The Sydney Roosters are currently dealing with how their playing roster will look like in the foreseeable future.
With 12 players coming off-contract at season’s end, Adam Peacock, Michael Chammas & Danny Weidler assess on Footy Talk whether or not this may be a larger issue than it seems.
LISTEN HERE:
Corey Allan, Fletcher Baker, Nathan Brown, Thomas Deakin, Drew Hutchinson, Vuate Karawalevu, Matthew Lodge, Billy Smith, Daniel Tupou, Jake Turpin, Jared Warea-Hargreaves & Connor Watson’s current deals all expire at the end of 2023.
But Footy Talk’s journos now understand that original plans by the Chooks’ management may have changed due to certain departures, arrivals and superb form from a key experienced player.
‘He’s been their alpha male for such a long time,’ said Weilder.
‘He’s their leader, they’ve got a huge winning percentage with him.’
