THE PREDICTION
Sydney Roosters can ill-afford to lose this game as they attempt to get their season on track in order to defend their Premiership crown once again. The back-to-back winners failed to win either of their opening two matches of the campaign and face a tough draw with this game against South Sydney Rabbitohs followed by a trip to Brisbane Broncos in Round 4. The Rabbitohs failed to impress in their first two matches but did manage to pick up a victory, although they know they will need to be at the top of their game here. The Roosters dominated when these teams last met in the 2019 finals and with plenty to prove, they are likely to be fired-up for this contest and should be able to cover -7.5 with their defence likely to keep the Rabbitohs in check.
