Quote ="PopTart"I agree actually Musson.
I don't actually want to see an established NRL player. The "Established" that we can afford would really mean "has been" "free rider"
What we need in my opinion is someone who is young and keen, but has experience of running a team, just at the lower level from NRL.
Ironically Isaac John fitted the bill for me but it didn't quite work out
Captained the lower level NZ side and was successful but not yet established in the main team. So did Godinet, though neither quite hit the mark completely.
Both were nearly there and Godinet was a great player, but not quite the half back general we need.
Something like them at the next stage along would work for me. Maybe an NRL player blocked by a star wanting a shot.'"
Cody Walker sort of fits this bill. Has played plenty of lower grade. Held is own in first grade at 5/8 for first few games of season at South's playing behind a beaten pack (don't know how much you could take from that). Has won a player of the year award in lower grades so obviously has some potential. Played at fullback today for South's even though he was named on the wing so he has some versatility too. He's also 26 and an accomplished goal kicker!
I'd be happy if it were him.
