Walker was a ballboy for the Ipswich Jets when he used to watch Cody running around for Easts Tigers in the Queensland Cup. “I’m not too sure what’s happened there, I try to stay out of most of it,” Walker told this masthead when asked about being a target for Cody.“The last time we played, he didn’t hurt me with the push, we got the penalty out of it, and it also gave me a bit of a breather. It’s footy. That kind of stuff happens.
He was busy in the first half against Wests Tigers, running the ball, scoring a try, kicking early in the tackle count and surviving a concussion scare when going low on Isaiah Papali’i.The Roosters welcome back skipper James Tedesco, but lose prop“Losing Jared is massive, and come Friday we will miss that leadership and aggression and fear factor he possesses,” Walker said.
