The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce the line-up for Saturday afternoon’s Round 21 clash with the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium.

The match will be the 24th encounter between the Roosters and Titans and the first of two consecutive fixtures in Queensland for the Red, White and Blue, who will take on the Broncos at The Gabba in Round 22.

Trent Robinson has made two changes to the line-up this week, with Captain James Tedesco returning at fullback and Terrell May replacing Naufahu Whyte, who sustained a Grade 2 MCL strain last week, on the interchange bench.

The Skipper’s inclusion sees Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii move back to the wing, with Daniel Tupou also featuring in the backline as he continues to edge closer to the Club’s all-time try-scoring record. Joseph Manu and Billy Smith are the centre pairing.

Tupou: 'It's Very Special'

Luke Keary and Sandon Smith continue their combination in the halves, while Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Jake Turpin and Lindsay Collins make up the front row.

The starting side is rounded off with Victor Radley, Nat Butcher and Nathan Brown in the back row.

Brandon Smith, Egan Butcher, Siua Wong and May have been named on the interchange bench, while Corey Allan, Dylan Napa, Drew Hutchison, Fetalaiga Pauga and Fletcher Baker complete the line-up on the extended bench.
