Trent Robinson has finalised the side to take on the Melbourne Storm in tonight's Round 24 match at AAMI Park.

One change has been made to the side to take the field, with Drew Hutchison starting in the centres in jersey no.18, while second rower Nat Butcher will play his 100th game for the Club, fresh off a four-try haul last week.

That's stunning.

That on top of Jaxson Paulo signing (if true)....its a wow day.

Don't share the confidence of others on here

How's this for our recent record

"Storm 0-5 ❌
Panthers 0-6 ❌
Rabbitohs 1-4 ❌

The Roosters are the NRL's form team. But they have only won one of their last 16 games against three of the competition's best teams."

[Seventy Five]

The danger tonight is the enforcers in this team JWH/Radley/Lodge get too emotionally amped up and do something stupid that hurts this team, there is a fine line between playing aggressive or reckless important they don't lean too far towards reckless tonight.

The Storm are also going to defensively test over and over both Walker and Keary.

Was thinking similar thoughts mate, potential for this game to be a real powder keg. Lets hope so.

Whenever we play the Storm I cant help but think of the opening stanza of the 2018 GF where we completely owned the the Drizz with ruthless, swarming and controlled aggression.. That was the most complete performance in a Grand Final I think I have ever seen. I didn't expect that performance then, but tonight I sense something special coming.

Don't worry about Keary, Kafussihad had to shave his head after Kez souvenired a clump of hair roots and all, smacked him in the chops and sent him from the field blubbering like a baby. 2019 another favourite memory.

Cant wait for this. Lets go Roosters, Lets go!

I think that will change tonight.

So Momo dropped again. Or is he carrying an injury I wonder?

Please - he's being overlooked

[DP1990]

Has Momirovski been dropped due to form ? or is there an underlying injury ? Defensive liability ?

[RoosterFanNZ]

hes still the reserve player, surely if he is carrying he wouldn't list him altogether?

[Rocky Rhodes]

Hutch threatened to reveal Robbo Pics....seriously what's doing there...

D-day for Easts...don't know what to expect.

Roosters by 4..

Go Easts..

[King Salvo]

Hutch has his game face on

What is going on? Momos no champ but is a specialist centre who has already won a flag. We won't be winning a comp with tonight's squad. My confidence has been somewhat eroded.

[mightyrooster]

Yes I agree. So Robbo was playing mind games then?
