Preview:
The competition favourites got a rude awakening at the SCG last Friday night as the Bunnies got a hold of them in the second half to win by 10 points. Chooks coach Trent Robinson has avoided making changes to his starting 17 despite the loss. Sea Eagles coach Des Hasler returns to coach his first game at Lottoland in his second stint with the Northern Beaches club after a 20-8 first up loss to Wests. The Sea Eagles conceded nearly 26 points per game a year ago, the most in the NRL, and their defence looks just as leaky this season. Their back five lack explosiveness, particularly without New South Wales representative Tom Trbojevic. The Roosters rattled off 56 points against Manly at Lottoland a season ago and The Wolf thinks they could put on a big score again, particularly in they get a fast start. The Roosters won’t muck around and will win by double digits.
