Sydney Roosters’ premiership-winning prop Sam Moa says the secret behind Mitchell Pearce and James Maloney’s form surge is Roosters first, rep footy second mindset.

“We had a brief team video and you really just have to worry about how you’re going to play for us because it’s Roosters number one,” Moa said.

“And then when rep round comes around, if they’re selected for NSW it’s obviously NSW then.

“They’re two of our best players, two of our main players, if they play well for us and we get a good result then it only enhances their chances of making NSW.”
