The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce the line up for the Magic Round match against the Parramatta Eels on Sunday afternoon at Suncorp Stadium at 4pm.

In what will be the third annual Magic Round, every Round 10 match will be played at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, with the festival-like atmosphere set to provide the basis for an entertaining and thrilling round of Rugby League.

Roosters Members and fans still have the chance to purchase one-day Magic Round tickets, however with Saturday already sold out, fans are encouraged to secure their seats early to avoid disappointment.

Prior to the Roosters and Eels clash at 4pm, the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks will take on the Canberra Raiders at 1:50pm, while the Wests Tigers and North Queensland Cowboys will close the day's proceedings at 6:25pm. Be sure to get in early and enjoy a triple-header in Brisbane!

Head Coach Trent Robinson has made some minor changes to the line up this week, with Lindsay Collins and Sam Verrills coming out of the side this week.

The absence of Collins sees Siosiua Taukeiaho promoted to the starting side, while the returning Connor Watson slots straight into the No.9 jumper vacated by Verrills.

The remainder of the team is unchanged, with James Tedesco captaining the team at fullback.

Joseph Suaalii will line up alongside Daniel Tupou on the flanks.

Paul Momirovski and Joey Manu will again make up the centre pairing.

Sam Walker and Luke Keary will continue to line up in the No.6 and No.7 jerseys respectively after strong outings against the Gold Coast last week.

Taukeiaho, Watson and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves line up in the front row, while the starting side is rounded off with Angus Crichton, Sitili Tupouniua and Victor Radley in the back row.

Drew Hutchison, Fletcher Baker, Nat Butcher and Daniel Suluka-Fifita make up the interchange bench, with Lachlan Lam named at 18th man.

Naufahu Whyte, Ben Marschke, Ben Thomas, Kevin Naiqama, Adam Keighran and Tuku Hau Tapuha make up this week's extended bench.

The Roosters have been victorious on thirteen of the last eighteen clashes with the Eels, including a 28-0 shutout when they last met in 2021.

The win for the Roosters would see them leapfrog their rivals from the West on the ladder, leaving them within touching distance of the top four.

With another exciting season now underway, Roosters Members have come out in force and created history yet again, smashing the 16,000 milestone in record time.
