Powerhouse prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves tuned up for his timely return to the Roosters with a 30-minute hit-out in the NSW Cup, as teammate Michael Jennings revealed he was eyeing an NRL comeback at 35.
“It would be really nice having around and playing together,” said Waerea-Hargreaves, who returns from his own a seven-match ban against Manly next Sunday. “I listened to Mundine yesterday, and in the heat of the battle, a few things go on. He’s owned what he said, and hopefully the punishment isn’t too hard. We’re all rooting for him.”Such is the depth at the Roosters that they can lose a three-time premiership winner and replace him with a fellow standover man who has also won three titles.
Jennings joked he had to call Robinson the morning after the get-together to make sure it was not the beer talking, and he was serious.“I didn’t think I’d be coming back and giving it one last crack,” Jennings said. “It was very hard during those three years – it was very, very, very hard, and a very tough three years, I can tell you that. I definitely want to play NRL. But there are a few more steps I need to take with the NRL to get back to that.
