Cody Walker's relationship with South Sydney hits rock bottom

Cody Walker's battle with South Sydney has hit a new bitter low with the star utility telling the club he will not be there in 2019.

Walker is signed to Souths for next season and has an option his way for the following year.

But the classy half is unhappy with the money he is on at the Bunnies and today declared he would not be taking up the option.

Walker is hoping the move will allow him to get an early release and pick up a new club for 2018.

Walker, 27, signed a paltry contract with the Rabbitohs last year and despite being Souths' best player for the past 12 months, is one of the lowest paid players in the game.

It is believed Walker is on only $200,000 a season, with Souths unwilling to upgrade him.

Four clubs have expressed interest in Walker since it was revealed earlier this week that he is unhappy with Souths.

The Broncos are set to offer Walker $600,000 a season while Melbourne also see him as a potential replacement for Cooper Cronk in the halves.
