Parramatta continue to struggle this season and in the past two weeks, have experienced heavy losses of 20 points to St. George in 10 and 38 points when playing the Titans in their most recent match in Round 11 a fortnight ago.

Having the bye last week, they’ll need to have found something miraculous if they are to overcome the Sydney Roosters, whom they last to 50-0 earlier this year.

On their most recent efforts, a similar score line could be on the cards again this weekend.
The only positive you can throw up for Parramatta, is that all three of their wins this season, have come from their four games at Parramatta Stadium.

Sydney Roosters sit third on the competition ladder, with eight wins from eleven games.

Their third loss of the season came against Melbourne in their most recent game (26-18) and broke a five game winning streak.

Although several Roosters will be backing up from Wednesday night’s State of Origin, they’ll be too strong for a Parramatta outfit that has offered little in recent weeks.

Note three of the last four clashes between these two sides, including the two most recent, have resulted in total match points exceeding 50.
