Rabbitohs star Cody Walker will miss the All Stars clash and is in doubt for the NRL season opener against Manly in Las Vegas after succumbing to a calf injury. The five-eighth was set to captain the Indigenous side on February 16 in Townsville, but will not make the trip or join the camp. Head coach Ronnie Griffiths confirmed the news on Saturday and claimed the South Sydney playmaker was disappointed by the setback. "I spoke to him before I boarded a flight from Brisbane, he told me he did his calf and was out," he told. "It's a massive blow for us and a massive blow for Cody because he's a player who makes himself available every year. "He loves the game and that passion and leadership exudes out of him when he plays." Walker's absence will see Cronulla duo Nicho Hynes and Braydon Trindall line up in the halves on Friday night, with a new captain yet to be confirmed.
