Every NRL club’s secret Christmas wish for the 2022 season 🌲🌲🌲 STORY 👉
For such a squeaky clean club, this off-season has been a real doozy at the Storm.
Just as the dust had settled on that saga, Smith went on a now-infamous podcast and declared he’d love to win a premiership in a Roosters jersey, while also boasting about the Storm’s heavy drinking culture. Staying hungry and picking up where they left off will be a tough ask for Ivan Cleary’s men as the hunters become the hunted in 2021.
However, South Sydney differs from those other train wrecks in that for the first time Bennett has effectively picked his successor in Jason Demetriou. The fact the Roosters managed to play finals let alone win through to the second week was remarkable given their injury toll.The carnage started in round three when Luke Keary and Lindsay Collins suffered season-ending ACL injuries.Jake Friend and Boyd Cordner were forced into retirement, while Joey Manu and Joseph Suaalii had their seasons end early, just to name a few.If they can stay healthy in 2022, they’ll contend for a third premiership in five years.
Pearce was an integral part of the Knights who struggled without him in the middle of 2021 when he was sidelined for 10 weeks through injury. The wrecking ball in attack can go missing at times in defence and in his 22 games last season, Fifita came off the pine in eight. Fitzgibbon was an assistant for the Roosters’ 2013, 2018 and 2019 premierships. In 2013, he was responsible for the club’s famous “Great Wall of Bondi” defence.
