Head Coach Trent Robinson has named the side that will face the North Queensland Cowboys at 1300SMILES Stadium on Thursday night.
The Roosters were much improved in Round 2 and will look to build on that performance against the Cowboys this week.
It won't be a walk in the park against the Premiers, but the boys will be up for a big challenge.
The side is nearly unchanged, with Latrell Mitchell set to retain the fullback spot and Blake Ferguson to remain in the centres.
Mitchell Frei takes the vacant 17 jersey in place of Vincent Leuluai and Eloni Vunakece will be 18th man for the second week in a row.

1. Latrell Mitchell
2. Daniel Tupou
3. Dale Copley
4. Blake Ferguson
