The Roosters have made some clever acquisitions in the off-season, bolstering their already formidable squad.

With high expectations hanging over them after last year's early exit from the finals, they are determined to make a strong comeback.

Spencer Leniu, a three-time premiership-winning prop, is a valuable addition to their team and is being hailed as one of the best interchange weapons in the competition.

Not to be outdone, Dominic Young, who scored an NRL-high 25 tries last season, brings a formidable presence to the wing.

Teaming up with the towering Daniel Tupou, they are set to form the tallest wing combination in the NRL.

If their young halves, Sam Walker and Luke Keary, can deliver precise kicks to them, it will surely create problems for opposing teams.

This also allows Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii to focus on playing as a dedicated centre this year, further strengthening their backline.

The decision of who will fill the temporary void at prop is still up in the air, with Egan Butcher and Terrell May vying for the position.

However, with Butcher proving himself as a run-on prop in the final three games of last season, coach Trent Robinson is likely to lean towards the proven quantity.
