gutted for the bloke, hate seeing things like that but im 100% convinced he will be back playing super league. remember the guy from cas who did the same, was it price the winger? he came back and iv had a mate do the same and come back, granted not super league but still played again.
Best of luck to him. He has a few things in his favour. 1. the injury was quite high up and is hopefully a break of the shin bone without damage to the ankle, 2. He didn't seem to have too much blood on his sock so hopefully left all the major blood vessels intact (massive for the healing of the break), 3. he's a trooper as he must have been in huge discomfort but didn't even wince.
I really hope he comes back quickly and that Rovers do him proud in their next match as they did tonight. The scoreline doesn't show the endeavour, guts and steel of the KR players tonight.

With only one year left on his contract and much of that possibly now spent in recuperation one wonders where he and the club go from here.
Good luck to the bloke and well done the Leeds fans for joining in the 'only one Chev Walker' singing.
To their utmost credit, they started it, I don't think anyone on the Western Terrace could really see what had happened or how bad it was.
Get well soon Chevron, and make sure you get back to top class RL.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Hope Chev is ok, as a Southstander it was horrendus to see so close up, the reaction of Senior and Hall showed just how serious it was, and that seemed to filter through to the crowd. Great to see both sets of players almost form a guard of honour and applaud him, from where we were you could see the ambulance arrive only 4-5 mins after it happened so that is obviously going to help him by gettin him the medical care early.
Fantastic from both sets of fans, reminds everyone why this game is so great.
Terrible injury for Chev, hope it isn't a career ender; reminds everyone why this game is so cruel.
