Walker at 5/8 and positives

Seems like last year all over again. Same people death riding, same people see hope.

Some people should look up the DCE death riding threads after game 1 in 2011.
We almost needed the lifeline number at the bottom of every page.

i think expecting DCE to play a thurston like role, demanding the ball and organising the team, is a bad error
he's never been an organiser - he floats in and out of games, makes silly mistakes, but often just does brilliant sh!t out of nowhere to set up or score a try.
from what i've seen of parcell, out of your middle field players, he's the guy to do the organising, establish the structure, etc. apart from being skilful, he's got a great game face - eyeing out options rather than just delivering the ball to DCE

walker seemed fine, his kicks were often ineffectual and too frequent, but i reckon he'll slot in ok. with DCE as he is, and a running 5/8, i really think we need an 80 min hooker - and parcell's the guy for that role.

if he needs a rest, we could do worse than having ferris out of dummy half and bring on another big bopper. ferris is a 100 minute player when available.

Good points mate.
