The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce the line up for Saturday afternoon's Round 18 match against the St. George Illawarra Dragons at Central Coast Stadium.

The match represents the Roosters' first NRL game back at Central Coast Stadium in over a year, with our last visit being a 44-16 win over Canberra back in May, 2021.

The occasion will mark the first time the two sides have ever met each other in Gosford, while the looming race towards September is also sure to add spice to the contest.

Emerging from the Origin period following a bye last weekend, Trent Robinson, in his 250th match as Roosters Head Coach, has made several changes to his side this week.

The Roosters have suffered just five defeats to the Red V since the 2012 season, winning 16 of 21 contests.

Outside of the traditional ANZAC Day clash, the Roosters have not lost to the Dragons since 2010.
