The latest news from the Sydney Roosters website has them reporting on the dynamic duo of Isabelle Kelly and Tarryn Aiken, who are embracing their new partnership in the halves following the unfortunate loss of Corban Baxter, the NSW Origin five-eighth.

Kelly, typically a standout in the centres both at club and representative levels, was set to make a shift to fullback.

However, with the return of Sam Bremner from retirement due to Baxter's injury, Kelly has seamlessly transitioned to the five-eighth position.

Named once again at five-eighth for the upcoming clash with the Wests Tigers, Kelly seems set to continue in the No.6 jersey.

She expressed that Roosters coach John Strange wanted her in the thick of the action, closer to the heart of the game.

Bremner's return has injected a new sense of confidence into the team, with the former Jillaroos captain fitting seamlessly into the fullback role in their recent victory over the Broncos.

The Roosters are ready to tackle their next challenge head-on, with Kelly and Aiken leading the charge in the halves like a well-oiled machine on the field.
