Sydney Roosters Coach Trent Robinson has reduced the squad to 19 players ahead of tomorrow's Round 27 clash with the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Accor Stadium. 

As confirmed by Robinson this morning, Joseph Manu has been ruled out of the match with a Grade 1 hamstring strain sustained in Round 26. Corey Allan has been named to take his place in the centres. 

Daniel Tupou has also been ruled out of Friday's game with a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury sustained at training. Fetalaiga Pauga comes into the starting line-up to replace the Tongan International on the wing. 

Drew Hutchison is the Tricolours 18th player in jersey no.20, while Naufahu Whyte is the remaining reserve.

The final team will be confirmed one hour prior to kick-off tomorrow at 7:00pm.
