Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 3300313, member: 8290"] Is he a really good player? I'm not sure about that. He's performing quite well given his limited experience, but it remains to be seen if he's actually a quality NRL player or not (Hence the reason I'd like to see how he goes against actual defensive systems). He could also gain confidence and get experience in the NRL. Agreed. We'd be replacing a running half with no skill (Croft) with a running half with an undetermined amount of skill (Mam). Yes, that is true. There's a difference, no doubt. I assume the message from the coaching staff would be the same for all debuting players, regardless of where they're named - run hard, tackle hard, play what's in front of you. Walsh was thrust in to a Warriors side in complete turmoil, struggling side, players coming, players going, captain leaving, injuries, suspensions, playing away from home. I wouldn't say they were the ideal circumstances to come in to in your first NRL season, nor would I call the Warriors a battle-hardened side, plenty of inexperience and youth across the park. Walker's situation was certainly better, but he was still rushed in to a Roosters side who had just lost arguably their 3 most important players (Keary, Cordner, Friend). Point being, it's rare for a debut to happen in perfect circumstances. Is he the future?.. That's a very bold statement. I think he's got reasonable potential, but certainly aren't penciling him in as an NRL mainstay just yet. I never intentionally misinterpreted anything, I quoted exact comments and responded to them. Once again, I have no issue with people disagreeing with me, that's life. I would just prefer it if people put in a bit of effort when doing so. This post is a good example of a healthy way to disagree with someone, provide reasons, explanations, examples, etc. Far more engaging than the dribble that lead us to this point. [/QUOTE]
