I think all things considered Walker is likely on his way there’s been rumours a while but as I said earlier I think people obsess a lot more in this country about pigeon holing players then they do in Aus and it might not necessarily mean he’s coming in as the starting fullback.
For a start he’s very much going to be a ‘project’ player, for perspective he’s not rated as highly as Hoy was who a had a lot more NRL experience but as we saw he was still far from the finished article. Also a lot of the modern athletic backs over there swap and change and slot in whatever position is needed or where the biggest contract is. Very little is known about him as he’s not played first grade and he can obviously play fullback but maybe Cartwright just see’s him as a raw talent he doesn’t want to miss out on rather then having any specific role in mind for him. I think one thing that’s pretty clear is he looks quick and I think everyone would agree that’s something we are going to need in the backline especially next season.
