Sydney Roosters updated Top 30 Squad for 2022

[Thirteen]

According to the Roosters website

Fullbacks Tedesco & Suaalii
Wing Tupou
Centre Manu, Smith, Momorovski
5/8 Keary, Lam, Keighran
Halfback Walker, Hutchinson

Other than Teddy & Toups the rest can all play 2 positions.

Only one winger. Joey is going to cover wing and centre at the same time next season and beyond. According to some on here, it’s in his “new contract” that he can roam so he will roam between wing and centre and on both sides of the field. The clause says so.

"There are still 15 players around the competition holding out on being double jabbed, according to News Corp
That includes some on massive salaries, like the Cowboys’ Jason Taumalolo ($1 million) Storm’s Nelson-Asofa Solomona ($675,000) and Raiders’ Josh Papalii ($660,000).
The other players named in the report are Api Koroisau, Joseph Tapine, Api Koroisau, Dylan Walker and Brian Kelly, plus unnamed players from the Warriors, Roosters, Dragons, Tigers and Sharks."

Im presuming its SST & thats why there is a rumour he will be leaving.

No mate the rumour about SST leaving startedlong before this vaccination stuff.

From what the Panthers have apparently said to Koroisau, that he will miss 4 games (interstate/airline requiring vaccination) he’s in a better spot than say Taumalolo and Asofa-Solomona who’d be flying every other game.

I do see a pattern though

[Kelvin Johnson]

Any word on Ben Thomas, I thought he was worth a low value contract as a depth player. Did he sign somewhere else

Having his first NRL pre-season with the Roosters. Not sure if Bears or Roosters, but either way he is with us in 2022.

[QUOTE=King Salvo; The Volkster (Ronald Volkman) will hopefully be developed too now that he is on the Development list and will be training full time with the NRL squad.

You've sold me on the Volkster since early days Salvo. Been consistently good with the Bears I hear and, hopefully, he will get his chances in the coming season given the fragility of both Keary and Walker. He's got the full bag of skills, appears to be in the final stages of his Robbo apprenticeship and, now, under the blowtorch of NRL experience only performance will decide whether he's another Josh Lewis and unable to fulfil his promise in what is the most demanding position on the field these days.

It's a player on a very low priced contract - around $75k from memory.

More likely he has now been forced to get vaccinated against his will.

My Government Department -NSW Department of Education has made it mandatory for all staff to be double vaxed if not exempt.

Quite a number of Teachers , School support staff., Early Childhood Education Directorate staff have had their employment terminated as their double vax or exemption requirement was mandatory under a Government Health order - Our Corporate one is via a Secretaries Directive - Department Heads are called Secretaries nowadays.

For Corporate staff they have until 30th January 2022 to be double vaxed or exempt and if not on 31st January they will be stood down on paid leave or unpaid leave if they have no leave pending investigation by our PES (Professional and Ethical Standards Directorate) which could result in discipline action or termination of employment.

All new employees must be double vaxed or exempt.

Have to wait and see if any Corporate staff are terminated and fight their termination at the IRC - Unfair dismissal - to determine the legality of a Secretaries Direction under the Employers lawful and reasonable directions scenario and when not a Government Mandated Health directive.

Anyway I am double vaxed
