It's pretty clear that with Walsh we are a top 4 team and contender... compared to being near bottom 4 without him.
And this is the sort of stuff that make me furious, every other day the media is shitting all over the bloke for the stuff that doesn't go to plan.
The kid is 23. He's easily got another decade and change left in his career. Most play makers are well on their way to 30 before they become consistent NRL performers.
Shitting on him all the time could really mess him up. He needs to develop and improve, no question. But the manner in which he's a lightning rod for all the teams problems when we lose is utter bullshit.
We surely have the top 3 worst 2nd rowers pairings in the comp, if not the worst.
We're drowning in hookers, but only one has really had a successful campaign this year.
Carrigan has had one of his worst years to date - not a total spud, but he's been very ordinary.
ARey is looking very much past it and super inconsistent.
I shudder to think what Hunt might be like next year - he could very well be playing Left Right Out.
Ezra has had some games where he's gone off like a frog in a sock and a fair few others where I wonder if he's even on the field.
But sure media, let's throw all the shade on the 23 year old as the core problem. /s
