Sydney Roosters
Aiming to claim their fourth Jersey Flegg Cup - 1995, 2002, 2004 - the Sydney Roosters are determined to defeat their opponents. Having claimed the Minor Premiership they lost against the Bulldogs in the Major semi-final and will be looking for retribution.
โIt would mean everything to the club,โ Roosters back-rower Phoenix Steinwede told nswrl.com.au.
โWe are aware of the privilege we have being in this position we are in now.
โWe have worked really hard, and we will take it with both hands, and it would mean a lot if we can get away with the win this weekend.โ
