He lacks pace, attitude, ability. Definite no no for me.
So a bit like David Vaeliki then!
No comparison between Vaeliki and Walker when it comes to ability.
Vaeliki wasnt named the worlds best centre for nothing, he lacks attitude.
Walker just lacks the lot, and could come nowhere near being named the worlds best centre, even at yawnion.

I would have walker over DV maybe the injury he suffered before he came to us stopped us from seeing what he was capable of :blush: and we may see him soon like next week after the cap result or maybe sooner :roll:

As I said, Vaeliki lacks attitude. He suffered a bad injury before coming to Wigan.
Some of his ability has been witnessed this season for Wigan. It will be interesting to see what your comments would be about Walker, if we sign him, and he gets settled in. If he is that good, why has he not stayed at Bath RU.

Probably, because it was a totally different sport. Something Chris Ashton will do well to remember.

Come on buddy, "a toatally different sport", you are having a laugh.
There is something seriously wrong if Walker could not make a go of it in Union after playing for Leeds Rhinos, especially if he is as quick, fit and strong as what has been indicated he is.

Favouritism has nothing to do with it then? So why does Goulding not get more game time - for the same reason Chev Walker (may or maynot), have made an impact in RU

Where has the favouritism bit come from, has that been stated or commented at Bath RFU. If he was as good as you say he is, he would have been a world beater at Yawnion.
Me personally, I dont rate him.
