Andrew Walker a risk but the Reds can’t do any worse

DAILY SERVE: Weds 28/2

It seems rather hypocritical that Eddie Jones has to ‘defend’ the impending signing of Andrew Walker, while those same media organizations are happy to report that fellow drugs transgressor Wendell Sailor is being pursued by several NRL clubs.

Walker has a history. That we know. He has done his penance. That reparation ending last year. Since then, Walker has spent his time grinding it out for French second division team Gaillic. That tells us two things: Firstly, he’s got some semblance of match fitness and touch. Secondly, he won’t cost all that much. The Reds have been panned in recent times for being a hopelessly deficient attacking unit. Coach Eddie Jones has found a potential fix. If it works he’s is a genius, if it bombs then the Reds aren’t any worse off.

That ain’t possible.
