One of the competition's heavyweights are officially on the ropes, after Roosters coach Trent Robinson confirmed that Luke Keary had suffered a suspected ACL injury. It's brutal news for the Roosters, who also lost forward Lindsay Collins and Keary's halves partner Lachlan Lam prematurely during their 26-16 loss to arch-rivals South Sydney. It's a series of brutal blows for the Roosters, who are already currently without key players such as Victor Radley, Sam Verrills, Boyd Cordner, and Jake Friend. With Lam and Keary missing at least the short-term future, the Roosters spine faces a total overhaul going into their next few games. Young gun Sam Walker and former Dragon Drew Hutchison seem the likely halves pairing going forward - but Robinson could throw a curveball and move centre Joseph Manu to five-eighth, or even give a shock debut to boom rookies Joseph Suaalii or Ronald Volkman. Robinson said his team played 'good, open footy' in the past two weeks but weren't ready for the test that came with facing one of the competition's heavyweights.
