The Roosters are considering signing out-of-favour Bulldogs hooker Michael Lichaa following the long-term injury to Jake Friend.
The 25-year-old Lebanese international was dropped by Bulldogs coach Dean Pay last weekend, replaced by former Shark Nu Brown.
The Roosters will be without Friend for up to four months with a bicep tear.
Regular back-rower Victor Radley has been filling in at hooker in Friend’s absence in recent weeks.
The Bulldogs are believed to be prepared to let Lichaa go if the two clubs can come up with an agreement.
Lichaa has been at the Bulldogs since 2015 after making his debut for his junior club Cronulla the previous year.
He responded well to being dropped to NSW Cup, running nearly 150 metres and scoring a try last weekend.
