SST going to Catalans at end of 2022 for $650,000 apparently.It will be a big transition with SST/Cordner not there by then & JWH pretty much finished.The young guns like Baker/Butcher/Collins etc have big shoes to fill,but says we will be cashed up & heading to market.

JWH should only be finished at the Roosters when he wants to be.
Baker, Butcher and the other young guns will all be ready to win games and the comp in 2023?
Maybe.
Cashed up in 2023? on SST's contract money?
Don't think so.

Sydney Roosters prop Sio Siua Taukeiaho is reportedly set to join Catalans Dragons.

However, despite the Daily Telegraph reporting that Taukeiaho is being hunted by the Super League Grand Finalists, the deal will likely be for 2023 and beyond, with the Roosters determined to keep hold of the Tongan international for 2022.

Taukeaiho, who is good friends with former Catalans and Roosters forward Sam Moa, was linked with a move to the Super League earlier on in the season, but those rumours went quiet.

Now, however, it appears as though Catalans boss Steve McNamara is hunting the 29-year-old to possibly finish his career in the south of France.

Taukeiaho has been a massive hit for the Roosters, though knee and hamstring injuries have plagued his time on the field in recent seasons.

The prop – who can also play second-row and loose forward – has played 150 games for Sydney, scoring 168 points since joining from the New Zealand Warriors in 2015.

Bummer if true, big fan of Siua. Uncle needs to work his magic tho, need cap space to stay competitive rather than keep some too long.

Payne haas come on down?

Can’t say I’m overly excited at them leading the pack.

Collins started the year as our no.1 front rower. He was outstanding before doing his ACL-he was outstanding for Qld the year before. I expect it will take him a good dozen games in 2022 to hit his straps after his ACL......but anything less than being our most dominant forward in the next 4 years will be a disappointment. Im backing him in

And the pressure mounts on Collins to stay healthy and in form

That would be a blessing

If true, SST will leave the Roosters at the end of 2022 being a three time premiership winner!!!!! As for JWH, he has at least another 2 great seasons in him as I cannot see him finishing up anytime soon...

He needs to stop that "run at 100 miles an hours and crash into the defence" he does.
Doing that, something usually gets broken.
Taking the ball up, making as many metres as possible, not getting pushed backwards, not losing the ball, and maybe safely offloading it....are what's required.
