Why is Walker kicking?

[Dr. Voodoo Man]

Other than the penalty goal from in front, he had one shot from the corner right sideline on his weak side, and you’ve come to a conclusion just from that? Things change in the off season. Clear Trent has confident in him. Baffled you’re making a statement like that after on kick from a sideline after 77 minutes.

Don't get me wrong. I love Sammy and think he is the future, just not confident at this point. Hope he proves me wrong.

[Mickie Lane]

I dont know why but I like it when the Roosters have a top centre who is the goal kicker.

Has everyone forgotten how bad Latrell was when he first started kicking? Because I haven't. He was terrible at first, probably worse than Walker. I have full confidence in Walker being able to work on his kicking.

Walker is a farking terrible goalkicker at this stage of his career. I can't understand why the job would go to someone who struggles to make the distance between the sideline and goalposts. I'm sure he will get better but that is not going to help now.

I would back any of the NRLW goal kickers in a kicking dual against Walker.- They kick better than a few of the Male players.

[kakaruk]

walker doesn't impress me as a first string goalkicker in fact i reckon were in trouble with goalkicking if he is the best we have

walker's a ball whisperer and he'll come good

Stop trolling man.

The Iceman should cometh.

We should punt him just for his ugly tatts.

[Vasco]

How about we focus on scoring more than one try with 3 minutes to go against a Spoon contender instead of worrying about who will kick goals

Barring major injuries I think the Knights are good things to make the top 8.

As for Momo kicking, I think his position in the team is vulnerable once Suaalii is fit. So better off sticking with the kid that Robbo has put his faith into.

Youre not wrong. Mitchell was 52% in his first year.. Walker 54%. Mitchell has subsequently gone to 73% (still pretty average, but an improvement)

The point a lot of people are making though is he shouldn't be kicking whilst there are better options.

Momirovski is at 75% (also from his first season)

Robbo seems to think that Walker is the right choice. I’ll back him.

If Walker can't kick goals from the sideline then Robbo is misguided.
Robbo seems to have lost the plot.
Keighran kicks goals from the sideline, and won us games last season doing so.
He should've been the first payer picked...left centre, right wing, 5/8, half back.
Gotta have an ace goalkicker to win NRL games.
Turbo v Walker...no contest.
Manly forwards v Walker...no contest.
Walker should be kept on ice to cover injuries and Origin...at this stage of his career.
He's already been concussed once this year.
Lucky his neck wasn't broken.
Or if he must be played, play him off the bench when the sting has gone out of the game.
Ditto Sitili.
We need to start games with big players who won't get run over.

[Johnny73]

Drew Hutchison should start then bring on Walker as a strike player.

Momo is a premiership winning player from 2021.
Suaalii only played a handful of NRL games and has been injured ever since.
He should be playing for the Bears until he's a 'gun'.
What Momo's best position is should be established and he then played in that position.
He should be kicking-tested at training.
Either he can kick goals or he can't.

Lolz finally something I can agree with the voodoo man on!
