Trent Robinson says the Sydney Roosters are waiting on Connor Watson’s status and that the club’s next steps depend on whether he can be approved to play in the grand final. Robinson’s comments indicate the matter is not settled yet, and the decision will be shaped by the approval process rather than a confirmed return.
All outlets describe Robinson explaining that the Roosters are set to assess what can be done to have Watson available, while also acknowledging uncertainty about his availability. The reports agree that the club is taking a “watch this space” approach—suggesting updates will follow once the relevant checks and approvals are completed.
While the overall message is consistent across outlets, the articles differ slightly in emphasis: some focus more on Robinson’s uncertainty, while others highlight the club’s planned process for seeking approval. However, they all point to the same core issue—Watson’s potential inclusion in the grand final remains contingent on approval and timing.
