I think it'll happen and be announced in the next 48 hours. It's the logical move for both clubs.thats what i wanted to know will the swap mean Walsh comes this year ?

sweet, I wouldn't mind getting Walsh earlier.I think it'll happen and be announced in the next 48 hours. It's the logical move for both clubs.
That's something I think is very likely until Herbie is back. Once Herbie is back though, one of them has to go, but being the NRL there's always someone injured every week so he'll find a way into the team.sweet, I wouldn't mind getting Walsh earlier.
Just a suggestion ik we have tried it but how about Tesi to left centre and Walsh FB
Yeah i think for this season it can work, Tesi has good carries, and speed. Only weakness was defence as wll (when we tried him at centres) but on the left with Capewell and Oates he might go alright.That's something I think is very likely until Herbie is back.

Walsh at the back. thats a solid back 5
1. Walsh
2. Oates
3. Staggs
4. Nui
5. Cobbo
Noooo! He can’t defend, he literally can’t make a tackle. He avoids contact.Yeah i think for this season it can work, Tesi has good carries, and speed. Only weakness was defence as wll (when we tried him at centres) but on the left with Capewell and Oates he might go alright.

Yep I remember too, he was awful when he played centre for us last yeae. But he was also only 18 so ill give him the benefit of the doubt. Centre is a prick of a spot to come into, hardest place to defend I feelNoooo! He can’t defend, he literally can’t make a tackle. He avoids contact.
100% agree with this. It would not sit right with me that the players who got us in this position not be allowed to enjoy the outcomes of their hard work.Unless TMM really wants to leave early, I wouldn't make the trade. TMM deserves his chance at fifinals.
You might want to watch more than the highlights of Walsh. I'm not sure I'd rate his defence over Tesi. It's actually a bit of a worry.Noooo! He can’t defend, he literally can’t make a tackle. He avoids contact.
Hopefully, he'll rack up a hat trick this weekend, cement his position and Herbie will get the rest of the season to recuperate.That's something I think is very likely until Herbie is back.

I wouldn’t play him in the centres either!You might want to watch more than the highlights of Walsh. I'm not sure I'd rate his defence over Tesi. It's actually a bit of a worry.
If Walters wants to stick around for 250k, we'd be mad not to keep him.So how do we feel about losing Te Maire Martin to retain Billy Walters?
In my opinion, Billy has been perfect for us to date, has earned his position, but is now the last weak link in the premiership winning squad his father is building. I think his old man should find him a position in the ESL while he's on a roll. Before he's forced to drop him. Which must happen.
I'm not calling it nepotism, but by next season it will be a clear conflict of interest. He came into the squad as a 6, has been fashioned into our starting 9 and has been picked every week this season, barring the last through injury. He's been good enough. No question. But that's the only position left we need to improve.
The decision to invest in him will cost us Turpin, who in fairness hasn't put up a fight. Kelly will no doubt also leave. No one is too bothered by either. But Te Maire is a notch above Billy. Could he have slotted into 9? I think so. And what if Gamble leaves? And what about Tesi? Where could he potentially fit in?
At what point do we start to feel uncomfortable?
