Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters Preview
The high-flying Brisbane Broncos will be aiming to extend their strong start to the 2025 season when they take on the Sydney Roosters for the second time this year.
In their Round 1 clash, the Broncos sent a clear message to the competition with a dominant 50-14 win. Since then, they’ve largely kept up the momentum—most recently blowing past the Tigers with a 32-12 second-half blitz.
The Roosters, meanwhile, bounced back from that opening loss with a stunning upset over the Panthers, but things have unraveled since then. Three straight defeats have dropped them to 16th on the ladder.
In response, Sydney has made a bold move, dropping veteran Chad Townsend and handing young halfback Hugo Savala his first NRL start. They’ve also lost Lindsay Collins to injury for six weeks, prompting Nat Butcher to shift to prop and Victor Radley to return at lock.
For the Broncos, Jaiyden Hunt steps into the starting side to replace the suspended Brendan Piakura.
