| reading the article it states "bulls decided against signing" which in my eyes suggested Walker may have signed but Bulls havent...therefor unfortunately Mr Walker Tough titties...both parties ahave to sign a biniding agreement before its binding, involving the RFL over here wont help your case now will it...

| Hands up who has already got Orford printed on the back of there new home shirt?
I don't think there is much to worry about tbh. It doesn't sound as if contracts have been signed and its just a natural 'up in arms' reaction from the Walker party.

| Given that the only side of the story on offer is that of Chris Walker's agent, I shall not be reading too much into this at this point.

Unless you're a troll in which case keep it as wet as an otter's pocket.

unless the bulls faxed the contract to walkers agent, how else would he have seen whats on offer, i can't see him complaining if he hadn't signed the contract

| Maybe, if the contract exists, it had a getout clause if Walker's visa was rejected, and maybe he had his visa rejected and is reapplying.
Maybe maybe maybe...

| Let's hope it's all sorted OK. I for one am looking forward to hopefully seeing Orford up against Buderus next year when our teams meet.
2 of my favourite NRL players of last few years against each other.

I'm inclined to agree.

Yes but it was just talks, once the Orford deal was finalized the talks ended.

| I will wait for the clubs take on this, at most it could be seen as cut throat IMO. Doesnt look like a contract was signed.

| I can't see why he would want to sign for us know, when we clearly don't rate him as high as our other over sea's internationals! Why come across to somewhere to 'not be liked?'
Surely, the worst that could happen is another settlemnet figure?

This is tabloid rubbish. Orford is signed and Walker is not.

| just read abit on league hq looks like walker had a letter on intent and a contract was sent across but looks like bulls never signed there part on contract
looks like hes peed with bulls as had a chance to sign for catalans but turned the down.
cant see walker ever pulling on a bulls shirt as no player would want to go to a club that doesnt really want them.think by the sounds of it hes after some compo or is trying to get sorted with another club
