NATIONAL Rugby League champions the Sydney Roosters have named a powerful squad to take on St Helens in the annual World Club Challenge at the Reebok Stadium in February.

Several newcomers are also given their chance to impress Stuart ahead of the team's opening NRL match on 14 March.

Full squad: Todd Byrne, Ned Catic, Jason Cayless, Michael Crocker, Peter Cusack, Brett Finch, Brad Fittler, Craig Fitzgibbon, Chris Flannery, Shannon Hegarty, Justin Hodges, Andrew Lomu, Andrew Mercer, Anthony Minichiello, Adrian Morley, Todd Payten, Luke Ricketson, Chad Robinson, Dave Shillington, Craig Wing.
