Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters, Round 6 2025 - Expert Prediction

The Roosters poor defence will be no match for the dynamic Broncos attack with the home team expected to win big against Sydney for the second time this season.

Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters NRL 2025 Round 6 FAQ’s

Sydney are ranked at or near the bottom in most significant defensive statistics. They allow 5.4 Linebreaks per game, an important stat coming up against the Broncos who rank 2nd with 7 Linebreaks per game in attack. The Roosters middle defence has at times been flimsy and will be put to the ultimate test against the Broncos strong and mobile forward pack spearheaded by Payne Haas and Pat Carrigan.

Adam Reynolds and Ben Hunt have already formed a formidable partnership in the halves, constructing and executing game plans with finesse. The Roosters have lacked that structure and finesse this season with their new halves pairing with Chad Townsend now demoted from the 17. New half Hugo Savala will likely not impact enough to upset in this matchup with more game time needed to settle into the role properly.

My expectation is the game will be an arm wrestle early but once the Broncos start firing they will be hard to stop with the Roosters confidence shot to pieces, just like in round 1. Take Brisbane to go Over their team total, also pushing the Game Total Over. A Jesse Arthars double or a Gehamat Shibasaki 4 pointer are both good tryscorer picks.

The Broncos have averaged 38.6 pts scored in their last 3 wins vs Roosters. This includes a 50-14 win in Round 1.
Brisbane average 32.8 pts in 5 games played this season, 3 of those games the Total has gone Over.
The Broncos have scored the first try in 3 straight games.
Jesse Arthars (7) and Gehamat Shibasaki (4) have combined for 11 tries in 5 games this season down the left side.

Head to Head

Sydney have dominated this head to head battle in recent years taking 8 of the last 12 victories dating back to the start of the 2019 season. The Roosters have also won 3 in a row at Suncorp but the Broncos demoralised Sydney 50-14 in Round 1 in Sydney.

The Over has hit in 7 of 12 games including the game played earlier this season.

The Broncos chalked up another win over the weekend taking them to 4-1 on the season and 2nd on the ladder. The 46-24 victory over the Tigers was commanded by Adam Reynolds who turned back the clock with individual brilliance on more than one occasion.

Brisbane have allowed the most opposition points of any of the top 4 teams but have also scored the most by a 22pt margin. They average 32.8 points per game and rank 2nd in the NRL in linebreaks with an average of 7 per matchup. The big win over Wests came despite having just a 77% completion rate, 1167 Run Metres, 13 errors and 9 penalties conceded.

Selwyn Cobbo led all Broncos in Run Metres with 149 for the day while the tackling duties were shared relatively evenly across the whole forward pack.

The Roosters grasped defeat from the jaws of victory last weekend against archrivals the Rabbitohs. They lead 14-8 with less than 20 minutes remaining on the clock with their opposition down to 14 players having both starting halves go off with separate hamstring injuries.

But Sydney were once again their own worst enemy turning the ball over at inopportune moments, unable to capitalise on their dominant possession and territory in the 2nd half of the game. They then allowed two late tries to their opponent who had just 5 tackles inside 20m in the second stanza to see the game slip out of their grasp.

The Roosters once strong defensive structure has been torn to shreds this season, they rank 12th in opposition run metres, 14th in opposition linebreaks, 14th in opposition tacklse inside 20m and 16th in opposition possession rate.
