For the final time in the 2016 season, RoostersTV caught up with NYC Coach Anthony Barnes to discuss his side's big win over the Dragons and the challenge of facing the Penrith Panthers in the Holden Cup Grand Final this Sunday.
With one last battle before the season is over, the Roosters will be looking to win the Holden Cup for the first time in the Club's history against a tough Panthers outfit.
The Roosters were unable to topple the Panthers in either of their two meetings in 2016, but will look to fire up for the big dance when they go head-to-head at ANZ Stadium.
The side is unchanged to the side named to face the Dragons, with the only change on the extended bench.
Ben Marschke has been named in the number 21 jersey, while Lachlan Lam comes out of the side this week.
