The Roosters are feeling a bit on edge as the Broncos are reportedly eyeing off star halfback Sam Walker, who is set to hit the open market soon.
It's said that the Broncos are keen on making a big play to lure Walker to their squad once he becomes a free agent on November 1.
The Roosters are eager to keep Walker on board and are working hard to secure his signature before he becomes available to other teams.
However, with ties to the Broncos through his family history - with his dad and uncles having played for Brisbane - there's a chance that Walker could be tempted to return to his roots.
Having spent time at the Broncos as a young player before heading to the Roosters, Walker might consider a move back to Brisbane, especially with veteran halfback Adam Reynolds set to hang up his boots at the end of next season.
The Roosters will need to act fast to secure Walker's future at the club before he potentially makes a move elsewhere.
It's a high-stakes game of rugby league negotiations that could see the Broncos snagging a million-dollar playmaker in Walker.
