Sydney are the league’s best pointscoring team and even without star half Sam Walker the depth of the squad is good enough to put on a few tries past one of the worst defensive outfits in the league. 

Souths are top 5 in Conceding Points, Run Metres and Linebreaks which points to a lack of effort, discipline and structure. None of these things are quickly fixed, expect them to continue to be found out on the edges with the skills of Tedesco, Manu and Young from the Roosters too much to handle. 

  • Souths concede an average of 28.1 pts per game as well as 5.4 Linebreaks and 1505 Run Metres.
  • The Roosters score an average of 30.5 points per game, the most in the NRL while conceding the 2nd fewest Linebreaks and 5 fewest Points from their opposition.
  • The Rabbitohs have not scored more than 16 points in their last 5 games.
  • 86% of tries scored against Souths are down the edges.


Head to Head 


The Roosters and Rabbitohs have a rich history of head to head matchups. Since the beginning of the 2019 season they have met in 11 regular season games aswell as 2 finals matchups, one in 2019 won by Sydney and one in 2022 won by South Sydney. 

In the regular season H2H South Sydney hold a 6-5 advantage in the win record but it is the Roosters who have won the last 4 games in a row.

The Game Total is 6-5 to the Over but the Under has hit in 3 of the last 5. The Winning Margin in the last two games has been 13+ but 3 of the last 5 and 6 of 11 have been 1-12.

The Roosters were priming as one of the favourites to take out the premiership. Then last weekend happened. A spate of injuries to key players has rocked the club to its core and the depth will now be tested with finals just around the corner.

Sydney still hold the mantle for highest average points per game as well as holding 2nd spot for Linebreaks. On the defensive end they are 5th best in Points Conceded and 4th best in Run Metres Conceded.

Sydney Roosters Team News


Sam Walker, Brandon Smith and Victor Radley all suffered what could be season ending injuries last weekend with Daniel Tupou and Nat Butcher also succumbing to their own injuries. 

Joseph Suaalii returns from a neck complaint to play in the centres with Fetalaiga Pauga getting the nod on the wing. Sandon Smith takes Walker’s spot at halfback with Connor Watson the new hooker. Sitili Tupouniua returns to the familiar backrow position with Naufahu Whyte the lock.
