Melbourne spend $1.4m on teen

[In-Cyde #1]

What worries me is where are we heading.
Can the game afford to pay $1m for an 18 yo ?
How many more kids out there, are as good as Ingles?
Is this a new 'benchmark' for player payments ?
At some point a players' worth must be questioned.

The entire reason that people are dumping league for union is money. At least if this trend continues there won't be a Berrick Barnes again.

Its not like its $1mill per year.
Take a 4 year contract at $250k per year there is a $1mill contract!

yeah...and as bellamy said if they didnt do it someone else would have.

[Dakink]

I think he is or will be worth every cent they pay him.

Will they pair him with Ryan Shortland during Origin?

If king gets picked for origin and there is a spare spot then walker will most likeyl take over i think. I want shortland to replace king but walker could get the nod ahead of him.

Say it isnt so!! Bellamy isnt that short of choices is he!!!

Give the young fella a go.. Walker must surely be a last ditch option or only used for pure finishing, he did OK at the Broncos when he was told to stay on his wing.

actually we still have steve turner aswell. Who had masive wraps on him untill he got injured and was unable to show us his best...if i were the coach i would pick turner with shortland if slater and king get picked. But i fear bellamy will pick walker....

and dakink...im afraid its a real possibility....but if he does get picked we can always boo the crap out of him

That would be good to see - Olympic Park resounding with boos English soccer style everytime Walker touches the ball.

[..::Coops::..]

anyone but walker!!! i'd love to be at a game where everytime he touched the ball he got booed !

They've already done that at Parra- after Barrett's cheap shot on Marsh late this year. They gave him hell.
