Long-serving and highly successful prop Lindsay Collins has officially announced his resignation, submitting his letter to club executives with immediate effect.
BREAKING NEWS: Roosters Rocked by Shock Collins Resignation
According to sources close to the club, the announcement came during what was believed to be a routine football operations meeting at the Roosters’ headquarters. Collins, a cornerstone of the club’s forward pack and a fan favourite, reportedly stood, thanked staff and teammates for their support over the years, and calmly confirmed his decision before leaving the room in silence. The reasons behind the sudden move remain unclear.
The Roosters released a brief statement moments later, saying:
“The Sydney Roosters acknowledge the resignation of Lindsay Collins, effective immediately. Lindsay has been an integral part of our club’s recent success, and we respect his decision. Further comment will be made in due course.”
Players were said to be left stunned by the news, with several teammates learning of the resignation through social media. One senior player, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the mood as “numb,” adding, “This is the last thing anyone saw coming. Lindsay is the heartbeat of our pack.”
Speculation has already begun to swirl across the rugby league landscape, with theories ranging from a surprise code switch to an off-field opportunity completely outside the game. Whatever the reason, Collins’ abrupt departure leaves a massive hole in the Roosters’ forward rotation and raises serious questions about the club’s immediate plans moving forward.
As fans and pundits scramble for answers, one thing is certain: this is a developing story that has just rewritten the narrative of the NRL season in dramatic fashion.
