Joey Walsh

[Disco]

I mentioned in the matchday thread but things get lost pretty quickly in there.

Very interesting to see Walsh up in the coaches box during the game.

You really only ever see injured key players up there like a Moses, Turbo, Cleary, Ponga etc.

Never rookies.

Club obviously have high hopes.

You’d assume they’d have high hopes for him and they want him to learn as much as they can,but I suspect he was also up in the coaching box because he wouldn’t of had anywhere or anyone else to sit with at the ground.Doubt they’d allow him to sit on or near the bench on the sideline

Surely we'd of had staff up there seated behind the bench no?

It can be trouble when you allow Manly players to sit on the sidelines . . .

I’m not disagreeing with you re what the club think of him and he’d learn more sitting in the box than amongst the crowd(football wise) but they take minimal staff on trips like that and the rest of the reserves were back in Sydney playing reggies

Possible but certainly suggests he's being fast tracked.

Just being in the squad for game day is something many youngsters are given a few goes at before actually getting a run. He's played very little footy this year.

Definitely good to see though.

Yeah, does suggest Seibs is bringing him in to A grade. Interesting.

Can't see Joey being thrown in on Friday. I think it's a great opportunity for Jake Arthur to show his old club something. Surely the motivation will be there for him. Hope Seibs doesn't do anything silly by throwing a forward into 5/8 . Leihi could handle it though.

Is it possible that Brooks will play halfback, Lehi plays 5/8th & Walsh comes in on the wing for Lehi to blood him in first grade old skool stylee?

No 😂

 

[47MVEagle]

Ah well, it was worth a shot lol

 

[Jay Eagle]

No 😂

I remember when Hogkinson left for the Dogs we debut and fresh faced DCE straight into the halves with Foz

Im hoping Walsh can do the same

Not sure we want our great white hope halfback taking yardage hit ups into forwards each set. Playing wing these days is very different to the days of old.

Me too, but

If the coach and CEO thought that, they wouldn't have signed Fogarty for 3 years.

If he is picked, and its a big if, I hope he brains it.

I'm sure someone with a better memory will correct me if I am wrong but didn't Manly send DCE to play with the Sunshine Coast for a year before he made his first grade debut?

He didn't go from under 20s straight to first grade.

DCE didn’t debut in first grade until he was 22 after playing 20’s at Manly then up to the Sunny Coast for a season of QCup.So a fair bit more experience and age on Walsh

Correct. Daly might even have been 22 or 23 when he made his debut. I remember the game, it was in Melbourne and I was there (one of @Mark from Brisbane travelling tours from memory. Manly lost but a solid round 1 performance .

Walsh by comparison is 19 (his birthday was yesterday!)

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Hmm actually now that I looked it up and found he turned 19 yesterday, added to being in the game day squad last week... methinks the odds of him getting a debut run in the 17 next week are better than I previously thought! 💡

Yep remember that

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Made the top 13 with those other 12 guys.

They had a problem drinking water that was actually wine though. This led to one of them snaking one of their mates and getting him busted.

Plus he breached the salary cap by being paid 30 pieces of silver by a third party.

~cough~

Watching Jaxon Perdue - he's touted as one of many next big things and had an off night I thought (can happen) but.....

cutting to it I don't want to rush Walsh in. Fogarty and Brooks will do.
