Surprisingly the Blues playmaker was seen up-and-about shaking hands shortly after full-time, leading many to assume that the collision looked worse than it was.<\/p>\n
However, speaking exclusively to Wide World of Sports, Walker revealed that wasn't the case as he detailed a worrying 12 hours in which his only concern was his family.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"I can't really remember what happened in Game Three with the head knock," Walker told Wide World of Sports. "I think I tackled Cherry-Evans and I think I might of caught Gussy's (Angus Crichton) hip. It was a really awkward type of tackle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
"I can't really remember too much after the game and in the sheds. I've seen footage of me walking around shaking hands and I can't remember any of that.<\/p>\n
"I remember coming to on the plane home, and I sort of caught myself. I sort of just had a moment where I remembered where I was and what I was doing. It was quite scary. When I got back to the hotel I didn't sleep. We got back at about 3am and I stayed up the rest of the night.<\/p>\n
"The biggest thing I was worried about was my kids because they didn't come to Brisbane, I was worried about my missus. I spoke to her after the game and don't remember any of that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"When I got home I sat the kids down before they woke up. They hadn't watched the game, they were asleep by the time I'd been knocked out. I woke them up and then showed them the vision of me getting knocked out so when they got to school they knew what was happening. That's all I was pretty much worried about.<\/p>\n
"The next day I had all my head assessments, and everything was cleared and everything was back to normal which is great."<\/p>\n
At the time of Walker's head knock, NSW had already lost their captain and star fullback James Tedesco in a similar incident.<\/p>\n
Teammate Damien Cook was seen rushing in to check on Walker who was left face down and motionless, even holding his hand in the scary scene.<\/p>\n

It was a worrying sign that Walker wasn't able to walk off the field, and after the game coach Brad Fittler gave an update to media.<\/p>\n
"Cody is on the phone to his wife at the moment, so that's a good sign," Fittler said in his post-match press conference.<\/p>\n
"He's a bit vague on a lot of the game at the moment. It'll be monitored over the next day or so, but it was a heavy knock."<\/p>\n
Walker's partner Nellie also shared a post on the Blues star's Instagram story shortly after the incident.<\/p>\n
