Reece Robson Joins Sydney Roosters in 2026
Big news in the NRL world today—Reece Robson, the star hooker for the North Queensland Cowboys, has officially signed with the Sydney Roosters. This blockbuster move, confirmed by both clubs, marks the first major deal of this year’s transfer season. Robson will join the Roosters at the start of 2026 on a lucrative four-year contract, locking him in until the end of the 2029 season.
The Sydney Roosters, known for their aggressive recruitment strategies, have been eyeing Robson for some time. With Brandon Smith’s performance reportedly falling short of expectations, the Roosters were keen to secure a top-tier replacement, and Robson fits the bill perfectly. According to Daniel Anderson, the Roosters' Head of Recruitment, the club is thrilled to welcome Robson to their lineup in 2026, emphasizing his potential to make a significant impact on the team.

On the Cowboys' side, it’s clear they fought hard to retain Robson. Michael Luck, the club's director of football, confirmed that they offered Robson the best deal possible within their salary cap limitations. However, with big contracts already allocated to players like Scott Drinkwater, Tom Dearden, Jeremiah Nanai, and Jason Taumalolo, the Cowboys simply couldn’t match the Roosters’ final offer. Despite this, the Cowboys expressed gratitude for Robson’s contributions and look forward to his leadership during his final season with them in 2025.
Coach Todd Payten shared his mixed emotions earlier this week, acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding Robson’s future at the time. He noted Robson’s deep ties to Townsville but emphasized the need for pragmatism in handling transitions like this.
Since debuting with the Cowboys in 2020, Robson has played 110 games, cementing his reputation as one of the game’s elite hookers. Before joining the Cowboys, he had a brief stint with the St George Illawarra Dragons, where he played nine games. His career trajectory has been nothing short of impressive, and his signing with the Roosters only underscores his value in the NRL.
As Robson prepares to embark on this new chapter, fans of both clubs will undoubtedly watch his final season with the Cowboys closely. For the Roosters, this signing signals their intent to remain a dominant force in the league, while the Cowboys will look to regroup and adjust as they face life without one of their star players.
