Disappointed Walters isnt in the 17.He's off contract this year and i can see him signing for someone else if he doesn't feature more this season.When i last looked his stats w for hit ups and tackles were higher than Lisone and Sangare,Yardage very similar.I think by the time he hits his mid to late twenties he could be one hell of a prop.

I like Walters.
the other two are surplus

A bit early to be writing Roberts off.He's not ready yet but he has time on his side.Donaldson i agree with.

Let’s not get over carried away too though. He’s promising, but most of our pack is fit and we have other good options. He’ll get game time this year. He’s not a better option than the two you mention yet…..

I disagree to be fair Walters promotes the ball more than others Sangare is still raw himself and Lisone can't do the minute's due to his condition.

Walters hasn’t let anyone down, he’ll get plenty of games this year I reckon and is still transitioning into the front row as well as to open age rugby, he doesn’t need rushing.

Good points, but Rohan currently prefers the other options and don’t think we can argue with that……

I agree that Hudds lack flair , but if we play the passive defence tactic , their forwards will march us 50 plus metres every set , and then their kicking game will put us under more pressure . We cannot win with these tactics .
I also agree Walters deserves his chance - has not let us down when given a chance , and Lisone is knackered after 10 minutes on the field.

Difficult balance i suppose as Lisone isn't ever going to improve his match fitness without getting out there every week (thought he was v good v cats) though Walters has more time on his side as a developing and converted front row.

I like the look of that 17, now for the performance to match.

That’s probably about as good as it gets this season. No excuses, must play well to get the season going.
