Luckless Cody Walker couldn't catch a break as young gun, says former schoolmate Ryan James
Even as a schoolboy, Cody Walker was always a freak. But for some strange reason, it was like his God-given talent was invisible to those in charge of deciding who was going to make it big, and who wasnt. Wayne Bennett today recognises the 29-year-old NSW Origin rookie five-eighth as being as naturally talented as any player Bennett has ever coached. But while Walker was described by now Gold Coast captain Ryan James as the exact same player back in his schooldays, James added: I was always just scratching my head thinking, when is he going to get a go.
Camera IconPicture: News LimitedWe went to school together at Palm Beach Currumbin and we won the national competition in 2008. Ironically, Palm Beach beat Matraville Sports High that boasted Walkers now South Sydney teammate Adam Reynolds on the bench in that Arrive Alive Cup final. But while James and Walkers school halves partner Jordan Rankin went on to win Australian Schoolboys selection alongside the likes of Will Hopoate, Jamal Idris, Martin Taupau and Aaron Woods, Walker was overlooked. I dont know why, James said.
Camera IconSchoolboy teammate Ryan James cant understand why Walker was always overlooked.Picture: News Corp AustraliaBut it set Walker on a path where for years it looked as though he was never going to crack the big time. He had stints at Gold Coast, Penrith and Melbourne, while also winning the Queensland Cup player of the year along the way. But it wasnt until 2016, seven years after hed finished school, that Walker finally ran out for his NRL debut for South Sydney in round one, 2016. Walkers break arrived when Luke Keary was suspended for the season opener, before an injury to Reynolds gave the then 26-year-old enough time to show everyone that he really belonged.
Camera IconWalker has finally got the recognition his talent deserves.Picture: News Corp Australia, Phil HillyardJames has remained good mates with Walker throughout the journey, and still looks back and wonders why it took so long. I honestly dont know why, James said. He has been that talented a player since he was at school. He was the exact same player he is now. I was just thinking, someone give this kid a crack. And when he got that crack he just never took a backward step. He is the player who Souths rely on now, one of the best halves in the comp. I honestly couldnt be more proud of him. LISTEN! Matty, Kenty and Finchy dissect both Origin teams and a game looming as a classic, recount the best of Tommy Raudonikis and Matty recalls Mitchell Pearces sleepover at the Johns household. He grew up playing in the Northern Rivers comp with my older brother, Tim, and we have known each other for ages now. My mum actually rang to let me know that Cody had made the NSW team. Our whole family is proud of him. People say he is a lucky footballer but he creates his own luck. I dont know if it is instinct or not, but he is just always chasing the ball. You see someone like (Johnathan) Thurston, who the balls just seems to bounce his way, but it is not through lack of effort. It is through always making sure they are in the position to get it. I was excited when I saw Cody debut in the NRL so late in his career. But now to play Origin is something pretty special for someone who has done it so tough. He deserves to be there. https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/rugby-league/luckless-cody-walker-couldnt-catch-a-break-as-young-gun-says-former-schoolmate-ryan-james-ng-4a9472b465ebed599c69656e97f8e965

I figured out how to change my icon! But then I couldn’t decide what to make it, the answer like many things was in my lap! a sammich! But my inbuilt laptop camera kept going to sleep when I angled the screen so I just used this one as a placeholder until I figure something else out.

Man and woman assaulted with 'hammer' or 'metal bar' outside Allenby Gardens home
Camera IconPicture: News Corp Australia The Advertiser May 17, 2019 7:37AM Two men are wanted over an alleged attack against a man and a woman that left the couple with facial injuries in Adelaides western suburbs. The victims were treated for head lacerations and other face injuries at Queen Elizabeth Hospital about 9.30pm on Thursday. They believe they were assaulted with a hammer or metal bar. Police interviewed the 35-year-old man and 30-year-old woman, but the couple was reluctant to provide details about the incident, which occurred outside their East Ave home at Allenby Gardens. Of the two suspects, one is described as caucasian, 185cm tall with a slim build. He was wearing a light coloured top and grey trackpants, possibly carrying a hammer. The second male is possibly of Asian appearance, about 170cm tall with a stocky build. He was wearing dark clothing. Police say the incident is not considered random. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
