The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce the line up for our Round 23 clash against the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium in the NRL's Indigenous Round. 

The Roosters will be wearing the 2025 Indigenous Jersey in honour of player #637 Kevin Stevens, designed by his niece Casey Armfield‑Stevens.

Kevin 'Stumpy' Stevens was an instrumental piece to the champion sides of the 1970’s, displaying versatility, team-first attitude, and above all, a tenacity he would become famous for in his seven seasons at Bondi.
