SQUAD v STORM

[SamKerrSimp]

Completely uncomfirmed, but I've heard that Sam walker had quite bad symptoms after the concussion and might get an extra weeks rest, couldn't blame him after that knee. But as I said completely uncomfirmed.

Just watching NRL 360 now and they said he's still suffering delayed concussion symptoms and was only named because we have to name a certain amount of players should be back next week

"Who can tell me" Waylander!!!!???? google

I was hoping to hear from someone on here who has watched him play. If I want info from Google I'll ask Sally.

Hope he's doing ok, positive that they think he will be back next week hopefully only precautionary.

The carry on from some on here about being named in the 22 is a bit over the top.

Dam here I was hoping for walker to be back and s smith back also
- Jenko maybe lucky to keep a centre spot over pauga
- sounds like walker may not play with delayed concussion
- Also Wong suspended so having a week off

so it’s round 7 and we have missing
Leniu / b smith / s smith / sitili / walker / Wong / young
up to 7 first graders
and no toia / Murphy / king / moriaty and Foketi in res grade
Murphy must be injured again
Vaa playing his first game of the year in res grade

For Anzac Day should have
S smith, sitili, Wong and young at least all back in contention

I watched him play his debut in NSW Cup last week. He went really well tall with some size about him defended and ran strongly made a huge linebreak in the second half. One of best in a beaten side.

Yeh big upper body, really good work rate and has a good all round game from what I have seen of him last year.

Will be interesting to see how he transitions into senior footy this year as his body shape profiles more as a middle than edge forward but he's still very young, was playing SG Ball last year so still too early to predict how he'll develop.

Noticed he's been named in all 3 senior grades this week..

That’s like the good old days where you might actually play all grades on the one day depending on injuries etc

That's alot of missing cattle. One thing is for certain, our injuries haven't improved.

The whole comp seems to be feeling it this year.

This is true. Would love to see us string some games together full strength though

Thanks guys, good info. He sounds like a good prospect.

The descriptions made me think immediately of Cords. Hopefully he's in that mould.

Walker will start. Watson back to the bench with E Butcher dropping off the bench.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Really surprised that Paps wasn't suspended for his hip drop on the Fox.

[Thirteen]

If Walker is being held back because of a successful Keary/Watson combo, surely when Sandon is back we go Sandon/Walker combo because that has looked our best this year.

Yeh they kill drop Keary.
