Sydney Roosters hooker Jake Friend admits it will be a gamble to take the field in the NRL grand final after two months out but is bullish about being fit.

Friend has missed the last 10 weeks with a fractured forearm and calf injury but is in line to play against Canberra in Sunday's season decider at ANZ Stadium.

Coach Trent Robinson has Sam Verrills waiting in the wings if he isn't passed fit, but Friend admits he will be rolling the dice by playing.
