NSW will be spoiled for choice when selecting their bench utility for this year's State of Origin series, and Warriors coach Andrew Webster believes Dylan Walker now deserves to be part of that conversation too.
While a recall to the Origin arena for the first time since his two appearances in 2016 would come as a huge surprise, Webster said Walker's ability to play several positions at an elite level means he is made for that environment.
The comments came after the 28-year-old played a starring role as a five-eighth in the Warriors' 22-14 win over the Cowboys on Saturday night in Auckland, scoring a try and making 22 tackles."He could be an Origin player, because you could put him on the bench, play him at hooker, play six if you got an injury, play lock if everything was going well, and he can run and carry the ball like a mad man and tackle.
