The Sydney Roosters have today announced that the Club's Round 12 fixture against the Canberra Raiders has been relocated to Central Coast Stadium, Gosford.

Following consultation with VenuesWest and other WA authorities, the Roosters have relocated the fixture originally scheduled to be played at HBF Park Perth, due to the current COVID-19 landscape and shifting nature of border closures.

As consequence, the Roosters will now play an additional home game at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in 2021, with the Club's Round 5 match against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks relocated from Central Coast Stadium to the SCG.

We're committed to taking a home game to Perth in 2022 and we will keep Roosters Members and stakeholders updated with any future updates
- Jarrod Johnstone, Sydney Roosters COO

"While we're disappointed to not be taking a game to Perth in 2021, we have determined this as the best course of action given the ever-changing COVID-19 landscape," said Sydney Roosters COO Jarrod Johnstone.

"Having said that, we're committed to taking a home game to Perth in 2022 and we will keep Roosters Members and stakeholders updated with any future updates," added Mr Johnstone.
