5. Shaun Kenny-Dowall
6. Braith Anasta
7. Mitchell Pearce

11. Willie Mason
12. Setaimata Sa
13. Craig Fitzgibbon

14. Riley Brown
15. Lopini Paea
16. Jordan Tansey
17. Nate Myles

With Shane Shackleton, Jake Friend, Brent Grose, Anthony Cherrington and Ben Jones as squad players.

Roosters will miss Amos Roberts, David Shillington and Anthony Tupou this season but will make the top 8 no problem.

My thoughts change week to week. I won't become any more consistent till several rounds into the season, so with that in mind...

Canberra Raiders

1. David Milne
2. Justin Carney
3. Phil Graham
4. Joel Monaghan
5. Adrian Purtell
6. Terry Campese
7. Marc Herbert
8. Dane Tilse
9. Glenn Buttriss
10. David Shillington
11. Joe Picker
12. Bronson Harrison
13. Alan Tongue (c)

14. Stuart Flanagan
15. Trevor Thurling
16. Tom Learoyd-Lahrs
17. Josh Miller

Our depth in the forwards tempts me to leave Flanagan out, but I want to see how he goes first.

IMO Anasta will stay at 6 with Fitzgibbon playing at loose forward.

He will play 13, he's at lock for the Wests game, as they even said they want to continue with him playing there....

Anasta at 13 wasnt based on them obtaining Carney, as they wanted to give Ben Jones and Setaimata Sa time in the halves, although as this leaves Mitchell Pearce with more responsbility you might see Anasta head back there at some point.

I suppose Setaimata Sa would be a decent 6 but he would have to adapt from a centre/back rower.

Its going to be an interesting year for the Roosters, they have lost qaulity and will be relying on a few kids this year..

They'll certainly miss Amos Roberts and Anthony Tupou.
