LIVE UPDATES: The Sydney Roosters and Canberra Raiders meet once again. 9News
"It's going to be a wet and slippery ground at the SCG and I think it'll be a real smash-up," he said."Interested to see how George Williams does. He'll have to really step up with more responsibility with no Josh Hodgson, but I give the Raiders a rough chance. People think the Roosters will roll them."
Roosters legend Brad Fittler said youngster Lachlan Lam on the bench will be a key player for the home side tonight. "I thought he was great when he came on against the Cowboys [last week]. I think he'll just play his role, come on at hooker. If there's any injuries in the halves he can come on and play there," he said.
"But the good thing is he's going to do some tackling, and he'll be doing it around some blokes that have a really high standard. So he'll have to get his head in there and there'll be no allowances for him. "He will grow from this so much, playing in the middle of the field with blokes like Sio Siua Taukeiaho and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves. The level they play at and the demands they put on each other, he will just go through the roof. Whether it's the Roosters he's playing for in the near future or someone else, he'll come through such a better player."
