Sydney Roosters halfback Sam Walker had a remarkable turnaround in his season, going from fearing it was over to now dreaming of premiership glory.
According to a report by roosters.com.au titled "How Walker Overcame Season Ending Diagnosis to Become Finals Hero," Walker's journey has been nothing short of inspiring.
After being dropped from the team following a Round 7 clash with the Sharks, Walker found himself at a low point in his career.
However, he made a triumphant return to PointsBet Stadium, where his career had hit rock bottom, and led the injury-hit Roosters to a thrilling 13-12 victory in the elimination final.
This match-winning performance came in just his third NRL appearance since being recalled.
Walker's road to redemption was not without its challenges, as he had previously suffered a partially torn ACL while playing in the NSW Cup.
This injury initially seemed to spell the end of his season, with doctors advising him to undergo surgery.
However, Walker defied the odds and made a remarkable recovery, proving his resilience and determination.
Now, with the taste of victory and the possibility of premiership glory within reach, Walker's comeback story is one that has captured the attention of rugby league fans and pundits alike.
