We have a great relationship and we want him to stay. I\u2019m confident we can get a deal done.\u201d<\/p>\n Sam Walker set for monster Roosters deal | 01:31<\/p>\n MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n THE RUN HOME: Storm\u2019s only hope of saving historic run; shock top-two surge<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018THINK IT\u2019S CURTAINS\u2019: Massive DCE call tipped as reason behind shake-up revealed<\/a><\/p>\n TEAM LISTS: Benji\u2019s huge Doueihi call revealed; Cleary swings the axe<\/a><\/p>\n Walker\u2019s debut State of Origin series, which included a Game II man of the match award<\/a>, has no doubt bumped his price up and attracted the interest of rival clubs.<\/p>\n NRL 360 host Braith Anasta said it would be interesting if Walker took the deal or waited until November 1 to see what other clubs, particularly the Bears and Chiefs, might offer.<\/p>\n Anasta said sticking with the Roosters would be the safe option for the 24-year-old halfback, not only for his playing career under Trent Robinson, but post-football life. <\/p>\n \u201cIf he goes to the open market he\u2019d probably get more money elsewhere. But then you peel it all back with clubs like the Roosters and he can take a little bit less to stay,\u201d Anasta said. <\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s done all his work there, he\u2019s got combinations there, he gets along with Robbo, (and there\u2019s) the potential to win a premiership.<\/p>\n \u201cThen you\u2019ve got the Roosters board and powerbrokers and connections there that can give you opportunities off the footy field to set yourself up for life after footy. So I think this all comes into it.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I\u2019m Sam, I\u2019m probably thinking he\u2019s in the right spot.\u201d <\/p>\n Sam Walker is set to be offered a mega contract extension to stay at the Roosters Picture: Richard DobsonSource: Supplied<\/p>\n Despite proving he was up to Origin standard this year, the jury is still out on whether Walker has the game to deliver the Roosters a premiership.<\/p>\n He\u2019s played 102 matches and had more than 70 try assists, including 14 this season.<\/p>\n He has had knee issues, but is blossoming as a halfback and entering the best 10 years of his career.<\/p>\n \u201cI like it for both parties. We talk around Sam and consistently in the NRL, he\u2019s been great, but he\u2019s got to own the back end of the season, and we haven\u2019t seen that yet. But that deal I think is a fair deal for both parties,\u201d reporter Michael Carayannis said.<\/p>\n Robinson denies 10 year offer to Walker | 01:57<\/p>\n MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n TALKING POINTS: Forgotten part of Tigers mess; Wayne\u2019s looming contract call<\/a><\/p>\n CRAWLS: \u2018Get over it\u2019: Why Tigers, and NRL, must draw line in sand with Doueihi<\/a><\/p>\n DOUEIHI LANDING SPOTS: Big Madge hint… and rival to land bitter Benji blow<\/a><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-fallback.png\"\/)
