The former player-coach of the Roosters held talks last week with club president Peter Speakman to discuss a possible comeback.

Liberatore, 44, has kept fit by playing in an over-40s Superules competition.

The 283-game VFL/AFL legend would be a welcome addition to a Roosters team lacking in experience.

"There's talk he might come back," Roosters coach Norm Heath said.

"We'll have to see if he turns up to training or not.

"He will add a coaching-type voice and a bit of direction out on the ground if he decides to play."

Heath was forced to send out an inexperienced line-up for the clash with Altona Vikings at JK Grant Reserve on Saturday.

Not surprisingly, the youthful Roosters were no match and succumbed in a one-sided contest by 205 points.

"We do have a lot of injuries at the moment," Heath said.

"That is the worst game we've played all year."

There were few positives for the Roosters.

One bright spot was the performance of ruckman Mohammed Jawad. He enjoyed a great individual battle with Vikings big man Riak Riak.

It was at ground level where the Roosters broke down.

"He won the ruck all day but we didn't take it out of the centre or around the ground," Heath said.

The Roosters could have 'Libba' on board for this week's imposing match-up with top-of-the-table Spotswood at Shorten Reserve.

They will not have to await any paperwork should he become available.

"We don't have to clear him because he was our player last year," Heath said.

The Vikings are on cloud nine after consecutive percentage-boosting wins.

Josh Russo carved it up in the midfield for the Vikings, while Salesi Uhi (seven goals) and Sam Mason (five) had days out in the forward line.

The Anthony Eames-coached team sits fourth on the ladder with the second-best percentage in the league. They will engage in much tougher test on the road at second-placed St Albans in the match of the round on Saturday.
