He spent most of the time KO's as I remember
It was during his spell at the club that we actually looked a lot more cohesive as the rest of that season was a bit of a disaster, after realising that Lomax wasn't actually a half back. And he did get ko'd although to be fair they were malicious challenges that would have cleaned anyone out.
Posters are saying that Walsh is a better scrum half which is true but it was only a few weeks ago that people wanted him dropped he was that poor. I just think it would be nice to actually have some decent cover in the halves instead of relying on a second rower all the time.
Charnock's name as been chucked in the mix too, but lets face it, when the club was utterly desperate for a 7 last season, Brown still wouldn't pick him. And Cunningham will only pick him at 9. So I think we need to let go of the idea that he can cover in the halves.
And to say that Matty Smith is average is v unfair IMO. I hate the pies but he does a very good job for them and is now an international scrum half. He's like the Carrick of rugby league. Only later on will people realise he's actually a very decent player.
Anyway, it's made for an interesting debate were only Saddened agreed with me, ha!
