Show Preview
Two heavyweights collide as the Roosters host the Storm in Sydney, with both sides coming off narrow wins last week. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:50pm (AEST).
Both these teams are coming off last start wins so this one promises to be an exciting encounter. Two premiership points tonight could prove pivotal at the end of the season when top 8 spots are up for grabs for these two heavyweights.
The Roosters are bolstered with James Tedesco back on deck in the 1, shifting Joey Manu back to centre and Joseph Suaalii to the wing. Sam Walker makes the extended bench as he recovers in concussion protocols.
Tui Kamikamica has been sidelined with a calf injury for the Storm, opening the door for Nelson Asofa-Solomona to be recalled from the NSW Cup. Joe Chan comes in for Tepai Moeroa.
This is a toss of the coin job but, at home, I will take the Roosters in a thriller. Roosters by 2
