On Tuesday, Trent Robinson addressed the media, quickly dismissing speculation surrounding a potential 10-year contract for Sam Walker to remain at Bondi.
The Sydney Roosters have experienced a remarkable 2026 season, emerging as a dominant force in the top four after several years of merely settling into the top eight.
Sam Walker debuted in 2021 when he stepped in for Luke Keary, who was recovering from an ACL injury, and many outsiders questioned the Roosters' chances of reaching the finals that year.
Since his introduction, Walker has developed into the star everyone anticipated, showcasing his talent this season and earning a spot on the Queensland Maroons for the current Origin series after Tom Dearden's injury.
Presently, discussions are ongoing between the Roosters and Walker's management regarding extending his contract to keep him at the club.
After the 2023 season, Walker secured a three-year extension, set to conclude at the end of the 2024 season.
The three-time Ashton-Collier Spirit of ANZAC medal winner is now just three months shy of becoming a free agent on November 1, at which point other teams can enter negotiations with him.
Last week, News Corp reported that the Roosters plan to offer their star playmaker a lucrative deal worth $1.3 million per season, potentially making him the highest earner at the club.
