\u201cYeah, definitely. He\u2019s a Souths junior, played the majority of his childhood career at Mascot,\u201d Walker said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure everyone at the club is doing everything they can to keep him here. We as a playing group want to keep him, he\u2019s done a fantastic job for us over the years, probably been in the top three or four players at our club last season.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tszyu was an observer as the Rabbitohs trained at their Heffron Park headquarters on Wednesday. In what might have been a pointer to how coach Wayne Bennett will utilise his backline, Latrell Mitchell trained at left centre, while Jye Gray \u2013 who recently knocked back an approach from R360 to remain a Rabbitoh \u2013 spent the session at fullback.<\/p>\n
Another intriguing selection question is who will be Walker\u2019s halves partner. Jayden Sullivan, Jamie Humphreys, Ashton Ward, Latrell Siegwalt and Jonah Glover are all jockeying for the No.7 jersey.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a few different players that could stand up over the pre-season,\u201d Walker said. \u201cI\u2019m sure we\u2019ll work that out when trials come in and we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tszyu is looking to resurrect his career after suffering three losses in his past four fights. The former World Boxing Organisation super-welterweight champion said he never considered retirement.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I knew what I wanted,\u201d Tszyu said after being presented with a Rabbitohs jersey with his name on the back. \u201cI\u2019m in a good position in my career, and this is like the 2.0 [version] incoming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tszyu has appointed a new support team for his comeback, although trainer Pedro Diaz isn\u2019t scheduled to arrive in Sydney until fight eve.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very grateful for everyone I\u2019ve met in the last couple of months and that have gotten me to this position,\u201d Tszyu said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now I\u2019m bulletproof, and the only thing on my mind right now is victory.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cYeah, definitely.
