The Sydney Roosters ran out an unconvincing 26-18 victory against the Gold Coast Titans at Allianz Stadium on Monday night.
FINAL SCORE:
Roosters 28
Titants 16
The Sydney Roosters can move into the top four with a win over a Gold Coast Titans side struggling for confidence. Catch all the action on The Roar from 7:00pm (AEST).
The Tricolours head into this game at home after a win over the Dragons and looking for another as the semi-finals near.
The defending champions will be without injured pair Sonny Bill Williams and Jake Friend, but have shown signs in recent weeks that they have the potential to go back-to-back.

Heath L’Estrange gets his first run in the NRL for six years, replacing Friend at hooker.
2014 hasn’t really gone to plan for the Roosters, who have managed 11 wins and eight losses after winning the comp last year, but they remain in the hunt for another post-season appearance.
For the Titans, it has been the reverse. Gold Coast started the season strongly and were early competition front-runners but have fallen away and hard. They have lost their past two games in a row and won just two of their past five.
The Queensland side is floundering in 13th place with 20 points, they are no chance of the wooden spoon but are six points off the top eight.
Already founder Michael Searle and coach John Cartwright have been axed, with this match the last of Cartwright’s reign.
Considering the former Penrith forward has been at the Titans since their 2007 establishment, surely his players will want to send him out a winner before Neil Henry takes over.
Gold Coast will be without Brad Tighe and David Mead but welcome back William Zillman and Kalifa Faifai Loa.
This season has been a horrible one for the Titans and it will take a fair upset away from home tonight for the trend to be reversed.
My tip is that the Roosters will get the win here by at least 10 points.
