Some news travels fast, and this one took the scenic route.<\/p>\n
The Roosters have officially announced the extension of Siua Wong<\/a> on a two-year deal on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n The only catch is that everyone who follows the game closely had already known for three months.<\/p>\n Zero Tackle’s Scott Pryde broke the story in March after publishing a list of top players still without a contract beyond 2026 with Wong’s name on it, when a well-placed Roosters source got in touch to point out that the Roosters backrower had quietly extended his contract.<\/p>\n Within an hour of that tip landing, the NRL’s own official signing tracker had been updated to reflect exactly that.<\/p>\n A product of the Roosters Academy, Wong became the first player to progress through the club’s academy program and earn selection in the Roosters’ NRL<\/a> side.<\/p>\n “The Roosters have been a huge part of my life for a long time, so it’s really special to be able to extend my time here,” Wong said in the club’s press release.<\/p>\n “I’ve come through the Academy and been fortunate to learn from so many great coaches, staff and players along the way. This Club has helped shape me both as a footballer and as a person.<\/p>\n “I’m proud to represent the Roosters and excited about what we’re building as a group. I can’t wait to keep working hard and hopefully contribute to more success for the Club over the coming years,” he added.<\/p>\n Sydney Roosters<\/a> Director of Football Mitchell Aubusson<\/a> said Wong’s extension was a priority for the club.<\/p>\n
