Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3156360, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I][B]Wayne [/B]on [B]Cody Walker[/B]:[/I] “I tried to get him to the Broncos. I went pretty close to getting Cody. He was actually coming until Shane Richardson offered him more money. I met with him at a cafe for a chat and he was ready to come. The deal was almost done. It’s funny how it worked out. I’m now coaching him at Souths which I never expected.” “We could all see how talented he was, it was just getting all the other stuff together off the field that he struggled with. You meet some special players on your journey that have all the skills and Cody has all the skills ... the speed, the hands, the pass, the footwork and the instinctive nature of how he plays." “Cody has the magic of Indigenous genes. I love watching Indigenous athletes, they have been great boxers, AFL players, runners, rugby league and rugby union players. The thing that Cody Walker does and the thing Latrell Mitchell (Souths teammate) does, you know they have done it in the backyards of Casino and Taree. You know that’s what they have been brought up doing." “The challenge in Cody’s life has to play a leadership role but it is now coming together for him. He is growing. Some get there in a heartbeat, other guys have to work hard to achieve it and Cody has achieved that.” [I][B]Richardson:[/B][/I] The [B]attraction of going to Brisbane under Wayne was huge[/B]. Right until the last minute, I thought Cody would go to the Broncos, because [B]Wayne has a Svengali-type effect on people [/B]and I don’t, so I thought Wayne would get his man. Cody was considering going, but he chose to stay and it was a really good team effort to keep him. “Now Wayne is coaching him so in the end Wayne did get the player he wanted, just at the Rabbitohs.” McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
