Teams have been named for Sunday’s NSWRL senior representative rugby league fixtures. The two Roosters teams in action this weekend will all play a double header at Wentworth Park on Sunday.
NSW Cup Team (Round 2):
Coach Brett Morris has named his team, who currently sit 2nd on the competition table, to play 14th placed the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Redfern Oval on Sunday. The match kicks off at 2.00 pm.
From the team that convincingly defeated the New Zealand Warriors on Friday there has been a number of changes. Firstly, left centre Tommy Talau (knee) is out. However, his replacement will not be determined until later in the week. In the halves, Toby Rodwell (NRL duty) returns at halfback, with Reece Foley moving to five eighth and Lachlan Dooner, who played five eighth in Round One, named as 18th man, replacing Will Malloy.
In the forwards, lock Salesi Foketi (NRL duty) will also miss the game, with Jaxson Rahme coming off the bench to start and Aston Warwick coming into the squad, replacing Rahme on the bench.
The team will again also be without Benaiah Ioelu (NRL duty), Junior Pauga (NRL duty), Cody Ramsey (NRL duty), Hugo Savala (ankle), Jake Elliott (hamstring), Michael Coleman (knee) and Rhys Dakin. However, it’s quite possible that the two players slated for NRL duty on Friday night, that won’t be in the 17 that actually play the NRL game, could well be added to the N.S.W. Cup team when it’s finalised on Sunday, leading to further changes to the final line-up.

Jersey Flegg Cup Team (Round 2):
Coach Anthony Barnes has named his team, who currently sit 14th on the competition table, to play 3rd placed the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Redfern Oval on Sunday. The match kicks off at 11.45 am.
Lachlan Dooner and Josiah Fesolai have been named after playing in the N.S.W. Cup last weekend. Dooner is named in the second row, which means John-Paul Donevski moves to left centre to replace Jonti Morshead-Feidel, who goes back to the bench for Paula Teisina.
Fesolai is named at hooker, forcing Jacob Tinsley back to the bench. Kanaan Magele is out on N.S.W. Cup duty, meaning Kynan Toevai moves from the bench to replace Magele.
