Heard you the first time Gbanger.. but like I said Srama will be at Easts in 2015! His signing will be announced when its announced could be as late as January.. If its earlier then so be it!

Can they teach him to pass?
He is a very ordinary dummy half, terrible passing game and he's a dummy half. No to Srama, give the Roo's hooker a shot with Horrie on the bench c

With Carts as a coach Bird is lucky to still be playing for NSW, Morts is proof of what TIT can bring.

Now, I'm sensing there's a person in the room with a dead relative with a vowel in their name...does anyone fit that description?

South Park summed him up.

There you go Danish, a video from this decade. Happy now?

BREAKING NEWS: Roosters have signed Titans hooker Matt Srama. Will provide cover for Jake Friend, who will undergo shoulder surgery #NRL

he Sydney Roosters have signed Gold Coast hooker Matt Srama to help cover for the expected loss of Jake Friend for the opening months of the NRL season.

Friend requires shoulder surgery and is expected to miss up to 10 rounds, although an exact date can't be set until he actually goes under the knife. A staph infection means that probably won't happen for about three weeks.

While the tri-colours have capable dummy halves in Jackson Hastings and Mitch Aubusson, neither are 80-minute players in the position. There were fears the club's depth would be stretched if either succumbed to injury, particularly after Heath L'Estrange was released to St George Illawarra.

The Roosters have been scouring the market for a back up and enquired about the availability of a number of players, including Canberra rakes Glen Buttriss and Matt McIlwrick. However, there would be no release forthcoming as both are in Raiders coach Ricky Stuart's plans.

The Gold Coast also have a surplus of hooking options including Penrith recruit Keiran Moseley, Beau Falloon, Paul Carter, Daniel Mortimer and youngster Matthew Beddow. After being approached by the Roosters, the Titans opted to let Srama go.

Srama, who knocked back interest from English Super League clubs, has played 62 games for the Titans since making his NRL debut in 2011 but has been hampered by injury in recent times. He played only six games before suffering a hip/groin problem which required surgery in August and prematurely ended his season. However, the 23 year old has proven himself a reliable first grader and could get quality game time at his new home while Friend is in the rehab group.

It has been a tough trot for Friend, who sustained a lung injury so severe in his side's round 25 clash that club medico Dr Ameer Ibrahim said: "Had Jake been living in the country, four or five hours away from hospital, he would have died." However, the 24 year old made a swift recovery and played a key role in the epic finals win over North Queensland.

Friend's injury dramas won't impact on his chances of becoming the next Roosters captain as coach Trent Robinson considers a replacement for Anthony Minichiello. Friend, Mitchell Pearce, Boyd Cordner and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves were all vice captains this season and Robinson is in the process of deciding whether to appoint one skipper or opt for a co-captaincy model.

The NRL has given Blake Ferguson permission to participate in preseason training but the sacked Raider is yet to be cleared to reignite his league career. The Roosters are yet to lodge a formal contract with the governing body but are hopeful he will free to play when they do. The decision will come down to to the NRL's new chief operating officer, Suzanne Young, who was recently named as the replacement for new Warriors boss Jim Doyle.
