Roosters coach Trent Robinson has confirmed that star centre Joseph Manu will sit out Friday night’s game after picking up a hamstring injury last week.
Roosters coach Trent Robinson says Joseph Manu will not play in the team’s do-or-die final-round clash with South Sydney after picking up a hamstring injury in last week’s clash against the Tigers.
“I like the fact that the medical staff [said] there’s a small percentage chance ... they said ‘look, name him, we’ll do what we can to see if we can get him through’. But not enough to get through to the game.”If the Roosters make the finals, Robinson said Manu would be available to play next week. But with him out this week, Corey Allan will start in the centres alongside Billy Smith.
“They’re all big, they’re always big. I think the context around it makes it really exciting. Winner-takes-all there is pretty clear,” Robinson said.“We could be playing Camden Rams this week for a spot in the finals, and it wouldn’t make any difference as far as opposition. “I think it’s only natural to be that way [angry about it]. That doesn’t change the way I think about him or the care I have for him, but of course, you’re angry because you represent the club, and we’re all fighting for something, and for him not to be there to be a part of that is disappointing.”
