I’m Leaving: Sydney Roosters in Shock as Key Player Lindsay Collins Requests Trade, Warns James Tedesco of What’s Coming
In a stunning development that has rocked the Sydney Roosters, star forward Lindsay Collins has officially requested a trade, sending shockwaves through the club. The Roosters, who have long relied on Collins’ strength and leadership in the front row, now face the daunting task of potentially losing one of their most valuable assets.
The news comes amid growing tensions behind the scenes, with Collins reportedly dissatisfied with the direction of the club. Sources close to the situation suggest that Collins has also issued a stern warning to Roosters captain James Tedesco, hinting at further disruptions on the horizon.
“I’m leaving,” Collins allegedly told teammates during a private conversation. “This is just the beginning—there’s more coming, and Tedesco should brace himself.”
The specifics of Collins’ grievances remain unclear, but insiders believe the star prop has grown frustrated with management decisions and a perceived lack of support from senior players. His warning to Tedesco hints at deeper unrest within the squad, raising concerns about a possible rift between key members of the team.
The timing of Collins’ request comes as a major blow to the Roosters, who are preparing for a critical period of rebuilding after a lackluster season. Losing Collins would leave a significant gap in the team’s forward pack, and his exit could trigger further departures.
Roosters coach Trent Robinson has yet to comment publicly, but sources suggest that efforts to keep Collins at the club are already underway. However, with Collins’ firm stance and the warning to Tedesco, it’s unclear whether those efforts will be enough to keep the forward in Bondi.
As the situation unfolds, the Roosters are left to wonder whether this is the first domino to fall in what could become a larger player exodus. For now, all eyes are on Collins and his next move—one that could reshape the club’s future and shake the NRL landscape.
