Indigenous V Maori All Stars.. manly players

They didn’t realise walker played in the middle for 60mins?
Maybe he spent more time in the middle, but I doubt it was 60 minutes - would need to watch the replay to determine the exact break up (can't be bothered doing that 😊)

The way Walks has been talking lately, I think he's quite comfortable coming off the bench in the #14 jumper.

He's not just talking the talk either. He now looks so comfortable getting and giving whacks in the middle.

He might well be the most complete footballer currently playing the game. There is not one position on the field he now can't play at a pinch.

Played in the halves and fullback enough to know what he needs to do and where the ball needs to go.

Pretty sure he got pushed to back row for a bit last night.

He is looking fit, hopefully for that extra running needed to play more hooker from the bench.

He might have lost a yard. But he is now physically stronger, and more game aware, So much experience on his side. Has always demanded the footy and had a real presence on the field.

Come on DES. Give him a run at hooker.

Certainly the whole second half, and from just before the Māori try in the first half.
 
As one of the oft-declared "anti-Walker" brigade I must admit that he played very well and was extremely committed and passionate. I'd be delighted if he reproduces these qualities when playing for Manly this season.
He certainly seems to have matured and I think can show real leadership qualities. I still don’t think we will see him much in the centres this year, but picking him at 14 now is good for us as he can cover plenty of positions on the field (anywhere in the backs really as well as lock, and 9) He’s a walk up start for that 14 spot (no pun intended).
