Sam Walker set to enter open market ahead of November 1

Sydney Roosters halfback Sam Walker is preparing to hit the open market on November 1 after the club withdrew their contract offer. Walker's management had reportedly made new demands after negotiations were nearly settled, straining the relationship with the Roosters. He may be unlikely to secure a move for 2027 due to tight salary caps across clubs. However, Walker is anticipated to be elsewhere for the 2028 season, sparking interest from multiple teams. The Canterbury Bulldogs are named as one potential landing spot but face salary cap challenges.
