It's doubtful any club in the history of the game has suffered a worse injury toll than the Roosters in 2021 - but the men in red, white and blue kept turning up. The massive injury toll made a premiership in 2021 impossible, but this season, with a fit and younger roster, beware the Roosters. The Sam Walker-Luke Keary halfback combination could be the key to how far the Roosters go in the finals.
Gains: Connor Watson (Knights), Renouf Atoni (Bulldogs), Paul Momirovski (Panthers)
Losses: Isaac Liu (Titans), Josh Morris (retired), Brett Morris (retired), Jake Friend (retired), Boyd Cordner (retired), Dale Copley (retired), Matt Ikuvalu (Sharks)
Greatest strength: James Tedesco is arguably the second best fullback in the game and his raids from the backfield have led the way for many Roosters tries in recent seasons. With strike power around him, he can lead the Roosters deep into the finals.
Biggest loss: Four big ones - the Morris twins, Cordner and Friend rob the Roosters of many hundreds of games of experience.
