Tattoo mania: Take a look at the heavily inked Sydney Roosters Jared Waerea-Hargraves and Jake Friend at Bondi Beach. Picture: Porteous Gregg Source: DailyTelegraph TO a rugby league outsider it could appear that you need two things to play for the Roosters: tattoos and a hyphen. Sonny Bill Williams. Sonny Bill-Williams: The cross-code superstar has helped power the Roosters to the top of the table this season, mixing power with the skills of a five-eighth. Having arrived amid massive hype, having won an NRL premiership with the Bulldogs and a Rugby World Cup with the All Blacks, he has emphatically delivered. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves right during a Sydney Roosters pool training session at the Allianz Stadium, today. Picture: Lloyd Justin Source: DailyTelegraph Jared Waerea-Hargreaves: Roosters enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was so worried about looking great in the mirror that his game had lost its grunt. The big man stopped worrying about the abs and packed on the pounds and now weighs a whopping 121kg. Just gives him a bit more skin to colour in I reckon. Tattooed NRL player Shaun Kenny-Dowall from the Sydney Roosters.

We reckon the "different approach in the gym and he really wanted us to work on our midsection and legs - more Olympic lifting, deadlifts, snatches" has worked a treat. Frank-Paul Nuuausala.

Heavily inked Rooster Jake Friend. Jake Friend: Okay so no hyphen but plenty of ink on one of the feel good redemption stories that rugby league does so well. Only a couple of years ago Friend was washing dishes out the back of a Surry Hills sandwich shop and wondering if his NRL career was down the drain. Friend, rediscovered his passion for the game, pledged to clean up his act and was resigned by the Roosters. In a few days he'll be playing in the grand final. Now tatt's amazing. Roosters halfback Mitchell Pearce.

Roosters say they're more confident and better prepared going in to this year's Grand Final. Picture: Evans Mark Source: DailyTelegraph (L-R) Shaun Kenny-Dowell and Jared Waerea-Hargraves.
