Just read on that twat the Lurker that Parra are chasing Kirisome. Its an interesting one though as he is without a doubt an awesome player and perhaps a fair bit cheaper than Walker.
Could it be that Souths are actually happy to offload him instead? Parramatta Eels could potentially do something with his DV record by community work and educating kids etc.
Who would you rather, Walker or him? I'd go him if we picked today.

The only thing I'd like to see Auva'a targeted with is a fist to the face.
Former drug dealers and gang members, Ron.
Don't be sexist Ron. The correct term is sheila!
Walker's the better player, more speed, better skills. Auva'a is aggressive and strong, but he mainly plays left centre.
The Lurker might be pulling everyone's legs as all the mail that is coming my way suggests that it's a matter of time before Auva'a re-signs at the Bunnies.
Don't want that woman bashing piece of shit here.

Not too bad overall stats wise in 2014 but obviously the main gripe for many is not on-field form but his idiocy off it, and rightfully so. 2015 affected him and his decline in stats show that, especially his missed tackle numbers and drop in metres gained overall.
From a statistical perspective, he started 2014 year well after his debut and whatnot but faded throughout that middle part before kicking on again as the season came to a close.
Better defender than I thought he was to be honest and has some decent attacking instinct to create opportunity but obviously anything positive on the field is negated by what he's done off it.
