Penrith Panthers vs Sydney Roosters Preview

Round 24 opens with a top-of-the-table contest carrying major minor-premiership implications. Sydney arrives on an eight-match winning run after overturning a 10-point deficit to beat Canterbury 20-18, while Penrith has lost four of its past seven and was beaten 28-12 by the Warriors. The Panthers must adjust without Isaah Yeo, with Lindsay Smith moving to lock and Liam Henry starting at prop, although Jack Cogger returns in the halves. James Tedesco’s comeback strengthens a Roosters side that has gathered momentum, but Penrith has dominated this rivalry, winning 12 of the past 13 meetings and routing Sydney 40-4 in Round 3. Nathan Cleary’s duel with Sam Walker should shape a high-quality, tightly fought game.
