- don’t have any problems with Kobe and Jensen doing majority of the presser interviews… the only people that benefit from Walsh doing the interviews are the journos that want to make a headline. For our best interests better to keep him out the spotlight as much as we can.
Was he even on the field? He was at the Tigers coming off a knee reco.
Oh yeah but there was a plan to bring him here to play halves. Dearden was in the way of that.
Utility, Billy wasn't the first choice five-eighth and it was Kev that pushed for him to play dummy half.
He needed coaching.
Billy himself said he had his eye on 6. Many times. He wasn't too bad at 6 in the trial, but like Rogers and Madden, he was exposed pretty quickly as only adequate. Kev put him at 9 to learn hooking on the job, picked him first every week, and the rest is history.
Not at all. Walsh is the most marketable face in the NRL. He brings bums to seats. His value to the club at the business level extends beyond the field. Journalists are merely conduits between the club and the fans. All parties use each other for their own benefit. But obviously, journalists can become vindictive pricks so trying to point-score or embarrass them is a loser's hand.
Good for Billy.
Ummm, it's pretty much the same thing.
"Correct me if I'm wrong" for a start.
Who got given first shot in the halves?
Different subject matter altogether. He was given a shot at dummy half when he was a complete spud in the halves.
