This is what I am yet to understand about Walters playing 40 minutes last week followed by a bye.
I thought if he played 40 last week it was to be ready for Panthers, but then he doesn't play and Souths have the bye this week- so Walters gets another week off.
He's now gone 60 at half, 80 at half, 40 at hooker and week off. So, his prep for the Cowboys could be 40 minutes in two weeks after 10 months off.
Unless he's staying in Cup and they're not getting him ready for NRL then he will be in Innisfail for Country week when the Broncos play the Cowboys.
Souths have another bye last round and are in 11th- four Magpies games left in the year maybe.
