I’d been getting on the drink pretty heavy and my relationship was falling to bits. I signed with Melbourne, and it was the same thing down there. I didn’t curb my ways off the field, and that didn’t fit in with their culture. The disagreement between Craig Bellamy and myself was brought on by me being irresponsible off the field".

Walker said "Yes I had about 7-8 letters, I still don't why or who sent them, the worst one was when I received a letter from someone saying they were going to shoot me, I went to the game thinking I was going to die".

After leaving Souths mid-season, Walker joined the club's arch rivals the Sydney Roosters. Walker was a try-scorer in the Sydney Roosters' loss in the 2003 NRL Grand Final against Penrith.
