Cordner said while Crichton was now one of the leaders, Sam Walker, 19 on Wednesday, was every player’s “younger brother”, and one of the great shames about his premature exit from the game was being denied the chance to play alongside the No. 7.“Sammy Walker is such a good kid, he’s like a younger brother to all of us at the Roosters, and with him being such a respectful young kid, you have so much time for guys like that coming through,” Cordner said.
“It will be a challenge for us because of all the injuries, but you’ve seen everyone step up, and if we keep working hard and get to the finals, we’re a really big chance.”Cordner said the plan was to take some time out but he would remain around the team for the remainder of the season.
