The Sydney Roosters are dealing with a significant loss of experience and talent in the 2025 season, with key players departing for other clubs or codes.
This has left the team struggling and facing fears of a last-place finish.
In an attempt to bolster their squad, the Roosters are looking to sign Francis Molo from the Dragons, who has not been training with his current club after a falling out.
Fans have questioned why the Roosters let Terrell May leave for the Wests Tigers if Molo could have been a solution.
Jarome Luai and Lachie Galvin, Tigers halves, have been linked to the Parramatta Eels as possible replacements for Dylan Brown.
The Roosters have also been linked to other players in their search for reinforcements, such as Ben Hunt and Ryan Papenhuyzen, but have been unsuccessful in securing them.
Meanwhile, Mikaele Ravalawa of the Dragons is reportedly undergoing a medical with South Sydney, as he has fallen out of favor with his current coach and could provide much-needed depth to the Rabbitohs' outside backs.
The Roosters' struggles culminated in a heavy defeat to the Broncos in Round 1, highlighting the challenges they face in the season ahead.
To address their issues and strengthen their squad, the Roosters are exploring various options, including signing Molo and considering Luai and Galvin as potential recruits.
The offseason departures of key players have left the Roosters with significant gaps in their lineup, and they are working to rectify this situation to avoid a disappointing finish to the season.
