Preview:
Six straight wins has the Roosters primed for another Grand Final spot despite a tricky run home to close out the season.
Sydney will host the Panthers on Saturday night in a game that holds plenty of ladder implications.
A win for the Roosters and a Storm loss to Manly could make the race for top of the ladder very interesting in the final round of the season, while the Panthers now face a must-win game if they hold any hope of finishing inside the eight.
Two straight losses make it tough to trust Penrith, especially after last week’s uninspired effort up in North Queensland. On the plus side, the Panthers do own a win over the Roosters this year back in Round 13.
For Sydney, this is a chance to send another massive statement like the one they sent out last week against the Dragons. The Roosters won comfortably 34-12 over St. George, and with a 5-2 record as the home favourite against the Panthers, it’s tough to fade Sydney this week in the market.
The Rooster can win this game easily be challenging the Panthers defence with plenty of offloads. Penrith leads the league in missed tackles this year and also ranks first in penalties, so if Sydney can create plenty of breakaway opportunities, look out.
