The Sydney Roosters have officially announced their senior representative teams for upcoming matches on Sunday, July 6, 2025.
Coach Dean Feeney has named the team for the Jersey Flegg Cup clash against Parramatta at Wentworth Park.
Similarly, NSW Cup Coach Brett Morris has also prepared his lineup for the same match.
There have been significant changes to the NSW Cup team, particularly following their recent defeat to the Western Suburbs Magpies, as many regular players have been called up for NRL duty and others are sidelined due to injuries.
Fullback Ethan King and forwards Taylor Losalu, Makahesi Makatoa, De La Salle Va'a, and Max McCathie have been selected for NRL responsibilities.
Additionally, five-eighth Jake Elliott (ankle) and prop Xavier Va'a (concussion) will miss out due to injuries sustained in last week's match.
Winger Tom Rodwell, who was absent in the previous game, will also be sidelined as he joins McCathie in making his NRL debut.
In a shake-up of the backline, Owen Flaherty will transition from left center to fullback, while Lachlan Dooner, who recently returned from injury in the Jersey Flegg Cup, will step in to take Flaherty's place at left center.
