Edwards can't pass or kick, all his attacking ability's are either created for him via Yeo or Cleary or he runs like a centre(and to be fair he is damn good at that role and there is definitely a place for that role depending on the how you base your team around).Edwards is absolutely a beast in attack. Not quite on the same level as Reece, but has far less mistakes in his game too which is an attacking stat. That juiced up baldy is the best fullback by a country mile at the moment, and for under a million too.
As far as attacking goes, Edwards can find his front foot and get quick play the balls better , makes less mistakes . So those sort of make up for the fact he's not as fast as Reece. He can definately bust a tackle better too.
Walsh on the other hand is the creator he can do the cut out pass, the short pass or the short kick on instinct(does long kicks at a high level too), it's a completely different type of attacking style, he plays fullback basically one to one how Locky did back in the day with all the half skills but Walsh is just that bit more nimble and speedy which allows him to be very damaging when he chooses to run himself, but at the same time he is probably a bit worse in defence in return.
It is to be fair hard to compare the two when they play the same position soo differently it's very dependant on the rest of the team on how suitable they are for the role.
