Walker may still be injured. Has there been an update?
I can see Visser being selected this week. Whether it's Morris, Swiel or Walker at fullback, we have a range of options. Walker at fullback wouldn't overly worry me - he'd be an incredible strike runner to return kicks, and his defence seems to have improved of late.

I think it is best to work with combinations who have played together - so, I would play Visser on wing and Swiel at FB.
The big pro for this is that you can just yell "Go Tim!" at the TV whenever one of them gets the ball.

Apart from failing to stop their smallest player for the first try on Saturday and injuring himself in the process.........
He's still only picked for his attack in spite of his poor defence. I'd rather Swiel at 15.

That's selective. Still, at least we won't have a fullback who was stepped by a prop.

To suggest it was selective would be to say Charlie's defence is normally excellent. It isn't.

Because of course I said it was excellent... in no post whatsoever. I did however say it was greatly improved, although the fact that he missed a tackle seems to be rather damning in your eyes. Maybe he should retire?
But what about Mike Brown not tackling a prop, eh? Best offload him and get someone who never misses a tackle. Such as... erm... let me think... such as, no player who ever played the game?

Stop being ridiculous slinky. Charlie's a poor defender, this much is obvious.

So you disagree that his defending has improved? On the basis of a missed tackle? Meanwhile you point out that two players managed to skip their way past Brown, but his defence is unquestionable...
FWIW I think Brown is one of the best defenders around. Missing the odd tackle is no massive sin, unless it's Walker who misses it, apparently.

You could start an argument in an empty room. Nobody is basing their analysis of Walker's defence on one missed tackle.
There are so many straw men in your post it's like a cornfield.

You're right, over the past 3 or 4 years we have used medical jokers when it's either that or fail to put a side for a match.
Let me try and break down your response and show you where you are using false premise to make your argument.
So you disagree that his defending has improved? Nobody did. We said his defence is poor, that doesn't mean we don't think it has improved.
Meanwhile you point out that two players managed to skip their way past Brown, but his defence is unquestionable...
Well, that's just a contradiction.
Missing the odd tackle is no massive sin, unless it's Walker who misses it, apparently. Again, nobody said it was a massive sin to miss a tackle, and nobody said that it was only a massive sin if it was Walker.

It has improved. I'm not sure it's improved greatly. I'm not confident that he should be starting a game at full back, regardless.
