The Sydney Roosters are celebrating another piece of NRL history after defeating the Newcastle Knights 19–18 in a dramatic 2026 Grand Final — but attention has already turned to a major change coming to the squad.
The Roosters fought back from an early 12–0 deficit to claim their 16th premiership, with Mark Nawaqanitawase scoring twice and James Tedesco producing a huge performance to win the Clive Churchill Medal.
