The Sydney Roosters Nines jersey is an acknowledgement of Fremantle RLC, the local (WA) 'Roosters' club. They're using Fremantle's jersey design that they've been using for several years. They will be training at Freo's ground and doing training sessions with the Freo juniors. Fremantle have been using an almost replica version of the Sydney Roosters logo for a long time now, so maybe this is a bit of a trade-off..!
The only other WA First Grade clubs that share a name (and also colours) with current NRL clubs are Rockingham Sharks, Ellenbrook Rabbitohs, and Nth Beach Sea Eagles.
Two other WA First Grade clubs share their colours with NRL clubs (Joondalup Giants = Brisbane, Sth Perth Lions = St.George-Illawarra), while Willagee Bears go it alone since the demise of North Sydney.
It would be awesome for the local WA teams to be tied-in in this fashion with the NRL clubs' Nines kits, but I personally don't know if I'd like seeing Darius Boyd running around in a Joondalup-inspired jersey I designed!!
