NRL Late Mail: Round 7 - Crichton ruled out; Kenny good to go (2025)

The Roosters have been dealt a blow in their bid to topple Penrith for a second time this season withAngus Crichton ruled out of the clash.

Salesi Foketi will replace the NSW and Australian star in the starting side, with Taylor Losalu added to the bench.

The Roosters are optimistic Crichton's injury is only minor and hope he will be available for next week's Anzac Day clash with the Dragons.

Penrith have received a major boost with hooker Mitch Kenny cleared to make his return from a shoulder injury in Saturday's match.

The dummy half will take his place in the starting side for the game at Allianz Stadium after missing last week's loss to the Dolphins.

Warriors: James Fisher-Harris faces at least a month out with a pectoral injury so Jackson Ford goes to the front row. Fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad has entered the concussion protocols so Taine Tuaupiki moves to No.1 and Ed Kosi comes in on the wing. Te Maire Martin has been added to the bench for his first game of the season. Centre Adam Pompey plays his 100th NRL game. No changes in Friday's 24-hour update, with Tanah Boyd and Tanner Stowers-Smith remaining in the extended squad.

Broncos: A double blow for Jack Gosiewski with a one-game suspension for a careless high tackle compounded by a broken arm suffered at training. He has had surgery and is expected to be out for eight weeks. Jordan Riki returns after serving a one-game ban. A new face on the bench with Tyson Smoothy coming in for his first game since Round 20 last year in place of Martin Taupau. The Broncos remain 1-17, with Deine Mariner and Taupau keeping their spots in the reserves.

Titans: Skipper Tino Fa'asuamaleaui is back from suspension while winger Jojo Fifita (thigh) and bench forward Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui (ankle) are also back on deck. After being moved into the starting side last week and playing 74 minutes straight and running for 203 metres, David Fifita is again set to start the game. The Titans have not defeated the Raiders at Cbus Super Stadium since 2018.

Raiders: Back-rower Zac Hosking returns after missing four games with a hand injury so Simi Sasagi drops to the reserves in the only change to the side that downed the Eels. Veteran Josh Papalii has been named on the bench but could well find his way into the starting side come game day.
