Sam Walker seeks new contract with Sydney Roosters

Premiership-winning halfback Sam Walker aims to secure a new contract with the Sydney Roosters before entering free agency in November. While Walker has expressed a clear intention to stay with the club, negotiations have faced challenges, including a reported $1 million gap between the player’s asking price and the club’s previous four-year offer.

Walker, who recently made his State of Origin debut and secured a premiership ring, remains a high-demand player. Despite potential interest from teams like the PNG Chiefs, Walker stated his goal is to finalize an agreement before the open market period begins on November 1 to allow him to focus on his football performance.
