Sam Walker

He's had a very good year and no doubt is a player of the future. But a couple of things he's done this year has annoyed me and questions his competitiveness.

Last night they got a penalty on full time in an attacking position. He chose to take the tap and kicks the ball into touch. Tedesco seemed annoyed. Yes they were behind by 36 but take the tap and put up an attacking bomb or spread the ball and try to get Morris a final try. Or even let Morris take a penalty kick.
A few weeks back he ran the ball backwards to wind down the clock which seemed to annoy his coach.

He's just inexperienced and probably had the shits. The one where he ran the ball backwards the other week was just pure arrogance. It wasn't a bad move to wind the clock down, but unsportsmanlike and looked a little odd. I'm sure deep down the coach wasn't overly disappointed but just had to put on a show for the cameras.

  Where's a leg cramp when you need one?

    Kenny Edwards patented it.

Yeh I had no issue with that last night at all. Down by 30 points with zero time left. It was over.

I think Dylan browns first year was more impressive than Sam walker. Walker showed more attacking ability when roosters middle were rolling through, but Dylan was better overall

Ohh please, Numbers, if that's all it takes to annoy you. I think these Covid Lockdowns are effecting everyone. The wife the other night was staring at me on the lounge and demanded that I blink quieter.

"Not actually" .

  Haha yeah it's probably Covid. Or Maybe I just don't like him or his dad and uncles. I think he's overrated. Reece Walsh would be my pick for ROTY.

He just thinks he's the leader of the team, and probably needed to listen to the leaders of the team. A little over-arrogant I think, especially in that game when he ran all the way back to his own tryline to save a game.

He's definitely a talent but I think like some talented halves in the past, he will fade away and not be as consistent as Cleary.
