The South Sydney Rabbitohs have reportedly made a lowball offer of $300,000 to five-eighth Cody Walker for the 2027 season as negotiations continue. Walker, 36, aims to play on despite previous injury concerns. Rumors surrounding his potential re-signing have circulated for months, but the club's tight salary cap has pressured them to offer a significantly reduced salary. Walker's long-standing commitment to the Rabbitohs complicates his options, as he has played all 247 of his career matches for the team since debuting in 2016. The future remains uncertain as both parties navigate financial constraints and Walker’s desire to continue playing.
