The Sydney Roosters are gearing up for an exciting 2025 season, with a mix of player retention, community engagement, and a focus on strengthening their legacy in both the men’s and women’s leagues. Here’s a glimpse into what’s making headlines.
Sam Walker Extends His Stay
Star halfback Sam Walker has committed to the Roosters until the end of 2027, a move that secures one of the league’s most promising playmakers for the foreseeable future. Despite an ACL injury that cut short his 2024 season, Walker remains optimistic. “This club feels like home,” he said, emphasizing his dedication to recovery and returning stronger.
Walker’s extension is a testament to the club’s long-term vision under head coach Trent Robinson, ensuring a strong core for seasons to come. Roosters Director of Football, Mitchell Aubusson, called Walker an “important part of our plans” and praised his commitment on and off the field.
NRLW Achievements Continue
The Roosters’ women’s team remains a powerhouse, showcasing stellar performances in 2024, including a memorable Grand Final appearance. Players like Brydie Parker and Olivia Kernick delivered clutch plays that kept fans on the edge of their seats. The team’s contributions extend beyond the field, as they actively participate in initiatives supporting women’s health and well-being.
Global and Local Impact
Off the field, the Roosters have reinforced their commitment to growing rugby league internationally. A recent partnership aims to boost the sport in the USA, a move reflecting their ambitions to expand rugby league’s global footprint. Locally, the club continues engaging with its community through health initiatives and fan-centered programs.
With Walker leading a refreshed roster, an unstoppable NRLW team, and forward-thinking strategies, the Sydney Roosters are poised to soar even higher in 2025.
