Final score
Sydney Roosters 34
Gold Coast Titans 14
The Sydney Roosters are looking to consolidate their top-eight spot when they host the Gold Coast Titans at Central Coast Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match from 3pm (AEST).
The seventh-placed Roosters are coming off the back of a loss against the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium, while the Titans snapped a five-match losing streak with a win over Newcastle at home on the Gold Coast.
This week’s match will be the last chance for Origin hopefuls in both teams to push their claims for selection for Game 1. For the Roosters, that includes Latrell Mitchell, Luke Keary, James Tedesco, Blake Ferguson, Jake Friend, Dylan Napa and Boyd Cordner.
Players with genuine claims from the Titans include Jarrod Wallace, Jai Arrow, Ryan James and Ash Taylor.
Tricolours coach Trent Robinson has named an unchanged line-up, with Dylan Napa escaping any further penalty for his jaw-breaking shot on Broncos forward Korbin Sims last week.
Kevin Proctor returns in the backrow for the Titans, after overcoming a groin injury, pushing Max King back to the bench.
Prediction
The home side’s superior defence will give them the edge, with their opponents conceding an average of 26 points a game this season.
Roosters by 10.
