Interesting....he's a big bloke, but that doesn't necessarily make him a decent prop...hopefully he can run his weight.

If anybody wants to ask him, his twitter handle is: @engywalmsley

I was just going to say he's impressively weathered and balding for a 21 year old. From Google it seems he's highly rated, he won player of the year at student level and Conference level and has apparently turned down several Super League approaches to focus on University.

Sounds good, there is at least potential there.

Never seen Walmsley but would much rather take a punt on him than someone like Paul Wood. Cheaper and far more scope for improvement. Don't rate Wood at all.

Ditto. Wood has been around for a decade yet I'm hard pressed to think of him doing anything besides breaking bones.

This is the REAL Alex Walmsley, taken from the Batley website.

Not a rugby rumour, but the rumour is that Mark Flanagan is after Michelle Keegan! http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-n ... ng-1301392

Well... We are now allowed to sign players again so I would have anticipated a bit of activity as we attempt to freshen up one of the dullest squads we have had in years.

Anyone? Anything?

I'm not holding my breath. I badly fear Manu/Turner might be the extent of our recruitment for 2013.
