<\/a><\/p>\nThe breakout star of this season and Dally M rookie of the year, Toia debuted in the opening round before starring in Queensland’s State of Origin series win.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old’s re-signing comes as the Roosters prepare for changes to their backline, with Mark Nawaqanitawase returning to rugby in 2027 and Daniel Tupou aged 34.<\/p>\n
Manly centre Reuben Garrick is expected to sign with the Roosters for 2027 after knocking back an offer from the Sea Eagles.<\/p>\n

Fellow Sea Eagle Tommy Talau is also expected to join the Roosters next season after he and Manly were unable to find middle ground on a deal for 2026.<\/p>\n
By the time Toia’s new contract ends in 2029, Roosters fullback James Tedesco will be approaching his 37th birthday.<\/p>\n
Toia’s brilliant 2025 season came after he had long been heralded as a talent by coach Trent Robinson, while battling two separate ACL ruptures in recent years.<\/p>\n
“The Roosters have believed in me from the start and stood by me through some setbacks along the way,” Toia said.<\/p>\n
“The trust and belief from Robbo, my teammates and everyone at the club … has always meant a lot to me and made the Roosters feel like home.<\/p>\n
“The confidence I took out of 2025 has made me even hungrier to keep improving. I’m so proud to stay a Rooster, and I’ll be giving everything I have back to this club.”<\/p>\n
Fellow Roosters centre Billy Smith is also contracted at the club until the end of 2027, while the luckless Cody Ramsey has started pre-season training after moving from St George Illawarra.<\/p>\n
Ramsey has not played in the NRL since falling ill with ulcerative colitis in 2022, but made his return to NSW Cup at the Dragons last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert Toia will remain at the Sydney Roosters until the end of 2029, after the Tri-colours ensured the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":313386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-313385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
