Roosters Hunt for New Coaching Stars | Australia News

The Roosters are set to reshuffle their coaching staff for 2027 as Matt King heads to the Blues and Michael Cheika eyes a return to rugby union, leaving two key assistant roles open. But don’t worry — they’ve got club legends ready to step up: Boyd Cordner (who’s already led SG Ball to back-to-back titles), Jake Friend (deep in forwards development), and Brett Morris (coaching since retirement). Players like Nat Butcher and Billy Smith praise their wisdom and leadership, seeing their firsthand experience as invaluable. With past assistants like Craig Fitzgibbon and Jason Ryles rising to head coach roles, the Roosters’ pipeline is strong. Whether they pick from within or beyond, fans can expect a smart, veteran-driven future that honors the club’s DNA.
