He’s about to get a lot of golf practice.
Probably along with any other player who has played origin or rep games this year.So are Easts still chasing Flannigan?
Don’t bet on it. The Roosters usually pick up two or three promising juniors for each position, keep the best and dump those they don’t want. Just ask Zac Nicholls. Hopefully they’ll have their eyes turned elsewhere this time.He’s a year or 2 off 1st grade, it’ll stop them poaching cust and schuster I reckon
So he had a roosters poster and reacted to one loss. Yeah that makes him a dyed in the wool one-eyed roosters fan and now a roosters junior.Queensland under-18s young gun Sam Walker has quit the Broncos to sign a $300,000 contract with the Roosters in one of the richest deals for a 16-year-old in Australian sport.
17 years old... 150k a year..... what could possibly go wrong?

Ben Walker said his son, a Roosters fan since his youngest days, is staying level-headed.
“I remember he had a Roosters poster on his wall.
“I only ever saw him lose his cool once and that was when the Rabbitohs beat the Roosters on the bell one night and he stormed off to bed and wouldn’t talk to anyone.
“So it’s ironic he is going to the Roosters now.”
---- That's not irony.
I suggest people watch this kid play. We all sit around wrapping Burbot and Schuster and co and talk about them like they are certain NRL legends of the future and how they should be straight into our top 30 next year yet this kid owned a SOO game where Qld were streets ahead of the young blues while Schuster and Jurbot were decent but didn’t really shine. And I’m a huge wrap on Schuster. He will be a gun.
The Cutters who beat us in the 18s were destroyed in the National championships and he is the stand out kid in that age group and they look to have a lot more young talent than the blues.
Seen this kid a lot and he is way ahead of other young playmakers. Nik has been courting Ben Walker for ages. Everyone knew he was to be a rooster.
And not there to play second fiddle biding his time. He’s there because they think he’s the next big thing and a lot of people agree with him.
He’s very much like Jai Arrow in attitude. No Ash Taylor about this bloke.Dont be surprised if he’s starting half next year with Keary.
That surprises me thought he was almost 18He is still only 16 years old though, so no chance of being their starting half next season.
Unless of course, he turns 17 soon amd so could get a run late in the season....
Really. Thought he was almost 18. That does rule him out next season then. He’s a tough kid. He’ll be ready for first grade as soon as he qualifies. I haven’t seen a better half up here at his age.He is still only 16 years old though, so no chance of being their starting half next season.
