Sydney Roosters VS South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL Preview
With the fierce local rivalry you expect between two native Sydney teams, Friday’s NRL clash between the Sydney Roosters and the South Sydney Rabbitohs, is expected to be. The away side are looking for a third win on the bounce as they look to gatecrash the Final Series, whilst the Roosters consistency is ready for a steep test.
Key Players to Watch
The Roosters’ Michael Gordon is the leading points scorer in the league including six tries and is key to the success of the home side as they look to bounce back from defeat last time out. Alex Johnston is the leading try scorer in the league with fifteen so far and will be looking to add to his tally for the Rabbitohs, as they look to edge into Final Series contention.
Teams Recent Form
After a disappointing start to their season, the pressure is on the Rabbitohs, particularly at home where they have a poor record. In contrast, away from home, they are playing with freedom and this match serves up an opportunity for them to continue their resurgence in recent weeks. The Roosters lost last time out to reigning title holders Cronulla Sutherland Sharks and will want to bounce back quickly and get back on track.
Head-to-Head
The Roosters came out on top 20-6 back in March and will be looking to take maximum points over the Rabbitohs for the season. Over their last ten meetings, there has been little to choose between them, with five wins each. Whoever takes this match will have bragging rights heading into their next clash.
