Sydney Roosters owner Nick Politis has recently spoken to NRL.com about how he believes that over the next couple of years the Roosters will have to lose a couple of big name players.

Here’s what Politis had to say to NRL.com:

“We obviously want to keep a winning team together, who wouldn’t?

But it’s really hard with the salary cap.

Every year we lose a couple.

Next year Cooper goes and in our salary cap a few guys will be bumped up and deservedly so.”

On November 1st Jake Friend, who is rumoured to be moving to the Bulldogs and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, who is rumoured to be moving to the Panthers and Mitchell Aubusson will be off-contract and able to negotiate with other clubs.

On November 1st 2020 Joseph Manu, Latrell Mitchell, Siosiua Taukeiaho, Brett Morris and Nat Butcher will also be off contract.
