Sydney Roosters withdraw a contract extension offer to halfback Sam Walker, leaving his future at the club uncertain. Multiple outlets report the decision comes shortly before the November 1 contract restart, with the offer reportedly being pulled “off the table.”
In a separate but related development, Australia coach Kevin Walters omits Walker from the Kangaroos squad for a match against the Cook Islands. The coverage states Walters says Walker’s contract situation was not a factor in the selection decision.
Across the reports, the core facts are consistent: the Roosters retract their offer, Walker’s situation remains unresolved, and he does not play for Australia against Cook Islands. The main differences are in emphasis, with some outlets leading on the club’s contract move and others connecting it directly to the international selection.
