ROOSTERS’ ANXIOUS WAIT

THE Sydney Roosters are sweating on the result of scans to prop Sio Siua Taukeiaho’s calf injury which forced the Tongan star off the field just two minutes into his shift in his side’s elimination final win over Gold Coast.

The already undermanned Roosters can ill afford another injury blow ahead their week two finals clash with Manly.

Taukeiaho came into the contest against the Titans in the 27th minute before succumbing to the injury which the Roosters have confirmed is a calf issue.

He will have scans on Monday on the Sunshine Coast and will be monitored during the week.

Also of concern for coach Trent Robinson is the availability of hooker Sam Verrills, who is facing a one-week ban with an early plea for a grade two careless high tackle on Brian Kelly.
