The Sydney Roosters have been on fire in recent weeks, and they’ll be looking to continue their good form when they host the Gold Coast Titans at Central Coast Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 2pm (AEST).

It’s been a strange season at Bondi so far this year, as they have the best for and against in the comp, yet find themselves three wins off the top of the ladder.

The Roosters have only lost one of the last six games, but they did have a four-game losing streak before that. They got a hard-fought win over the Dragons last time out, despite the unwanted publicity surrounding Michael Jennings.

The Titans are still in touch with the eight, despite last week’s shellacking at the hands of the Warriors. It was a close game for the first 40, but the Titans ran out of steam in the second half. With nine regular first graders currently missing for the Titans, this task becomes even more daunting than it already would have been.

The Roosters welcome back two big names this weekend, as both Jennings and Sam Moa take their place in the starting 13. Isaac Liu moves to lock, with Sio Siua Taukeiaho back to an extended bench, with Brendan Elliot and Suaia Matagi.

The Titans lost Aidan Sezer to injury last weekend, meaning Daniel Mortimer moves into the 7 jersey, while Chad Redman starts his first game in Titans colours. Nate Myles returns in the front row, while Eddy Pettybourne will play lock forward. Matt White has been named 18th man.

Prediction
This one could get ugly, as the Roosters have been in superb touch. With the amount of troops the Titans have missing, the Roosters have the potential to put a cricket score on them.

Roosters by 22.
