If you're signing him as KPP's replacement, then that's a mistake. He's not an edge forward. He's a middle forward. His lateral movement isn't quick enough for 2nd row.

Both Walters and Chan are props and appear to be replacements for Singleton and Mago. As far as a replacement for KPP I don't know. There are rumours that we still have two players incoming but who they are and their positions is not known. At present we have back rowers such as Farrell, Isa, Shorrocks, Smithies KPP and latterly Nsemba. KPP is leaving and isa'a status for next year isn't known.

Agree we won't use Walters as a back rower unless of dire need.

To be fair. Everytime I’ve seen him play he has been half decent. Similar size and build as George Delaney just not as good. However. If you listen to the Leeds fans he’s not good enough for their 17??? I would definitely have him at saints as our 5th choice prop/project prop as there is some raw talent there

Re: Sam Walters : Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:35 pm  

He already hates Saints. Love it

Re: Sam Walters : Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:37 pm  

Looks every bit a second row forward.

Re: Sam Walters : Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:37 pm  

They hate him, which is a great sign. Looks a stunning bit of business at the minute.

Re: Sam Walters : Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:41 pm  

He certainly looks capable of playing on the edge, looks his best position currently, hes not a workhorse but seems to make things happen. On another note McDonnell is quality, nothing too flashy but works his socks off on both sides of the ball and would have been an ideal replacement for Isa, think we’ve made a big mistake letting him go.

Certainly does. That Halsall kid looked like a prospect for Hudds last night too.

I'd also probably take Austin on a one year deal for 2024 too.

Been on the pitch all game I believe although he’s hardly seen loads of the ball, I do think he’s better suited to second row which he is playing tonight but he has the frame to put on another couple of stone and become a monster at prop in a few years. Very excited by this signing and all our signings for next season who I think will improve us (Chan is a bit of a project signing imo)
