Yesterday I removed all 16 rollers (one at a time) greased the shafts and sides of the rollers and spaced the rollers (using galvanised washers) so they stayed more in line with the keel.
I can now move the boat back and forward while on land.
The next launch should be a lot easier. None of the rollers were frozen but they were difficult to rotate - now they spin freely.
The zinc plated split pins were all I could get so if I had to use them I swapped them up front where the trailer doesn't get immersed.
