Gee, I don't know. 6 is the most specialist position on field, and Walsh is a genuine fullback. I agree he does look like a 6 playing 1, more than Lockyer did, but we haven't even tried him at fullback yet. Let's give him a season before rushing to shift him. Farnworth and Cobbo, maybe. They've both played 1 before, and Cobbo, particularly, seems destined to move closer to the ball. For now, I'd like to see them stay put.
I'd like to see us stick to our knitting and see where we end up.
Yes, I like what I've seen of Madden too. He reminds me of Brodie Croft before he descended into our bottomless pit of failed halves. For better or worse.

good thing is he has two years picking reynolds brain to show if he is the man for the job.
keeps pressure on mam for his spot too which cant hurt.

Just out of curiosity, how did you come up with 6 being the most specialist position on the field?

What a spoilt, whinging and whining little brat. :\

Would be a snack pack at Belmore.
I think it speaks volumes that we let him to the dogs and not down the road the Dolphins.

Not saying Walsh and Mam will be in the halves together any time soon.. It would have to be forced by Cobbo or Herbie earning the fullback spot.
I don’t doubt for a second that Walsh can play 6.
Remember Cody Walker played a fair bit of fullback when he was younger. I think Walsh would be a similar style 6.

But being able to play 6 and being able to outplay the best of the best at 6 might not be the same thing. Billy came to us as a 6, wanted to play 6, shone at 6 in the trials, got found out and wound up as a makeshift hooker. Walsh has come to us as 1. Let's see him kill it there first before we plan to base our entire team around him.

So from what I’ve gathered Karl is like Josh Schuster but he looks where he passes.

He’s talented enough to transition to 6 in the future and play very well.. But I’m saying to do this in 3+ years time.. Not now.. He should definitely play fullback while he’s young.. I don’t even agree with Ponga moving to 6 yet. Knights are just lucky they got Miller to replace him at fullback this year.
