Depends on his physical development. Currently struggles in contact in defence and cannot bend the line due to his physical abilities. If he gains more leg speed and power he will be an NRL 13.
Sou d's like we have some big fish lined up for June 30. Dylan has been great but maybe his body is letting him down. His game and body maybe be more suited to super league. Might be some light yet for us suffering parramatta supporters.Â
No use sugar coating this, I see the Roosters are releasing a few players this year, and maybe a few in the future, I don't see them going at anything other than top talent. They are ruthless & will release any player to get their man, they recruit talent, not rejects from other clubs, we need to be better.Â
Geeze, if there's one player who deserves a contract it's Walker. Feels like our attack comes alive when he's on and our halves get connected to the ball much better. I don't see Hopgood, Guymer or Doorey as good Lock options, and are better suited to the forwards as runners. While Guymer does offer flexibility, he doesn't really break the line much and is easy to get down.
I think Hopgoods the guy at 13 is first year here his ball playing nd off loading was on point.Now that his role has changed he's had to put it ll away.I've kind of always thought Hopgood was the future 13 going foward and that's the guy I'd be putting back there.
The worry is we need those middles to come through and we need to hit on Talataina at 6 so we only have to go to market for outside backs.
The other problem is he is our best defensive forward by a hundred yards (he is the missing ingredient this year to last year with our defensive patterns) so it makes it hard to be a ball playing lock and our best defensive player....btw I agree Lock is his natural position....the other thing to take into account is when switched to the front row last year, he really came good and met that defensive upgrade we re/acquired. Can we find another Hoppy to go with the original?
"Joash and Origin shouldn't be spoken in the same sentence. I like his energy and enthusiasm but plenty of other players should have been given the opportunity who have a realistic chance of actually playing origin.
It seems they wanted 1 player…"
"Haha Hoey, I thought the 1EE attitude was "We want better, let's sign some decent players and win in Vegas"
Put the NRL licence to good use and actually compete instead of making up the numbers. LOL"
"It will help as being around champions always does. They brought him in as 1) on his bye week and injury free 2) He could be in the frame in future perhaps. Also maybe needed a fullback for opposed. They have Talagi for halves and Croker and…"

Yeah can see this being a contract for him to retire o; and yeah good on him.
As others have said we had better have some decent signings in the pipeline for 27 or we are going to be in for more pain aka Clubber Lang styles...

Maybe looking at Connor Watson?
I see him as a bit of a ball hog this year. Not distributing well. Goes hard but I doubt we go after him.Â

We are missing his defence a lot as you have said. Him and Smith together used to clean up a lot of tackles last yearÂ
