Only time will tell on that one, but what if Walters gets injured again and spends most of the season on the sideline, the transition will be rushed, likewise if Faz gets injured Walters would probably be first in the position but that would be out of necessity rather than careful planning

Walters should be playing prop.

To replace who, Havard, Thompson, Mago or Dupree or even Hill, we need a second row for when Faz moves on and as far as I aware Walters has been brought in for that position

It was a shame the season ended when it did for Walters as he was very effective at second row in the playoff against Leigh.

He had some tough luck last year. A combination of personal and team-wide injuries, changes in regards to who he lined up with and bans really hit him hard.

He looked very good towards the end of the year, and it’s no surprise that this coincided with him playing outside France and in a team that had "flipped the switch" and was ready for playoff rugby.
