Cody Walker expresses regret over disciplinary incident
South Sydney playmaker Cody Walker has expressed deep regret over a disciplinary incident involving a kick directed at Penrith rival Jack Cogger. Walker, who accepted a one-match ban for the act, described the moment as a “line-in-the-sand moment” that impacted his family and teammates.
The incident reportedly caused the club to pause contract negotiations regarding Walker's future with the team. To address his composure, the 36-year-old has begun weekly meetings with the club’s head of wellbeing, Ian Reeves, to develop a plan for managing on-field provocations.
South Sydney is currently positioned to secure a finals berth with a victory over the Gold Coast this Saturday.
