‘Name his own price’: Roosters star tipped to hit open market as rivals line up to land $1.8m blow

NRL news 2024: Roosters halfback Sam Walker considering going to market, where could he land, transfer news

I'd throw everything at signing this guy.
I think Benny Hunt's time is at hand, especially if he's missing QLD.

Yep this guy's a real 7 .......

And we can have a running 5/8 outside him which is something that I thought Hunt would be in the halves - a runner.

Problem is Hunt won't like that , a young guy calling the shots .........

Hunt wouldn't be there if we signed this kid.

At the very least hopefully this makes the Roosters (or Broncos) pay proper money.. though a player like this would get all the TPA's, pub shared, cheap housing for family members etc..

I would love to see him go to market properly though... apparently Politis is flying up to visit his parents next week or something.

Absolute dream to get him. But lets face it, the cocks wont lose him

Come on everyone. Sam will sign with the Roosters at half his market value because he loves the club and wants to win a premiership. Wink, wink.

 

[Dragonslayer]

Wow, so happy we have Cake as our bargaining chip. Surely that seals the deal.

$1.5 million a year for 5 years would be a bargain compared to Hunt. He has ticker and football smarts.

He would be the best signing in many years and worth his weight in gold . However the reality is that the little bloke requires some big mobile forwards to protect him so as to play his natural attacking game .

half his market value ,that's a bit rich

 

[Hound of Dracula]

I'd love Sam but it's a risk as no-one immune from injury

1.5 mil out of the base cap of11.4mil 2025
A tad over 13% on one player in a 30 man squad.

It smells a bit like Ben Hunt mark 2 but hey, Sam ain't coming to the Dragons, but we can all keep dreaming.

Forget it fellas...there's no way he's coming to us.....Sorry wishful thinking......when was the last time we got someone we were hoping for.....I mean of note, not some journeyman or a discard

Are you suggestion Gareth, blokes like Lawrie dont fit the bill !!!!!!!

No certainty not , I realize thatRocky ain’t no oil painting but he does not possess that same thuggish look of many of young Samuel’s forward teammates - no snarl nor filed teeth - an absolute prerequisite for a rorters forward .

No to Sam Walker - too expensive.
The Salary Cap should be changed to work as follows - if Sam becomes uncontracted and another team is prepared to offer Sam $1.5M (via a registered bid through the NRL) then should he eventually stay with the Roosters - they should be forced to include a minimum of $1.275M (85% of 1.5M) in their salary cap. If the Roosters pay him more than $1.275M then the Cap amount increases accordingly.
