Walker bailed on Brisbane assault charge
The Queensland Rugby League has confirmed that State of Origin player Chris Walker has been arrested and charged over an incident in a Brisbane street in the early hours of this morning.
The Roosters back spent the night in the Brisbane watch house after police officers said they had to use capsicum spray to subdue him during the fracas in the city's Fortitude Valley.
The 24-year-old has been charged with assaulting and obstructing police and being a public nuisance.
He has been bailed to appear in court later this month.
Walker was in Brisbane for a camp with the Origin squad, and will return to Sydney later today.
He joined the Roosters after a controversial mid-season flit from South Sydney last year.
A Broncos player between 1999 and 2002, he was recalled to the Maroons' Origin squad this year after previous representative appearances in 2001 and 2002.

No doubt the NRL with a heavy hand towards bringing the game into disrepute and their clear statements regarding the Club being responsible for a players behaviour will now come out and heavily fine the Roosters.
Any bets on what the Roosters punishment will be?
