He's not garbage though is he? He's average. He doesn't miss dramatically more tackles than many other squad second rowers in Super League, he doesn't make that many more errors. He's probably about number 23/24 in the pecking order and he doesn't complain about it. He's probably paid peanuts and he doesn't complain about it. If our squad all stays fit he hardly gets any game time and he doesn't complain about it. He comes in when he's needed and he does an ok job, not great, not terrible, ok. That's the point of having a squad, especially with a salary cap.
He isn't average, he is very far from average. He is absolute garbage. Whether your stats show he doesn't miss many tackles or not is a complete waste, becaue it is the gaps he leaves and his reading of the game that puts him way behind bang average players whom he is up against.
This rubbish line trotted out all the time on only this board, no other clubs are dumb enough to fall for it, that he is paid low and comes in and does his job, is exactly why we hit the sort of form we hit regularly now. This line is not acceptable for a top six club, let alone a top four club. You could pay Walters in protein bars, it would still be a waste of something.
