Sydney Roosters vs Gold Coast Titans NRL 2026 Round 10 FAQ’s

The Titans broke an 11-game losing streak against Sydney last season but a new trend will begin for Sydney who will continually slice through the poor defence of the Gold Coast with the Roosters control the speed and tempo of the match.

The Gold Coast are a bottom-three scoring team in the NRL and way at the other end of the spectrum sit the Roosters, who are scoring an average of 41 points per game in their last 5 matches. Even if the Titans find some sort of spark in stages, they will have no chance keeping up with the Chooks.

Sydney have a strong recent record of blowing out the Titans and are also extremely comfortable playing on the Central Coast and also winning big. The 17.5 points the Titans have will not be enough as the Rooster put up another score around the 40 point mark.

The Titans edges have had plenty of holes this season and you can expect James Tedesco to be sniffing around on the inside looking for offloads. The back five are all a big chance of a try, however there is great value on the second-rowers for the Roosters. I prefer Angus Crichton, who has 7 tries in 7 matches against the Gold Coast including two three-try hauls.

The Roosters have beaten the Titans by 18+ points in 3 of their last 4 matches.
The Roosters have won their last 2 games in Gosford by 18+ points.
The Roosters have scored 33 points or more in their last 5 matches with an average of 41 points.
Angus Crichton has scored 7 tries in 7 games against the Titans.

Head to Head

The Titans got a hefty 30-12 win against the Roosters in Round 4 last season, breaking an 11-game losing streak against Sydney.

6 of the 8 games played since 2019 have gone over the game total.

Sydney Roosters Form Analysis

There is no more dangerous attacking side in the competition than the Sydney Roosters right now. A 38-24 victory over the Brisbane Broncos, whose defence has been their strength in 2026, put a stamp on that statement.

Sydney have not scored less than 33 points and have an average of 41 points per game in their last 5 matches, playing 3 current top-eight sides in that span. James Tedesco is like a fine bottle of Bordeaux aging spectacularly, playing some of his best footy in his whole career. The Roosters No.1 has 10 line breaks in 8 games along with 7 try assists and 4 tries.

The concern for the Roosters is that they are still leaking points at a rate of 25.25 per game, however, if their attack is this clinical it is not a concern right now and can be improved as the season goes on.

Gold Coast Titans Form Analysis

The Titans are living up to their expectations in 2026 as one of the worst teams in the comp. Besides their 52 points against Parramatta, their attack has been more stale than one would have thought heading into the year.

A 28-12 loss to Canberra in Round 8 was one of their worst performances of the season where they rarely threatened the Raiders with any creative ball movement that gave them a sniff of the line. Just 1379 total run metres was the core of under-par performance as they could not get out of their own end playing 59% of the match in their own end.

Something has to give on the Gold Coast with poor performance after poor performance and rubbish seasons after the next.
