I don't know what to make of that really. It looks like a gamble but maybe one we've got no choice in taking

He looks decent on the youtube clips. I just hope the club have scouted him more thoroughly than that though. They simply have to get this one right.

The club could do with announcing this pretty soon. They need the PR of it.

Rab's has just said that Walsh will be joining you on Ch9 commentary of the Roosters v Panthers game.

If he does arrive next season and he plays to his strength then we might be scoring more tries from kicks rather than ball in hand, not sure if that is a good thing.
Slight concern that a few reports mentions that he doesn,t take on the line so much lets hope he gets more opportunity in this magnificent superleague.

I have just watched the panthers v roosters game and he seems like he will be a good solid signing for us. He lets the forwards do the work in his own half but then gets the ball on near enough every play in the opposition half.

His kicking game seems very good especially close to the opposition line. He loves a bomb and often finds the floor with more reserved kicks.

The only gripe with him is that today he didn't get tackled once and he just doesn't take the line on at all. However the commentary mentioned he took the line on quite a lot last week. Andrew johns in particular was extremely frustrated with his lack of taking the line on today.

I think he will be a good signing he is very similar to Dobson bar running with the ball and he seems like he is just what we need to organise and control our play.

In an interview last season Lomax stated that he would like Hohaia to take on the line more. So if Hohaia is due to partner this guy Walsh - assuming the rumours of us signing him are true - it might be that we could end up with two halves who don't take on the line.

We need a stand off and a scrumhalf if we being totally honest. We defo need a organising halve first tho, that's the priority IMO.

He set up Penrith's only try against the Roosters today, from a bomb.

I totally forgot about the match this morning, and so far as I can see it isn't repeated, which is a bummer as I could have seen our possible prospective seven for myself.

If this guy doesn't take on the line but kicks well and has good core skills and doesn't shirk his defensive duties then I'm fine with him coming over for a couple of years so long as we take care to choose the right six to accompany him, and offer opportunities to our young halves so that we can prepare properly for the future (as opposed to just dropping our youngsters in it when the first teamers are injured).

PREMIER SPORTS..... on player on demand anytime of the day you want to watch it......

What is this on demand?

At least he is a scrum half not a player who has always fancied having a go in the role. Good news this and a decent age as well

We've signed him to play fullback tho

I thought it was secondrow , I hear we have a shortage of them ..

Browns replacement might move him to the backrow

Looks like Hull have secured their man (Miller) to come over immediately.

Shame we couldn't have sorted something out for the now.

Mark my words Miller is the better of the two on offer.

After Walsh's great game against the eels (wonder if he was negotiating with Saints at the time)
he is back to his norm.

The following comments from Mark Geyer and Joey Johns.

=#FF0000
"I believe he's been let go, he will play for [UK Super League club St. Helens next year," says Triple M's Matty Johns.

The rumours of Walsh heading overseas have been around for a while with Triple M's The Mole tweeting before he took to the field against the Roosters.

The Panthers halfback's form has been up and down all year.

"When he played well last week [against the Eels, I said he won't play well this week," said Matty.

Mark Geyer was unimpressed with his stats from the Roosters game with Walsh having no hit ups and no metres gained.

"That's not good enough," Mark Geyer exclaimed on reading the game's stats.

Miller as done absolutely nothing in the NRL. Just because his played state of origin u20's and for the Junior Kangaroos it means nothing!

No hit ups and no metres gained. That's encouraging! Should fit in to Saints perfectly.

Sounds like our kinda of player.

We can just kick all game, he's good at that I hear.

Perry and LaFrank have played SOO, Thompson has played two games.

Who do want in a Saints shirt next season?

Sometimes less is more.

Walsh - A scrum half who won't/can't run and is a one trick pony.

There is enough analysis from well respected figures in OZ Brandy Alexander , Mark Geyer , and Joey Johns
to suggest Walsh is a bit of a dud. We have outbid hull , so he won't be coming cheap. Hence an expensive dud.

It's Lance all over again. Forget utility Lance was recruited to fill a gap at half back.

Ooh Panic must get a scrum half , an NRL scrum half , ta dah !

History is repeating itself.

Sign of the strength of the NRL I suppose.
English clubs will be picking up players who are no longer required (Walsh), or unproven young players (Miller).
And probably paying over the odds as well.
Shows up the lack of number 7's around.
