"Walker firstly is more experienced and also came from one NRL team to another. He also isn't playing 80mins like French is.
French needs combinations with his edge, fullback, hooker and halfback. As well understanding the defence.

My case in point…"
Only 3 games into his eels career, plenty of ups and downs from Pezet but for the most part he seems a solid young half. His defence needs a lot of work but not sure moving to Brisbane and facing all of that pressure is going to help him. Looks like…
"Though you have options for Lcok you are lacking your link man with Walker. Him at 6 doesn't do much for our team if he is not in middle."
"It was awesome. A few timing tweaks with the song it'll be even better. I hope the fans get it and start rocking the F outta that stadium. Shame we didn't get 30,000 yesterday. Was a beautiful Sunday afternoon "

Both were terrible yesterday in cup along with the rest
The Match Review Committee has referred Couchman straight to the judiciary.
I feel sorry for Couchman here. There's a 100 of these tackles each week, and 99 of them don't result in an injury. In this case, it really sucks for Hopgood with season over, and no doubt the punishment handed to Couchman will be somewhat reflective of that. As Ryles said in the presser, none of the players mean to do tackles like this, it's a side effect of how the game is played now.
I do not solely blame Couchman for this incident - I blame the constant changes to the game overall. PVL and his clown offsider Abdo should be fronting up about the way the game has been changed. Players cannot even challenge a kick....yet we have seen at least 3 tackles go wrong with shoulders hitting an opponent in the head and basically three outcomes.
