Assuming he gets fit, he needs to develop a passing game. Myler isn't a great halfback but he's a lovely passer out wide. If Walker had that in his game he'd be a very different proposition. All the best to him, I personally don't think the ridiculous hype about him was ever justified, but if he stays fit and works on his game he may well end up back in SL.

If we were up to the maximum cap last season which I find hard to believe . And now we have players like Briscoe, Walker, Sutcliffe, Thompson and Dwyer leave. We are bringing in several nobodies (with potential) at a considerable reduction to those mentioned above. Yet we cannot afford Zak tells me it is either lies or Tetavano, Fusitua and Prior are on a hell of a lot more than we what think. Very poor management from the likes of Hetherington and Sinfield and questions should be asked how we have got to this stage.

I'm not too worried about the squad. Think we'll bring maybe one or two more in. If RS managed to get our current squad to a GF, then he can work wonders with the next lot.
He's clearly viewing a long term project with the young players he is bringing through, but we've still got most of our first choice 17 in place for next season, so why can't we make another charge for the top.
I'd be more comfortable with another centre and a prop, but it's hard to argue we're not more balanced and agile as a squad than last season.
Yep, reads as if we couldn't offer him a big enough contract as Leigh have done. From the looks of it another addition is coming in with the money they were offering Zak, assume that will be Nene McDonald.

I read it slightly differently, I read it as we cleared cap space and made him an offer, but he got a better more lucrative offer elsewhere, as good as Zak is part of the reason we are in a SC mess is paying players too much, so not doing it again makes sense.

Yea, it could be that. I suppose we'll know more once the length of his Leigh contract is announced.
