In a move that will surely send shockwaves through the NRL, the Roosters' rising star, Sam Walker, has made a decisive decision about his future, squashing any rumors with a firm handshake.
The latest reports suggest that Walker has inked a lucrative contract worth $2.1 million over two years, securing his place in the illustrious $1 million-a-year club.
This news will undoubtedly sting for Broncos supporters who were holding out hope for their prodigal son to return to the nest.
Despite initial hesitation from the Roosters over Walker's asking price, it seems the talented 22-year-old is poised to continue donning the red, white, and blue jersey of Bondi.
With this new deal, Walker joins a prestigious group of NRL players earning upwards of $1 million a season, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Nathan Cleary, Daly Cherry-Evans, Mitchell Moses, and Nicho Hynes.
After a breakout season in 2024, speculation was rife that Walker could command a hefty price tag on the open market, but it appears his loyalty lies firmly with the Roosters.
As the dust settles on this contract saga, one thing is clear - Sam Walker is here to stay, ready to lead his team to glory and cement his place in Rugby League history.
And with a new car thrown into the mix, the future looks bright for this young gun from Bondi.
