Robinson says he is surprised by how quickly halfback Walker has returned from surgery and is now ready to play. The Roosters are set to face the Dolphins in Brisbane on Friday, where Walker is expected to reclaim his place in the Roosters’ starting line-up.

All outlets report that Walker’s return is timely and that he is “fit and ready to go,” with Robinson commenting on the pace of his recovery. The coverage focuses on the Roosters’ team selection for the grand final qualifier, rather than on any further medical details or changes to the broader match plan.

While each source highlights Robinson’s surprise at Walker’s recovery speed and confirms Walker’s expected inclusion against the Dolphins, they do not present differing outcomes or conflicting information about his availability. The emphasis is consistent across reports: Walker returns from surgery quickly enough to be considered available for the Friday qualifier.
