New Queensland halfback Sam Walker is one of the smallest players in the NRL, but his history reveals that he is also one of the most resilient.
Walker is 78kg wringing wet, but his durability to play through a grade-two AC joint injury in his debut season in 2021 proved he is far from wet behind the ears.
The injury usually keeps players out for at least four to six weeks, but 22 needles in 21 games got Walker through.
