Roosters Eye Off Grand Slam If They Can Overcome Injuries
Sydney Roosters Could Become The First Team In 26 Years To Win Three Straight Premierships
The Sydney Roosters are eyeing off the greatest feat in rugby league history if they can overcome a horror injury toll and claim a third straight premiership.
No team has won three straight titles since Brisbane in 1992-93 and the Roosters will need to defy history and a lengthy casualty ward to become just the fourth team to achieve the feat.
They will enter the finals without Luke Keary and Victor Radley, while Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Siosiua Taukeiaho are both battling injuries.
Sydney Roosters Have A Long History Of Success
Despite the setbacks, the Roosters are still the team to beat after winning back-to-back titles in 2018 and 2019.
They have a wealth of experience and quality across the park, led by skipper Boyd Cordner, James Tedesco and Cooper Cronk.
The Roosters have also been boosted by the return of Latrell Mitchell from a hamstring injury, and he will be a key player in their quest for three-peat glory.
The Road To The Grand Final Will Be Tough
The Roosters will need to be at their best to win the premiership, as they face a tough road to the grand final.
They will likely have to face the Melbourne Storm, Canberra Raiders and Penrith Panthers in the finals series, and all three teams are genuine title contenders.
However, the Roosters have shown that they are capable of beating anyone on their day, and they will be confident of claiming a third straight premiership if they can stay healthy.
Conclusion
The Sydney Roosters are on the verge of making history, but they will need to overcome a horror injury toll to claim a third straight premiership.
They have the experience, quality and depth to do it, but they will need to be at their best to beat the best teams in the NRL.
If they can do it, they will etch their names into rugby league folklore.
