    SHANNON WALKER

    The force have to get this kid he is a cross breed between Rod Davies and Ugo Monye. As soon as the opposition line is broke which seems like it will be often next season Shannon flys onto the ball and theres a try for Perths finest. Hed be so cheap which makes me ask myself do we really need to spend alot of money and use our marquee signing on Grant when Mike Harris has a great kicking game which would allow Shannon and Cummins to put real pressure on teams allowing Bam to make a nice steal, also Harris and Genia already know each others game styles yet Genia didnt look his best when playing with Mike at the start of the year http://www.northernstar.com.au/story...not-ruled-out/ http://www.rugby.com.au/sevens/Teams...8/Default.aspx What do u guys think???

    He'd be a goer. We'd have to get in quick though.

    Is he looking for a super 15 club? Maybe he's keen to stay with the 7s, which I think is pretty much all year round innit?

    I heard Nalaga is pretty good at flying on to the ball and breaking through the line and scoring many tries.

    We already have him, so we should be sweet as, hey?

    Walker could probably play FB or centre as well as wing.

    Watched a lot of 7s this series (benefit of Fox..hard to see how I'll cancel my subscription now), and Shannon and an 18 year old Allan Faalavaau would be worth having a look at.

    In case you didn't already know Nalaga is going back to french club Clermont.

    the issue is his size, its why he never suceeded in the NRL and probably why he will struggle in the 15 man version of Rugby Union, id say the listed weight of 82kg would include him dripping wet with boots and all.

    He is an athlete perfectly suited to 7's rugby.

    could still play top level, but yeah probably on the wing or FB, 80kgs is a bit small for centre.

    Great, he can take over from Cameron Shepherd. (sorry, couldn't resist).

    Just wondering if we should reconsider signing Shannon Walker given our relaunch for 2013? They're still giving him big rap in the sevens!
