I cant see Chev Walker returning after only 6ish months, more so when you consider he was playing regular until the season finished. one ex-leaguer that didnt play much was Karl Pryce. so if anyone was coming back to League my money would be on Pryce

This rumour could be true if we sign Brett Hodgson and that would mean we could not sign Matt King so we would have space under the cap to sign Chev Walker and a prop?

He's shown plenty of pace against us before

He was on the verge of full honours and would need to regain some respect so not known as a RU failure.

If we could get him in it would be a good thing, maybe we would get the best out of calders

I live near Worcester and was clearly bored one day and went to watch Worcester play bath last season. Chev Walker was on the bench and did not play any part in the game. Bath lost, their problem was their forwards not backs who looked more solid. Therefore maybe Walkers chances are limited and he may be looking for a move?
Before he left league, he looked like he was turning into a GB regular. He has pace and strength, however, he seemed to lack the experience to make the right decision, which often saw him making a hash of a scoring opportunity. With the right coaching he could be a strong acquisition and one significantly cheaper than others being discussed.
