Recalled NSW playmaker Cody Walker is determined to ensure his return to the Blues line-up won't be a one-off occasion after watching the past two Origin series in his loungeroom.
"I try not to reflect on things that happened in the past because you get comfortable and not worry about what's at stake and what's in front of you.
Many believe Walker is back in career-best form with Fittler indicating the Rabbitohs veteran was close to playing in Origin I before Jarome Luai did enough to reclaim the Blues five-eighth role over him. “There would be different times when I'd lose my sh*t, as people would say, but this year I really focused on what I need to do to get out of the headspace or what my team needs in that particular time.
