Coach Trent Robinson has named his squad to face Manly this Thursday night.
The Sydney Roosters travel to 4 Pines Park this Thursday night to take on the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in the fifth annual Gotcha4Life Cup.
With Billy Smith returning from injury this will be Trent Robinson's strongest squad to date. New recruit Reece Robson will look to build off a strong club debut performance last week. A win on Thursday night will be crucial heading into the first bye round next weekend ensuring a 4 point win.
Now in its fifth year, the Gotcha4Life Cup has become a significant fixture on the NRL calendar, bringing the Roosters and Sea Eagles together in support of mental fitness and suicide prevention.
What began as a shared commitment between the two clubs has grown into an annual moment of purpose, using the platform of rugby league to encourage stronger connections, open conversations and the reminder to check in on your mates.
Led by the Gotcha4Life Foundation, the initiative focuses on building mental fitness as a preventative approach, helping individuals and communities develop the tools to navigate life’s challenges.
