悉尼公鸡队四分卫萨姆·沃克在周四晚对阵北昆州牛仔队的比赛中砍下36分，帮助球队以82-12的压倒性比分取胜[1]。沃克的个人得分由3次达阵和12次转换射门组成[1]，创造了全国橄榄球联赛（NRL）历史第三高的单场得分纪录[1]。
这一杰出表现尤为瞩目的是，沃克一人所得的36分已经超过了西虎队过去五场比赛的总得分32分[1]。教练特伦特·罗宾逊对球队在这场比赛中展现出的"饥饿感"和防守表现表示满意[1]。值得注意的是，队长詹姆斯·特德斯科因脚踝伤势在下半场坐在场边观看，但仍可继续参赛[1]。
沃克目前正在与俱乐部进行合同谈判，双方讨论的是一份年薪不低于150万美元的长期合同，协议必须在11月1日前完成签署[1]。
Sydney Roosters five-eighth Sam Walker delivered a historic individual performance in Thursday's matchup against the North Queensland Cowboys, accumulating 36 points through three tries and 12 goal conversions to lead his team to an overwhelming 82-12 victory [1]. Walker's extraordinary output surpassed the entire point total that the Wests Tigers managed across their previous five games, which stood at 32 points [1]. The 36-point haul ranks as the third-highest single-game score in NRL history, behind only Dave Brown's 45 points in 1935 and 38 points in 1990 [1].
The dominant display comes as Walker navigates ongoing contract negotiations with the club, with discussions centered around a long-term agreement stipulating a minimum annual salary of 1.5 million dollars, with a deadline of November 1 set for completion [1]. Coach Trent Robinson emphasized his satisfaction with the team's "hunger" and defensive execution throughout the contest [1]. Captain James Tedesco, who watched the second half from the sidelines due to an ankle injury, remains available for continued participation in upcoming fixtures [1].
