If he's as good as his agent seems to think he is , Then He'll be signing for Penrith anytime soon !!
Personally , I think he's a decent player but not the player his agent seems to think he is , Maybe Walker needs to stop reading his headlines .
As COYH says , 4 clubs and nobody wants to sign him ,
They must be something there keeping the clubs from going anywhere near him
.
I hope he sorts a club out soon though .
You would have to assume his track record injury wise won't be helping his cause. Squad management is so important these days, players being unavailable for whatever reason can have a major effect on how a club's season may pan out. The clubs who get these kind of decisions right tend to the ones who have the successful seasons. Squad recruitment/management has been one of our (many) failings over recent years.
I feel for Walker as he is still more than capable of being a decent SL player, he showed it for us on occasion even through the mayhem of last year, but I have a feeling club's are viewing him as too big a risk especially if he's angling for a sizable salary. If he continues spending as much time on the treatment table as he does on the pitch it can become a hindrance to a club's hopes and ambitions.
It's hardly his fault that he's developed a habit of breaking down at inopportune moments but, unfortunately for him, elite sport is a fairly ruthless business today, those that take the hard decisions even when they may be unpopular are the ones who tend to thrive as hard as it may sound and appear. Walker (and his agent) may find they have to lower their sights, and demands, in order to secure a deal with someone. Like I said, it's become a brutal business with little room for sentiment these days.
