The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce the line up for Friday night's Round 24 NRL match against the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park.

Easts will be looking to string together seven consecutive victories - a record last achieved in 2019 - when they travel down to the Victorian capital in the side's second meeting with the Storm this season.

Butcher: "We Did the SCG Proud"

Forward Nat Butcher will be the latest Rooster to achieve the 100-game milestone on Friday night, having played all of his NRL matches at the Club since making his first-grade debut in Round 26 of the 2016 season.

Trent Robinson welcomes back three big names to his squad in the form of Paul Momirovski, Lindsay Collins and Siosiua Taukeiaho, who have all been named in the starting seventeen.

James Tedesco leads the side from fullback alongside Daniel Tupou, the returning Momirovski, Joseph Manu and Joseph Suaalii making up the rest of the backline while Luke Keary and Sam Walker pair up in the halves.

Manu: "We're Still Building"

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Sam Verrills and Matt Lodge have been named in the front row, while Angus Crichton, Butcher and Victor Radley round off the forward pack and the starting thirteen.

Connor Watson, Egan Butcher, Collins and Taukeiaho have been named on the interchange bench, with Drew Hutchison as 18th man joined by Terrell May, Siua Wong, Fletcher Baker and Oliver Gildart on the extended bench.
