Not alot of players are actually that quick over the first 30m, that's why the impending loss of Chris Ashton is such a shame.Panchitta Marra posted:

Re: Chev Walker.....
and the gain of rob burrow would be amazing. off the mark, calderwood isnt fast, it's over a distance. walker is quick. he didn't set up or score so many tries by crawling to the line.

Most good halves have pace over the first 30 mtrs, if not they have got their training all wrong.butt monkey posted:Not alot of players are actually that quick over the first 30m, that's why the impending loss of Chris Ashton is such a shame.Panchitta Marra posted:

My comment is to say that Walker lacks pace.

Re: Chev Walker.....
I would be happy for us to give walker a chance rather than DV another contract. As long as he was offered a sensible contract and he played on the same side as Calderwood; I think that it would be a decent signing (although we have yet to resign Calderwood) If there was any fair play; DV would play for the club for another year for free!
I would hope that next season will see Bailey move to second row to replace Fletcher and Goulding get a starting spot. It's only by letting him play week in week out we can see if he is good enough; a few substitute appearances and not representative of how he will perform over the course of a full season

Walker is possibly faster than Bailey, but then again Bailey is a second row.jinkin jimmy posted:Not compared to Baily and DV, surely?Panchitta Marra posted:Most good halves have pace over the first 30 mtrs, if not they have got their training all wrong.butt monkey posted: Not alot of players are actually that quick over the first 30m, that's why the impending loss of Chris Ashton is such a shame.

I would put my money on DV beating Walker in a footrace over the full pitch length though.

Re: Chev Walker.....
A big problem with any player coming from, or returning from union is their big lack of fitness. Union is a similar game, but with different techniques, he will not be used to back tracking 10 metres after every ackle in defence, or the ball to hand running time with his time spent at Bath. It will take at least one month of solid fitness training alone to get back to a level any where near that required in Superleague.lucky 13 posted:
would add some size and pace which would be much needed either for a top six finish or more realistically to keep safe this year

Re: Chev Walker.....
And the rest I suspect. My man at the Whinoes who keeps up to date with ex Leeds players says the reason he has not featured strongly for Bath is the fact that he has had an annus horribilis with one injury after another, must make him a shoo in for Wigan.Panchitta Marra posted:

On that very point it is time the conditioning team got a bonus as this year for the first in living memory we have been able to field the same team week in week out.
