Team Tips: Roosters coach Trent Robinson told media on Monday he only has 19 fit players available at the moment. The devastating knee injury to Luke Keary opens the door for teenage talent Sam Walker to make his NRL debut in the halves. And with five-eighth Lachlan Lam also out injured, Drew Hutchison will partner Walker in a brand new halves pairing. Star middle forward Victor Radley finally returns from injury which will be a welcome boost for a side coming to grips with a horror injury toll. If Lindsay Collins isn’t fit in time then Jared Waerea-Hargreaves can start at prop, or alternatively Isaac Liu moves to prop and Radley comes straight in at lock. The casualty ward also opens the door for 17-year-old Joseph Suaalii to debut, which would be off the bench. Suaalii has been granted an exemption by the NRL to play despite the age limit being 18.
We cant win if our squad is smashed all the time.
We have this season to limp through and plan next year.
I'd be looking at a goal kicker, hooker and lock.

The V-man doesn't give two hoots about player safety, all these idiots are concerned with is the $$$$$$$

It's got everything to do with the increased speed of the game. Even with Concussions, why is that except? Players get exhausted, fatigued and as a result get careless and put their heads in the wrong position when tackling etc. Fatique creates mistakes and more accidents and injuries..

I've never seen an injury toll like the one we've endured these past 12+ months. Basically since Billy Smith tore his ACL in the 2020 preseason it's been one disaster after another.
So let's not pretent this is the worse crisis ever or even we are the club with the worst injury toll.

The irony is if it keeps going, too many players will be injured and the game will suffer for it as a spectacle.
Also games are more blow-outs and even the final top 8 is predictable.
3 Rounds gone but can anyone see another team making it other than these 9 (Panthers, Souths, Storm, Raiders, Eels, Titans, Knights, Roosters or Warriors).
Last yr i predicted Top 8 after rd 9. Who's gonna watch after 1st half of season..Too predictable now.
