Sam Walker & Billy Smith

[Rooster_6]

Interesting to see what the new dates mean for these two.

Sam Walker turns 18 on June 2nd. A week after the comp restarts.

Billy Smith will be 5 months into his 7-9 month recovery time when the comp restarts at the end of May.

If Kyle Flanagan struggles throughout then I would give Walker a chance. Seeing highlights of Sam Walker makes me excited of his potential. Billy Smith on the other hand, I hope does come back but I would wait on him because personally, I wouldn't rush him back in the side just in case anything bad happens.

I saw an interview afew weeks ago with Smithy ..In that he stated he won't be playing till next year...you never know though .

i hope we do not rush sams development, although he looks promising he is still fairly small and would be ran at 24/7. Lets give flanno a chance before we talk about putting walker in. He is only 17

Yeah, that's why I said if Flanno struggles, obviously everyone would want to see Flanno fulfil his potential, including myself. He's has flashes of good play and I hope he pans out well but, it's always worth a go if he has a poor run of games.

I give Sam Walker zero chance of playing FG this year.
People are playing with themselves if they think otherwise.

The club would have to be down Flannagan, Lam, Hutchinson & Verrills before they would consider him, He is not NRL tough yet he would get smashed.

It's all too confusing for me.

In Trent I trust.

Agree Mick. This is a development year for him all round.

It's just a shitter we haven't got lower grades playing. Maybe he gets a run in the "leftovers trials" the Apollo team will discuss tomorrow.

If it was a 'normal' season I think he may have seen a few minutes over the SOO period, I don't think he is a chance now.
I also think if Hutchison was to start in numerous games for us we would be absolutely farked

R6.. where’ve ya been ?

[mattyh]

I personally hope Flanagan plays the house down and we don't have to worry about it.

[Vasco]

Can't see Billy Smith playing this year.

Sam Walker will be doing well to be playing next year let alone in 2020.

Now that J Morris has arrived Smith has dropped in the pecking order.

[HBK]

No need to throw Walker in too early. Nikorima became damaged goods when we put him in earlier than we should have

[Bahrain Rooster]

If either play first grade this year it will be a shock. Smith will probably be alright to play by the end of the season but the lack of reserve grade means he can’t get minutes to build confidence.
