We took one of the best second rowers in the competition and turned him into a workhorse prop, tell me that is down to low numbers in the front row, why are we down on numbers in front row? Because we got our recruitment wrong.

By the way, we are about to turn one of the most promising young second rowers in the comp into a workhorse Prop now he has apparently found his best position there.

I can`t think of one player in our team that looks better now than they did 2/3 years ago, just my opinion.

To be fair results prove it

Walker was a desperation signing, with some utility value, when it looked like Hampshire was leaving. He looked way out of his depth defensively in those early 2020 games and that, coupled with injury, put the writing on the wall. If I saw his name on the team sheet I would be scared to death.
He is now surplus to requirements but I also think it's fair to the guy himself to let him have a chance to resurrect his career elsewhere during what's left of the season. Winners all round.

I'd say Westerman too. He didn't play this well at his other clubs.
