Shannon Walker is training for a contract with us. Thoughts?

forgot about that guy... Fullback right? I think he was one of those players that killed at u-20 but never made it past there

[TitanSam]

OMG Shannon Walker + James Roberts in the nines :O

Has he learnt to tackle? Welcome back Shazza, now harden-up.

This is the best feel-good story I've read for ages (and I know it doesn't belong in this thread but you shouldn't miss it).

Shannon, the fastest best stepper I have ever seen on footy field. He's a shadow of his former self now and won't get a contract.

Hey Teke. How do you mean "Shadow of his former self "? How do you think he will do? Do you think that he will just play for Tweed and be a " just in case " signing for Tweed ?

[Hail Sezer]

Been holding my tongue on the Walker deal for a little while now.

Teke knows his ability better than most. Will be interesting, we have a tonne of young outside backs with plenty of potential so he's got his work cut out for a contract

from what i seen of him since he has been playing 7s, he has added on some muscle(slowed down due to this) and is lazy. I loved him years ago but not sure now. He looked like he took pity on the defenders in 7's and didnt want to take them on. Wish they gave him more of a chance in 1st grade instead of coming off the bench/one of two games here and there. Love his try in the QRL gf all those years back.

I don't think Tweed will want him.

Nicest most laid back dude you'd ever meet which was half his problem not cementing the FB spot all those yrs ago.

Does he have a bit of an ego at all teke? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vav63Vl-t8 Seems like he doesn't know how to just put the ball down.

Noway, like I said he's laid back.

I've seen footage of him as a 14 yr old carving men up lol

[JunctionBlock]

He'll be good for the nines that's about it. Hopefully can do some training with the team before the event unlike last year.

[5 Year Contract]

Shannon Walker! Had huge potential and speed to burn back in the day but had some poor appearances under the high ball at fullback. It's something I guess. Not holding out much hope for any decent signings for next year as others have said we are still getting our club and facilities into order and cant be the most attractive option. I can be patient though we at least seem to be slowly moving in the right direction....better days ahead.....few more contracts to get off the books yet coughZiLLMANcough

"It is understood Barnett is attempting to get out of the written agreement he made with the Raiders so he can sign a more lucrative deal with the Gold Coast Titans."

Mitch runs a good line on the left edge and is a fiery player who doesn't take a backward step. Plays hard.

I wouldn't mind this at all, to be honest. We need some aggression desperately. Was NSW Cup player of the year.

It would appear Barnetts contract was found. End of that speculation.

[TitanSam]

I have a feeling we'll announce a signing in the next few days

Instead of getting Shannon Walker back we should try and poach back Joseph Tomane, who is now in line to make the wallabies side
Edit:
Has already made 17 appearances for the wallabies at wing and centre
