The Roosters' official website, roosters.com.au, has released a squad update titled "Squad Update: Semi Final vs Storm" to keep the fans informed.
As per the update, the team remains unchanged from the initial Tuesday announcement, with Drew Hutchison and Naufahu Whyte securing spots as the 18th and 19th players, respectively.
This tactical move showcases Robinson's confidence in the selected players and his belief in their ability to take on the formidable Storm.
The coach's decision to finalize the squad well in advance allows the players to focus on their preparation and game plan without any uncertainty or distractions.
The Roosters will be relying on the collective effort and skill of the entire squad to overcome the Storm's challenge and secure a spot in the Grand Final.
With only 19 players available, each member will need to bring their A-game and execute their role to perfection to ensure victory.
The selection of Hutchison and Whyte as the final two players highlights the depth and versatility of the Roosters' squad, providing options for Robinson to make strategic substitutions during the intense encounter.
