Roosters NRL and NYC teams for Cowboys clash
Tue July 29, 2008
Sydney Roosters coach Brad Fittler has made two changes from the squad that thumped Manly 34-12 last Sunday for Saturday's clash against the Cowboys.

The Roosters showed why they will be the team to beat when it matters when they put the Sea Eagles through the cleaners in one of the most clinical displays of the season.

Shaun Kenny-Dowall came off after 74 minutes against Manly and is missing for Saturday's clash with Brent Grose coming in as fullback and Amos Roberts shifted to the wing.

Frank-Paul Nuuausala is also missing lasting just 17 minutes. David Shillington returns to the starting side with Lopina Paea taking his spot on the bench.

Anthony Tupou was moved to the bench last week, but has been named in the No.12 jumper and Anthony Cherrington on the bench.

Even without Nuuausala, Kenny-Dowall and suspended forward Nate Myles the Roosters have been able to name a squad and forward line up that is the envy of the NRL. Fittler has his troops in fine form last weekend and showed they can score tries without reverting to the kick.
