Agree on this, and for this reason I'd be keen to hold on to him if the price is right. He may be an additional middle, but when he is on he can offer a real point of difference. Also agree with those asking who we replace him with - we've not had great success there just recently.

Reports are that we'll have an all state of origin coaching lineup next year ... Of course doesn't mean any of these guys can coach.
Sounds like our assistants will be Barrett, Ballin and Te'o
Not that bad of a lineup.
Te'o is a bit unknown (at least for me) but Ballin has been going well here, and Barrett is a good assistant (shit head coach though)

If we are losing Kobe to Wests and Taupau is not being renewed, could this mean that Horsebreath is our in? I'm just speculating.

He did have a meeting with us and I believe Horsebreath would offer more if given a chance, than both Kobe and Taupau are offering.

Gotta speculate to accumulate. I like your logic.

I thought I sa somewhere he was leaving. I could be wrong.

a) Boyd was one of the best fullbacks in his day (especially organising the defensive line) he just played 2 years too long. There is plenty he can teach Walsh.
b) there was a rumour that Des was interested in Ballin, but at this stage nothing has eventuated from that.

Can't we just give them Baker instead.

Marty has been good these past few weeks .
Played a role and was disciplined .
Could he sustain his form for another season ?

I stand by my comment. Baker is ready to unlock his animal status for the finals push! He will be the Palasia of BHQ and stun us all!

Walsh hasn't shown any improvement in this area in 2024 unfortunately.

Walsh has hardly had any consistency of game time to apply any learnings for anything during the 2024 season.

Not disagreeing with you but to me his positional play has regressed in 2024

Yea I do agree with you there. Marty has definitely improved and been more aggressive off the bench. I would be happy to sign him one more year and let others go.

I don’t disagree but his second coming was fairly dismal especially his last season.
