In a surprising twist, seasoned halfback Adam Reynolds has made a bold declaration regarding young gun Sam Walker's contract situation at the Roosters, stirring up the rugby league world in the process.
Following Walker's stellar performance on Anzac Day, where he showcased his talents with a masterclass display against the Dragons, Reynolds believes that Brisbane, with their promising halves combination, have no need to pursue the talented No.7 from their rivals.
Walker's standout performance, where he orchestrated three tries and kicked a perfect 10 out of 10 goals in the Roosters' dominant 60-18 victory, solidified his reputation as one of the most in-demand young playmakers in the game.
With his current contract running until the end of next season, coinciding with the expiration of Reynolds' deal with the Broncos, speculation naturally arose about a potential shift for Walker to Queensland to succeed the veteran halfback.
However, after shutting down such rumors post-Anzac Day, Walker emphasized his commitment to the Roosters, expressing his love for the club and his sense of belonging in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.
Despite the ongoing chatter surrounding his future, the 21-year-old remains focused on his current team and their campaign ahead, highlighting his contentment with the status quo.
As the Roosters prepared to face off against Brisbane, Walker expressed his excitement about playing in front of a familiar crowd at Suncorp Stadium, a venue he frequented in his youth.
Despite the allure of returning home, Walker's dedication to his current club shines through, underscoring his intentions to continue making waves in the NRL with the Roosters by his side.
