You did get some of the best years of one of our biggest legends a few years ago.
Craig Greenhill?
No, but seriously, regarding Walker I'd probably be sad to see some more of our young talent go, but I don't feel we've seen the potential of the guy. He's very injury prone and has had some rather serious injuries, but has shown real glimpses of what he can do. For me he hasn't ever played to his weight, size or capability and should be running the ball in much harder than he does. He also has a rather annoying habit of dropping the ball quite often at the play the ball.
It's strange because when him and Nathan Massey came through at a similar time, I felt Massey was far smaller, and inferior to a player with Walker's size and aggression. Now, I feel that Massey is less expendable to the team than Jonathan Walker because of the way he's applied himself. I just feel that if Walker played with a bit more intensity and consistently, he'd be a real quality player.
I hope that doesn't come across too harshly, but I think he exemplifies what is our problem as a team- he does something brilliant, followed closely by an inexplicable error. He is still only young though, and with the right coaching I think he has the potential to be a top player if he applies himself a little better.
