Lachlan Walmsley is potentially in the most unique position of all. A Super League Grand Final winner with Wakefield Trinity and without a contract for 2027.
Walmsley was part of the Wakefield side that made history with their 23-10 victory over Warrington Wolves in the Super League Grand Final to become only the sixth winners of the competition. It ended a 58-year top-flight trophy drought for a side that have gone through everything Super League has had to offer.
During that game, winger Walmsley came up with an audacious no-look flick pass to set up Wakefield's opening try for Cam Scott. It was his farewell to a club that have given him so much. Prior to living out his dream, Walmsley made a handful of appearances in the second division of Australian rugby before deciding to chase the dream on the other side of the world.
Despite the uncertainty around his future, Walmsley knows he is a perfect example of someone taking a leap, putting the work in, and it paying off. "Obviously chase your dreams and anything can happen," Walmsley added. "Coming from Whitehaven and then Halifax for a couple of years and just to be here now and have that ring on my finger."
