Roosters confident in securing Sam Walker with record contract deal

Sydney Roosters chairman Nick Politis expressed optimism about re-signing Sam Walker before he enters open agency in November. Walker could achieve the franchise's highest contract, potentially earning $1.5 million per season. He aims to lead the Roosters to a championship, with a Grand Final matchup against the Newcastle Knights upcoming. Should Walker agree to an extension, the deal could tie him to the club until 2031. Politis highlighted Walker's quick recovery from injury and his desire to stay at the club as key factors in contract negotiations.
