They're pants without him

I'd be convincing him to go to Aus, one of the few who could really succeed down there and would get $$$$$.

I think he’d find it pretty tough over there tbh. They’re used to big guys like that and due to his rep over here, he’d have a massive target on him. I suppose it depends what the expectations were on him but if people expected him to smash teams apart in the NRL, like he does here, they’d be disappointed IMO.

Without a shadow of a doubt.

He'd be good, but no better than a Klemmer or even Tom Burgess (a player I really rate).

I actually thought Luke Thompson was a better prop & he's been decent enough in the NRL. Can't really see why AW would perform better, especially at his age.

As long as he does the bizzo in the world cup

Let's hope he doesn't "get injured".

Walmsley is much better than Thompson. Very different players but I know which one I would have preferred to keep! (setting aside age obviously)

That's really interesting to hear. Why so? I always saw Thompson as a player with a much bigger upside.

Walmsley would be one of the best props in the NRL.

Too many British fans view NRL players as gods, all the top super league players (particularly forwards) would also be top/very good NRL players.
