The Roosters have advanced to the top eight and are in a position to play in the finals for the sixth consecutive year thanks to their current five-game winning streak. The Roosters are looking every bit a title contender with James Tedesco in outstanding form and their forwards working tirelessly in the middle, but they still face some formidable obstacles.
On Saturday night, the faltering Tigers are expected to be easily defeated by them, but the Storm and Rabbitohs will present much tougher competition in the final two games of the regular season. The Tigers must play their best rugby against the Roosters, Dragons, and Raiders in their final three games if they are to escape the joint venture’s first-ever wooden spoon after dropping to last due to their defeat to Cronulla.
