooker/Lock alternative.
Please tell me you're joking?
Two things about Dylan Walker for me-
1- that we've never tried him at any other position eg 5/8 or centre when we've been desperate for both these posis over last couple of years. Guaranteed he wouldve shat on pezet for one at 5/8th.
2- thst we have deemed him not up to it quite early this year by reports we aren't re-signing. Truly as is we don't need his versatility and experience with our young ones. Just don't get it.
