Show Preview
The Sydney Roosters will look to rebound against a plucky New Zealand Warriors keen on the upset. Stay up to date with their NRL clash with live scores on The Roar from 6:15pm (AEST).
Last week couldn’t have gone any worse for the Roosters. They lost to their arch rivals, South Sydney, 26-16 and lost halfback Luke Keary for the year with an ACL injury. Now, it’s young prodigy Sam Walker’s time to show Trent Robinson what he’s made of as he lines up with Drew Hutchison in a new-look halves pairing. Their imperious first fortnight means they’ve got plenty of cushion, but they’ll want to prove to the doubters they’re still a force.
Life under Nathan Brown continued its surprising start for the Warriors last week as they pulled off an incredible, albeit controversial, comeback win over Canberra. The Warriors have been highly competitive in all three matches so far in 2021 – two of them wins – and will be looking to defy the odds once more and continue their unexpected stay in the top eight.
The Roosters have won their last three matches against the Warriors, including last year’s only meeting 18-10. The Chooks also have an extraordinary record at the SCG since readopting it as their home ground, winning 15 of 19 matches since the start of 2019.
