As the Stormers gear up for the new rugby season, head coach John Dobson has thrown his support behind returning loose forward Evan Roos, highlighting the young star’s impact both on and off the field.

Roos, who missed a portion of the previous campaign due to injury, is now fully fit — and already making waves in preseason training.

“He brings energy that lifts the whole squad,” Dobson said.
“He’s got the physicality and the hunger — we just need to keep him firing.”

The coach’s remarks underline just how crucial Roos is to the Stormers’ engine room. Known for his aggressive ball-carrying and relentless work rate, Roos is expected to play
a central role in the team’s ambitions this season.

Dobson’s praise suggests not only faith in Roos’s fitness but a challenge to stay consistent and injury-free — key factors if the Stormers hope to challenge for silverware.

With the squad pushing toward a championship mindset, the return of a fully charged Evan Roos may be one of the biggest boosts the Stormers could ask for.
