Rads & Toups out

[Mickie Lane]

Not good

[Carlos Parra]

Bloody hell. 2 of our best all year!

There's a whiff of good news though:

Michael Jennings comes in from 18th man to start in the centres, with Joseph Sua'ali'i shifting to the wing, while Connor Watson comes into the starting side in Radley's place. Siua Wong comes onto the interchange bench for his third NRL match of the season, with Fetalaiga Pauga named at 18th man and Zach Dockar-Clay as the remaining reserve.

Don't worry, all smoke and mirrors. The cricket score's still on!!!

NRL Physio

Daniel Tupou ruled out for the Roosters this week with a PCL injury suffered at training (Hyperextended Knee). No word on severity or expected recovery time at this stage - good news is isolated PCL injuries rarely need surgery (even complete tears). If minor/moderate sprain most back in 2-4 weeks

Victor Radley (hamstring strain - no word on severity)

Mikaele Ravalawa out for Dragons - Knee Soreness

Sydney Roosters casualty ward

• Daniel Tupou (knee, TBC)

FM Jenko and Young on one side. You might be right. Suli and Lomax 2+ tries a good bet.

FMD. Not a good start to the long weekend

[RoosterBooster]

Seems like changing medical teams has done nothing, the amount of persistent and constant injuries is soooooo frustrating

[bondi.boy]

Starting with Watson at lock?
Should've played Wong lock, or N Butcher lock and Wong in 2nd row.
We needed size to start the game.

rads might be in the best form of his career. hope they're both back next week

[Ron Burgundy]

Yeah that’s a bummer. We tend not to do very well without toops. The kind of player you don’t realise how important he is until he’s not there.

Can’t believe we are still $1.50 favourites.
