Yeah. He's that lazy that he made more meters than any of our other back rowers in 2016:
Pritchard: 2,162
Ellis: 1,819
Manu: 1,804
Mini: 1,759
Thompson: 1,304
Highest Average Gain:
Pritchard: 8.01
Mini: 7.15
Ellis: 7.13
Manu: 6.49
Hadley: 6.02
Thompson: 5.83
2nd in Carries:
Manu: 278
Pritchard: 270
Ellis: 255
Mini: 246
Thompson: 230
Hadley: 122
What a lazy boy he is, sticking is hand up like that to carry the ball in & make meters.

Hardly a like for like comparison, you played 7 more games than we did.

Dunno, but looking at your post and the word combination within it, I would suggest you aren't from this one!

| Blair staying by the sounds of it, must of turned down Salford, which IMO is right decision and great news for Rovers.
Walker is leaving.
All according to Humberside

We had similar situation with tilse.i still feel he was our best prop this year yet only today my pal was bemoaning losing green and calling tilse.think fans who haven't played see things little differently. Some players settle immediately others take a season or so.pritchards stats look decent but his wage merits mom performances.i wouldn't be surprised to see him go better next year

| Hudgell not happy that Walker's gone after the club stood by him during the allegations. I appreciate loyalty works both ways but in this situation he may have a point. It caused a major embarrassment and distraction but the club supported him throughout. If he was offered the same salary as his SL contract he should have showed a bit of loyalty and stayed at least one more season. Thoughts?

| In my opinion, Hudge is bang on with his statement. The bloke and agent are a bloody disgrace. I'd of even been harsher with the statement.
Here's hoping he joins a club that we can knock out of the league next year.

Once again the dreaded agent strike again like second hand car salesmen wworst thing ever to happen to,professional sport.
I agree with Neil Hudgel Wlakervowed itbtomRovers for standing by him during his what shal we say was a dark time in his life but no just another Judas leaves for 20 pieces of silver.

I don't think you can always blame the agent. The player makes the decision.

Often with a good deal of prompting from the agent who only is in it for what they can obtain financially.

| Massively chuffed about Thomas Minns staying. Very impressed with him. Bags of natural skill and loads of improvement still in him. Hope he avoids head knocks and concussions. Had a few too many last year for my liking and Darrell Goulding's premature retirement kept springing to mind. Let's be fair, Minns is already twice the player Liam Salter is, was and will be.
Adam Walker owes us a year in return for our loyalty and support during his court case troubles last year. But this is sport, he has an agent, he has a limited IQ and the concept of return loyalty probably goes over his head. He is a good player, he will be a loss but he's not irreplaceable. Time to move on.

I can.
He had despicable allegations against him. The club stayed loyal and helped him.....He can't offer 1 season to try and return. He could have been playing for the prison team without the club's help.
He's a classless pr#ck like his brother.
Minns is a great signing. He just needs to get his winger the ball now and again and he'll be a top centre.

| Relieved Minns is staying. One of the few I'd hoped would remain.
Walker was decent and had a few good games. Was much better in the 2015 season. A bit of a loss but in the end only an average forward. Anyone else sick of just accepting average players?
Isn't he going to either Wakey or Salford? If so he might be on the move again this time next year as well.

| Blair, Lunt and Minns are the 3 players I wanted most to stay with us ......Greenwood is the fourth ......Fingers crossed!
As for Walker, he hits the line and turns his back and then tries to do back peddling fairy steps in order to off-load .......That is his entire game! ......Full stop! ......I would have traded Walker with Mitch Clark any day of the week throughout our Super League campaign .......Hopefully Mitch will be our next signing.
And, regarding Walker's loyalty, Hull KR have not only stood by Walker throughout his court cases, but they have also paid for Walker to be chaperoned to every game he has played because this was a condition of his on going court case because he was accused of being a sex offender.
Hopefully we will meet Walker again in the cup, and, hopefully, we will have someone with the mettle of Green to give him the whack that he deserves!

| If Sheens is anything like the disciplinarian I think we need, Walker wouldn't have lasted long anyway. There's only so many weekends you can stagger round Sugarmill with your eyes rolling round your head and your jaw swinging in the breeze before you get found out. Couple more could do to watch their step too.

It's a short career so he quite rightly goes where he can get the most lucrative contract which will still be a fraction of what other professional sports get. He appeared to be your most consistent prop.
This loyalty thing from the club would probably go out of the window if he got a career ending injury....
Think there is a massive over reaction to him leaving..

| When the allegations against Walker came out, the club had two options - suspend him on full pay until the case was resolved, or continue to play him. Presumably one of the reasons they met with his lawyers was to estimate the level of risk to the club's reputation, if they did the latter. If there'd been overwhelming and incontrovertible evidence against him, I'm sure he'd have been suspended. And quite rightly. There apparently wasn't and that was a legal end of it.
The club couldn't convince him that it was going to be the best place for him to be moving forward. I can't muster much outrage. Equally, I'm not overwhelmed with disappointment - he's been a 6 out of 10 for a while. As the Wakey fan above points out that put him among the more consistent performers in the pack, but his departure at least frees up some budget to remodel what has been an area of significant weakness.
Glad Minns is staying. Arguably our best centre when fit in 2016.
