The Sydney Roosters have named their squad for Friday night's Round 20 Telstra Premiership clash against the Melbourne Storm at Allianz Stadium.

The Roosters return to Allianz Stadium for a blockbuster clash against the Melbourne Storm, with the Tricolours looking to continue their strong form in front of the Roosters faithful.

Fresh from an impressive victory last weekend, the Roosters welcome one of the competition's traditional heavyweights in what shapes as a crucial contest as the race towards the finals intensifies.

Sam Walker returns to steer the side around the park after an impressive Origin campaign, while Reece Robson resumes at hooker, bringing his trademark toughness, defensive steel and service through the middle.

Cody Ramsey will once again start at fullback, while Nat Butcher slots back into second row.

Billy Smith and Hugo Savala are set to be the Roosters starting centres.

Playing under the lights at Allianz Stadium, the Tricolours will be looking to harness the energy of the home crowd as they chase another important two competition points.
