I very much doubt that, I'd be shocked if that was the case. I followed the NRL last year, and specifically him after we had signed him, and I don't recall that happening. I could be wrong but I'd be surprised if I am on this occasion mate.

He'd do well to get an 86% conversion rate if he missed 26 consecutive attempts.

Might want to read the post you quoted again.

As far as goal kicking goes, yes. Lomax and makinson are reasonable kickers as well.
As for halfbacks, no. It's him or we're up a famous creek with no hint of a paddle

He had some run going or kicked so many in one game. Can't think what it was now but he's a good kicker.

Just hope we don't pile the work load and pressure on Walsh like Warrington did with briers. We are expecting Walsh to be our organiser, ball player, field kicker and goal kicker which isn't ideal for a guy who doesn't like pressure.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a 6 who could also play a bit ...

I think I'd be tempted to play Wilkin there. He's the best we've got to a stand off and will take the load off Walsh.

I just got a feeling we will get good go forward this year, get teams on the back foot, quick play the ball for Roby who will feed Walsh but then Hohaia will stop the move dead as he's slow thinking. Lance takes to much time on the ball as he's not a halfback and then we've lost the front foot.

+1
He's not the "running" half that people want to compliment Walsh, but he's much better at the core halfback skills that Hohaia, which is running moves smoothly. He also has a better kicking game.

Fully agree, this happened countless times last year. Lance just stops our momentum dead
