Sydney Roosters withdraw contract extension offer to Sam Walker

The Sydney Roosters confirmed on October 26, 2026, that they have withdrawn their contract extension offer to halfback Sam Walker. After months of negotiations, the club had tabled a club-record contract worth up to $1.5 million annually. However, the parties were unable to agree on terms, leaving Walker's future in limbo as he enters the final year of his current deal in 2027. This development follows Walker's recent Test debut for the Kangaroos and comes ahead of rival clubs being able to negotiate with him starting November 1.
