Take these nine blokes and you have the nucleus of a premiership-winning team - Brandon Smith, Daniel Tupou, Dominic Young, Nat Butcher, Sam Walker, Victor Radley, Egan Butcher, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Lindsay Collins. All nine were missing from the Roosters line-up last Friday night yet the team still managed to carve out a 36-28 win over old rivals Souths. The win without so many stars shows what many believe - that the Roosters have the best depth in the NRL. That will be crucial when the finals basically come down to a battle of the fittest, with injuries and suspensions likely to decide who takes the title. And with such a powerful squad and many of these nine blokes set to return in coming weeks, the Roosters could be the team to beat.
