Tommy Walsh

As I said, heard he had signed on last week, glad to finally see the confirmation!

Is an interesting one, and very exciting for the club. They had him in mind when they swapped pick 16 which is interesting...good news I think!

I remember from his trials at Linen House Oval last year- He is VERY solid young man- was only 19 but big build- solid- unlike many of the Irish who appear wiry and fast,
.
he's had 12 months alons side Tadgh Kenelly so hopefully wlll have done a bit of kick to kick

Very exciting!

Especially the fact they expect him to play some matches alongside Roo and Kos this year - as stated in the Sun article!! He could be a revelation this year!

An exciting signing, he is a whirlwind player in Ireland and clearly they are disappointed in losing him...our gain.

Not sure, I was just reading that he claimed a spot at half back in what seemed to be the equivalent of their AA recently, but I think he has received honours elsewhere?

Drain said last night it was "very pleasing" to finally sign Walsh.

Not just 'pleasing' but "very pleasing"!

Well, well.

The club isn't settling for runners up in 2009.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Between Ball & Walsh, Saints officials have racked up a few frequent flyer miles

If he develops his kicking skills up to or close to Tadhg Kennelly's level then he'll be doing extremely well.

Hopefully not as bad as Essendon's Michael Quinn however.

I wonder how much of an impact he could possibly have in his first year...

194 cms, 99 fkng kgs, and agility like Stephen Hill apparently. If nothing else, this oirish lad's an immense athlete.

A lot depends on how well he settles here. A nice Aussie gal should help with the transition.

2010 will be a year of settling in and development, 2011 is when he will mark his arrival!!

His 10 goals in the 2010 grand final and a premiership medal will mark his arrival.

One vote right now to sponsor him

It will be interesting to see how quickly he adapts. Bring on the intrasquad.
