On Walsh, where does he rank on all time talent scale?
Obviously he lacks composure but is still a baby. His mix of speed, agility, evasiveness, playmaking, kicking, passing, running, x-factor and competitiveness - well how many have we seen like this before? Obviously Slater and Lockyer come to mind but Slater didn't have the kicking and the playmaking, anyone else?

He's super promising at the moment and delivering, but would need to be revisited in a few years time to start to get an idea of where he sits.

Walsh's talent honestly now has be the highest of any player ever, factor in his age and how effortlessly he can change games to his favour at a consistent rate it's insane.
Fox had a stat board on on him against Billy with the same amount of games and he had double the line breaks with an extra try, but that ignores all the creation he does which is well beyond anything Billy did in his early 20s.
It is Scary how good this kid is.

He's definitely better than Billy was at the same age, but Slater at 21 is not the same Slater he became at 26/27, he just kept getting better and better, and became one of the best fullbacks of all time thanks to his year to year improvements. If Walsh keeps improving every year in the same way he'll probably be the best
I don't think that is right.
Walsh has 66 games and 28 tries.
Slater 66th game v Cronulla in 05-51 tries.

no.
didn't he move back because of a relationship breakdown/wanting to be closer to his daughter? unless they've moved to sydney I don't see how this would make sense.

So could we but that is called cheating the salary cap. Reece Walsh won't be going anywhere so stress less.

Risk for us is obviously Dolphins and Titans - the former have Hammer and are losing J Bromwich this year and a bunch of other players to re-sign next year, they are not going to put a huge money offer in for him.
Titans - unless they throw Fifi money and then some at him, wouldn't look at them as he is a very passionate player who hates losing.
Very low chance he leaves QLD as his kid was the whole reason he left Wah's in the first place. If Roosers did try and pay for his Missus to leave and head to Sydney, there's significant rules in place around this which get assessed most regularly when players come over from the UK. But then it is the rorters.
I do think Donuts needs to look in the couch for any spare change to upgrade him this year and next - that's money no-one else can offer him (now).

Rather that than blindly loving a management regime under Paul White that had no idea what it was doing and dragged this great club through the mud.
