Walker’s Roosters Bombshell + Hudson Young’s Contract Chaos | Kenty Blitz

🏉 Welcome to Kenty Blitz: Walker’s Roosters Bombshell, Hudson Young’s Contract Chaos & PNG’s Tax-Free Advantage Paul Kent breaks down the biggest stories in rugby league as the NRL player market heats up ahead of November 1.

Kenty unpacks reports that the Roosters have withdrawn their offer to Sam Walker, the alleged extra $100,000 request, and why Nick Politis appears ready to walk away. Plus, he explores where Walker could land next, including Papua New Guinea, the Bulldogs and a left-field Melbourne move, alongside the possibility of a Tom Dearden swap.

Kenty also examines Hudson Young’s stalled Raiders negotiations, the debate over salary-cap ratchet clauses, and why the NRL’s player valuations and PNG’s tax-free advantage could create a recruitment nightmare. He also weighs in on trade windows, media leaks and the agendas driving rugby league’s contract headlines.
