Sydney Roosters have surged back to their premiership winning form of 2013 with a comprehensive 34-14 Anzac Day victory over St George Illawarra at Allianz Stadium on Friday.

However the win could come at a cost for the tri-colours with Michael Jennings limping off with an ankle injury in the 73rd minute and James Maloney (shoulder) following him soon after.

Maloney was only a precaution the Grandstand boys said (was on my way home )

On the box he said the chooks doctor looked at him and told him it was probably a grade two injury.

Injuries to key NSW candidates James Maloney and Michael Jennings have the potential to throw Laurie Daley's Origin preparations into disarray as the Roosters turned in what Trent Robinson deemed their best performance of the year thus far.

Maloney could be facing up to six weeks on the sidelines if scans confirm a suspected Grade 2 AC joint injury to his left shoulder sustained late in the Roosters' 34-14 win over the Dragons, which would rule him out of the interstate series opener at Suncorp Stadium on May 28th.

Roosters doctor Ameer Ibrahim said the injury would take at least 2-3 weeks to heal, making Maloney unavailable for next Sunday's City Country clash in Dubbo.

Ibrahim confirmed Jennings, the incumbent NSW left centre, would also miss the Origin trial with a medial ligament sprain in his ankle, an injury likely to keep Jennings out of action for 1-2 weeks.

They will take some beating regardless of the side they put on the field. Their forward pack was strong today, particularly the backrow.

The Roosters forwards were incredibly good yesterday.Almost robotic like. It's going to be a great battle with our boys. Can't wait
