Seems pretty final unless one party swallows his pride or their pride and begs. I know the Rorters front office won't do that so I should say, unless Walker begs to take the deal he rejected. Can't see that happening either.

I don't know near as much as a lot of others about young players, specially at other clubs but I know as Mailroomsgi Mailroomsgi stated above, Carter Marketo and Toby Rodwell have had a lot of experts saying good things for a while. Obviously the Rorters wanted to keep Walker but I think they didn't want to lose both of Marketo and Rodwell which is why they wouldn't offer Walker as much as he could get elsewhere. A bit like us with Charlie Heidke. Want to sign a long term centre partner for Ollie Burton but is it worth throwing overs at one when we have a possibility like Heidke? It's a hard one. I guess I'll go with whatever Dan Anderson and Deano decide.

I still dont believe the rorters are remotely thinking Rodwell (let alone Marketo) are their starting 7's in the next few years.. esp when they were ruthless enough to sign DCE over the top of Savala.. who I think is who they rly intend to back.. unless.. they rly are trying to get Dearden... that seems more realistic..

Rodwell is about as developed as Kade Reed is in comparison.. still a few years from being an every week first grader.

As for us, we cant rely on Heidke.. he has barely played a solid patch since 2024 perhaps.. he's gotta deliver something first then I reckon we will be happy to sign him.. if were talking Bostock, we can definitely find a spot for him as a winger or ctr.. the gamble is in 2-3yrs time, if some of our kids come on, were gonna have salary cap strife to keep them.. but this is really a problem you want to be having.

He signed last pre-season when the Titans Hannay-love-in was happening.. same as Tino and um I think Campbell.. thats why I wanted to get a fresh coach for 2027 so we had a free pass into recruitment and retention.. but in the end we got a free pass anyway based on Andersons recruitment basically.. we're running on virtual currency atm.. we have to back it up on the field if we want to keep the momentum going into future years.
