Walsh also never had the privilege of being coached by pies… otherwise he would have a spoon

He’d have a better chance than most at success, but this would be a marketing signing. A bit like Folau or Hunt to AFL

I'm not convinced he has a skillset for Union tbh. If he picks the wrong team to join he could really get exposed with his lack of background as a Union player. He's a fantastic athlete, but what he is good at suits league.

6 doesn’t require that much skill… 8 only slightly more…
I get what you’re both saying but I reckon he’d brain it.

This is correct
Games with Reece this year: 16-5 (76%), 30.1 ppg for, 19.9ppg against
Games without Reece: 2-4 (33%), 19.7 ppg for, 21.9 ppg against.
- Swing of +16.2 points per game when we have Reece
Games with Haas: 15-9 (62.5%), 26.8 ppg for, 21.9 ppg against
Games without Haas: 3-0 (100%), 36 ppg for, 15.3 ppg against
- Swing of -15.8 points per game when we have Haas
Haas is hugely important and easily the best middle in the game, but if I had to choose between the two then it's Reece.

I’d agree that he’s fast for a front rower. But not breakaway fast. It’s the first 10 that are important.
Plus the scrum. He’d be exposed by some 5 foot 9 fence post with scrum smarts

Marketing to who though?
Are Qlders and NSW'men going to watch it... because they're the only people who know who he is.
The only reason R360 is getting any traction is because league media are absolute bottom of the gutter filth that is happy to sell out its own game for a click

Speed wise, For a 7 yes..
6 and 7’s (lol I did the meme) are different…
The skill gap would be wider if he was playing 1 or 3…. A 6 has **** all impact on a scrum,

I might be playing by an old meta tho… 7’s used to be shorter and faster and 6’s were more lumbering and bigger body’s… I played rugby growing up but really stopped watching it about 10 years ago.

Both players are exceptional…
I just think we’ve seen more Reece Walshes than we have Payne Haas’s
They’re both on track to be the best ever in their positions tho…

You just answered your own question. Column inches.

Column inches equals dollars somehow?
Won't they need eyeballs on the screen... are they relying on Qld and NSW to watch the other form of rugby played at 3am in Spain... because that's their current plan

Has he ever played in the back row?
Probably their highest value signing which is a bit iffy. This is pure marketing.

Why else would they be “going after” untried league players

Haas is generational and will surely go down as the greatest prop of all time and possibly an immortal if he stays.....
But anyone who would trade haas for walsh needs to deadset commit themselves.
An immortal prop is still a prop... a game winning fullback....is, well, still a game winner...
