Oh and do you honestly think the chooks are concerned about their reputation in this instance? Perhaps a few folk on here should advise them of supply/demand factors and that the cap is increasing as well because they're probably unaware lol.
The Walker call that sparked fuming Roosters’ backflip... and why he could leave NOW
Max Laughton and Fox League from Fox Sports October 27th, 2026 7:32 am
The Sydney Roosters have withdrawn their contract offer for Sam Walker beyond 2027.
The 24-year-old had reportedly been keen to restart talks with the NRL premiers after they were paused in August due to a disagreement on his price tag.
According to Code Sports, the gun halfback informed his management that he wanted to remain at the Roosters, requesting a contract be finalised last week prior to his Test debut.
His team met with Tricolours officials on Monday, who were confident Walker’s camp had agreed to their fresh offer — a three-year deal worth $1.2 million per-season, with ratchet clauses that could inflate his salary to $1.4 million.
After mulling over the contract tabled, Walker’s agent reportedly requested a “slight upgrade” according to News Corp, angering supremo Nick Politis.
Politis then made the decision to withdraw the Roosters’ offer immediately.
The Tricolours reportedly also won’t stand in Walker’s way should he wish to depart ahead of the 2027 season, but the club will honour his current deal which runs until the of next year.
In a statement on Monday night, the Roosters confirmed they had withdrawn their contract offer.

Politis is reportedly upset Walker is set to leave the Tricolours club, having previously believed the Queensland and Australian halfback would be a one-club player.
Walker is now set to hit the open market, with the PNG Chiefs shaping as a potential landing spot, armed with a tax-free war chest to poach big-name players.
The Chiefs are on the hunt for a halfback, with Walker, Nathan Cleary and Zane Harrison reportedly headlining their No.7 wish list.
Good on the Rorters here - and I wonder who his manager is?
Schifcofske is his manager. I don't know how the bloke keeps getting clients after he blew up Lomax's career for 2 years.
That was me being facetious Super, Schifcofske stuffed Lomax. I reckon Easts could ban him too as per Moses. It seems from the outside that greed has taken over...
Imagine your client is currently wearing No. 7 for Australia (sure, behind Cleary and Moses) and you decide now is the time to piss his club off enough that they withdraw their offer.

Not just any club, piss of Uncle Nick who guarantees players are setup for well beyond their playing careers, and could equally do the opposite and block a lot of contacts.
Walker was on a stunningly easy wicket at the Roosters who have literally managed his career perfectly to this point and stack players around him who make him look the best he'll ever look.
To have your agent screw that up is...wow.
Jesus, talk about overplaying your hand. He thinks he's smarter than he is.
Wiz, I agree with your first paragraph and it is impressive.
Your second is simply answered.....why does a dog lick his dick?....simple because he can!
I thought it was because no one else is gonna do it
I actually think the Raiders publicly withdrawing their offer for Hudson Young is a favour for him and it would have been carefully negotiated.
PNG can't sign players for unders despite their enormous tax incentives, but if there are no other credible offers on the table then it's an easier path for Young to accept "the only offer" he has which will no doubt be less than Canberra was offering (but will end up with WAY more in his pocket thanks to the tax concessions).
Canberra removing their offer is a huge win for Young and they would know it. It was written in the press statement as a punishment ("we have done all we can"), when in reality it was actually a reward.
