The NRL contract saga around star Parramatta halfback Mitchell Moses has taken another twist, with fresh reports linking him with a move to the Roosters to replace Sam Walker. There are several major factors standing in the way of any such move – not the least of which being the very real likelihood Walker decides to extend his stay at the Roosters, rather than potentially switching clubs for more money when his current deal expires at the end of the 2025 season.
Unless Walker recommits to the Tri Colours before November 1 this year though, he will become a free agent and thus able to negotiate with rival clubs for 2026 and beyond. Following a standout season for Trent Robinson’s side in 2024, Walker would surely have plenty of suitors and could very well fetch a bigger contract at a rival club than what the Roosters are willing to offer.
