Walker seems to be one of those players who coaches rate, but fans not so much. Maybe its because he's more of a nuts and bolts player with no flash stuff. Given the competition at hooker, getting into the World Cup squad was. no mean feat.
I've a lot of respect for Walker in that he's as brave as a lion, but for me Riley is the heir apparent. His handling and work in the loose is a level above and per MQ's comments, he doesn't look to be letting us down as set-piece time either. I did think at the start of the season, come the end, Riley would be first choice and reckon that'll be the case.
