SYDNEY ROOSTERS VS WESTS TIGERS PREDICTION
Sydney Roosters look capable of mixing it with the teams at the very top of the ladder and should be in the conversation for a spot in the Grand Final come the business end of the season. They are performing well but need to overcome tests like this to highlight their character. They are fully expected to win this but face a Wests Tigers outfit that will be on a real high having won their last two matches. The Tigers will hold no fear here but it will be a tough task for them to make it three straight and the Tricolours are favoured to prevail.
