another idiot leaguie

CHRIS Walker is in danger of being lost to the Gold Coast, with the former Queensland Origin winger the latest NRL star to contemplate a move to rugby.

The Titans flyer faces a $300,000 sacrifice to remain at the club next season after fielding lucrative offers from Super League clubs Celtic Crusaders, Salford and Wakefield. But a series of conversations with dual internationals Wendell Sailor and Mat Rogers has ignited Walker's desire to become a success in the 15-a-side code.

The 29-year-old has links with rugby. His uncle, Paul Mills, played for Queensland and Walker was on the cusp of defecting in 2003 after meeting then Waratahs coach Bob Dwyer, before South Sydney lured him with a big-money deal.

As he prepares for tomorrow night's match with the Dragons, Walker said he would be happy to talk to any rugby province interested in him- including the Queensland Reds.
"My manager mentioned there was interest in England, but there is a third option I'm considering. I'm definitely looking at rugby,'' Walker said. "I'm not just saying that to try to get my market value up in league because the Titans have made their offer and they've made it clear they aren't moving on it.
"If they (Australian Rugby Union) offered me a contract, I'd definitely look at it. I have a keen interest in the game and there is some union blood in the family, with my uncle having played rugby for Queensland."

"If I have to leave, it would be disappointing because I've loved my time here at the Titans and they've done a lot for me off the field. But I'll accept any challenge with open arms.''

The Titans have shown enormous faith in Walker. Two years ago, the club financed his rehabilitation after a much-publicised battle with alcoholism and depression.

Gold Coast managing director Michael Searle is keen to retain Walker for 2010, but the club's one-year offer, worth about $120,000 a season, is dwarfed by the winger's earning potential in rugby and overseas. Walker is confident he would be a hit in the rival code, saying he could play top-level football for another five years.

You're not fooling anyone Chris. This is pure manager talk. You've spoken to no one and there's not a chance the ARU would touch you.

What a tool.

 

[disco]

Yeah the ARU are gonna sign another league winger who has been injured for the last two seasons & used to be the king of the NRL nightclub scandals.

What a catch sign him up now get 3rd party sponsors on board, ship Ioane overseas we've got Chris Walker.

 

[Pfitzy]

Its funny - I was watching the morning news around 8AM on TV. I saw Sunrise lead off with soccer at the top of the news, then go to regular murders and finance before returning to sport: rugby, AFL, league.

Flicked over to 9 who were still going: soccer, league, AFL, union

Then tonight, Seven are putting a top story as the Cronulla CEO smashing some bogan chick in the face :lmao: Its just two tribes going to war eh?

 

[cyclopath]

The ARU could sign him as JON's food-taster when he goes overseas, given his broad appeal in the rest of the rugby world. That would be about it.

What? Is this for real.

He must be a great team mate if Rogers is trying to get him to leave his club!

Would he even get a run???

Yeah was an incident a couple of weeks back I think - the girl (Cronulla Leagues employee I think) recorded the conversation where the guy basically denies it and says she hit her head on the wall, but it looks a proper shiner

She says "no I didn't hit the wall - you hit me"

CEO: "Do you want to spank me?"

:lmao:

Loved the 'reinactment' of the incident itself- obviously budget cuts meant the Sharks couldn't shell out for adequate lighting because for some reason it was really dim and eerie.

We may laugh at Walker, but look on the bright side- at least someone is considering playing for the Reds in 2010...

Yeah some of the context run by 7 news was completely sus - especially the snippets of recorded conversation interspersed with various conjecture - but still funny as heck.

It does seem a little fishy, I don't know the full story but were they having an affair or something?

 

[Pfitzy]

It didn't sound completely on the level - but the CEO stood down today.
