Sydney Roosters vs Dolphins Preview

The Roosters’ eight-match winning streak ended with a 25-24 loss to Wests Tigers, dropping them from first to third and tightening the race for a home qualifying final. The Dolphins strengthened their top-four position by beating Parramatta 34-16 and arrive with a settled squad. James Tedesco has again been named for Sydney after three consecutive late withdrawals, while Victor Radley is out following a head knock. The Dolphins retain the combination that handled the Eels and will draw confidence from their emphatic 48-10 win over the Roosters in Round 15. Sydney’s home record and powerful middle make this a demanding assignment, but the visitors’ speed through Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Jamayne Isaako and Selwyn Cobbo can punish any defensive hesitation. The Dolphins are capable of confirming that earlier result with another upset.
