Walker confident Roosters can rise as they chase run to the finals

After a lengthy injury absence, Roosters player Sam Walker is back on the field and rediscovering his rhythm. He's especially enjoying the opportunity to develop a partnership with halfback Hugo Savala as the team strives for a spot in the finals.

Walker missed the initial part of the season due to recovery from an ACL injury. His return was further postponed when he suffered a broken thumb during a training session, just days after making a comeback in the New South Wales Cup.

Despite these setbacks, Walker remains optimistic, viewing these challenges positively as they ensured the strength of his knee is now better than ever.
