Injuries Hit Foundation Cup Clubs
West Tigers have lost Ben Galea to a hamstring injury, he will be replaced by Bronson Harrison. The Tigers already missing Hodgson and Marshall, will find it tough against a Roosters side now packing some punch.
The Roosters while losing Halfback Josh Lewis (shoulder) and lock Adam Schubert (knee) for the Aussie Stadium trial, are able to throw in Chris Flannery to start at No.13 and Craig Wing on to the bench.
Hooker Wing said he was glad to be getting some match time.
"It was always going to be hard to watch this one from the stands," Wing said.
"The boys have been training the house down since last October and I'm just excited to be kicking-off our 100th year in front of our home fans."
Wing and Flannery will add experience to a young Roosters side attempting to make a winning start in 2007 against the 2005 premiers.
