Trent Robinson hints at Sam Walker's possible finals return after Roosters loss

Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson provided a cryptic update regarding the potential return of halfback Sam Walker following his team's 19-12 defeat against the Penrith Panthers. The loss denies the Roosters a week off as they now face a daunting task of winning three consecutive matches to secure the NRL premiership. Robinson's comments suggest Walker is recovering from recent surgery, raising hopes for a miracle comeback. Meanwhile, Robinson is uncertain about the availability of second-rower Angus Crichton, who is also recovering from injury.
