Game Overview
The Sydney Roosters will host the Wests Tigers at Allianz Stadium in a Round 18 NRL clash. The Roosters are currently 6th on the ladder, while the Tigers sit in 14th place, struggling with a six-game losing streak. The Roosters have a long-standing dominance over the Tigers historically and look to continue their strong form despite missing key Origin players. The Tigers are desperate for a win to avoid the wooden spoon and turnaround their poor season.
Key Factors to Consider
- Sydney Roosters have a strong record against Wests Tigers, winning 18 of the past 19 encounters. Roosters winger Mark Nawaqanitawase and Daniel Tupou have been prolific try scorers recently. Wests Tigers have notable individual form from centre Starford To’a and winger Sunia Turuva, but their overall team form is poor with six consecutive losses.
- Historically, the Roosters dominate the matchup, winning 18 of the last 19 matches between the two teams. This trend heavily favors the Roosters in this fixture.
- Roosters are without several Origin stars including Angus Crichton, Connor Watson, Lindsay Collins, and Spencer Leniu. Egan Butcher returns from concussion, and Tom Rodwell and Max McCathie make their first-grade debuts. Tigers are missing Jarome Luai (NSW Origin) and Api Koroisau (concussion), balancing some of the absences.
- The match is part of a double-header event at Allianz Stadium with large expected crowds and strong support for both NRL and AFL fans. The venue and atmosphere will be vibrant, potentially favoring the home side.
- Roosters aim to solidify their finals position and maintain dominance over a struggling Tigers side. Tigers face immense pressure to break their losing streak and avoid the wooden spoon, adding motivation but also pressure.
