The Sydney Roosters are preparing for the 2026 season in a unique way.
They recently tackled the historic Kokoda Track, a place known for its sacrifices and resilience.
A dedicated group of players and staff faced the challenging 96-kilometre journey in Papua New Guinea's Owen Stanley Range.
This trek not only tested their physical limits but also their character and team unity.
Reaching the track's highest points became a powerful symbol of both physical and mental strength.
The experience at Kokoda is deeply tied to its wartime history; it is where Australian soldiers fought valiantly in 1942.
The Roosters immersed themselves in a narrative of courage, sacrifice, and camaraderie.
For many participants, the trek provided valuable perspective, linking the rigors of elite sport to a cause far beyond the game.
