The Sydney Roosters coach says his team is not distracted by media revelations of alleged doping by players ahead of tonight's preliminary final against Newcastle.

Several players including Kiwis winger Roger Tuivasa Shek were reported to have returned anomalous blood tests, however, the National Rugby League has since given the club the all clear.

The coach Trent Robinson says his team has closed ranks and is focused on tonight's match.
