Maybe we did. Let's not forget that this is just Walker's side of the story we're hearing at the moment. I think we heard from Myler at the time talking about it being a difficult and hard decision to make. And wasn't his agent talking months before hand about not expecting him to be at FC in 2025? If I was to hazard a guess, we probably told Walker and his agent months ago that he was free to find another club (probably the same with Morgan Smith and Liam Tindall) and when no offers presented themselves, Myler's then had to take the decision to pay off their contracts.

Someone also mentioned that they are surprised that no Championship club has come in for him, but Walker himself says he's confident he can play Super League so perhaps he's been holding out for a contract offer from one of the other clubs and will have to adjust his sights going forward.

I do have sympathy for his situation. It's harsh. But I have to echo what a lot of others are saying in that I fell that it's the right decision for the club and one that the club wouldn't have taken previously.

Sorry won't let me edit my post. He also made 170 meters, 3 line breaks and 3 try assist (although first one was very lucky). Shows good running and passing game in these highlights  https://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2025/03/08/the-knock-on-effect-nsw-cup-highlights--round-one---magpies-v-knights/ Hard to know the standard. Joe Lovodua played hooker against him.

This is how I see it, people seem to be just putting a name out there. One thing that looks certain now the ridiculous Brown deal has been confirmed this morning is that Pryce will be on the move end of the season. I think he’ll have a few interested over here and depends on how much he’s enjoying it over there might get a similar gig in Aus as a squad player. If he wants to move now that would give us a little bit of an advantage if we are actually interested. 

Wasn't totally sold by Pryce during his time at Huddersfield and was quite surprised he got an NRL deal, however its easy to forget he's still only 22 years old.

Certainly a talent and isn't much better around who don't count to quota.

The Brown deal is bonkers, he is good, but he will be highest paid player in SL and ne where near that, 4 better players at the storm than him for a start.

Think this thread has now reached the end based on its title so will lock it. For new signings and possible options for 2026 I've created a new topic.
