Sydney Roosters vs Gold Coast Titans NRL 2025 Round 4 FAQ’s

The season is still too fresh to hit the nail on the head with these two sides in 2025. The Titans had a great performance last week, beating the Knights, but were embarrassed by the Doggies in their opener. The Roosters, much of the same with two poor performances and one superhuman effort.

The breaker that makes me lean to a Titans upset is the fact that they are striking in attack with very few chances inside their opposition 20m. The roosters on the other hand have failed to win the territory battle in their matches and are misfiring at the moment when they do get a crack at their opponents line.

This game is set to go down to the wire so getting a converted try to the Titans is the play I like the most, besides the speedster JoJo Fifita continuing his run of tries in 2025.

The Roosters covered in just 1 of 4 matches when they were favourites by 6.5 points or less in 2024.
The Titans won both matches last season when starting as 6.5-point underdogs.
The Titans have scored 8 tries in 2 matches despite having an average of 6 tackles less than the league average inside their opposition 20m
JoJo Fifita has 4 tries in his last 4 games, including a try in each of the Titans two matches in 2025.

Head to Head

The Roosters have won the last 11 matches against the Titans with the Gold Coast not beating Sydney since May, 2016.

The Roosters got up handsomely 48-22 in Round 25 last season with Angus Crichton tearing them apart on the edge with 3 tries. Alofiana Khan-Pereira also scored 3 tries for the Titans but will miss the upcoming match.

Hard to put your thumb on what the Roosters are in 2025 right now. 1 win in three matches but their victory was against the reigning premiers the Penrith Panthers, putting on 38 points, while they have only mustered 20 points total in their other two matches to start the season.

The fear heading into this season was that Sydney were going to struggle in attack without Luke Keary and Sam Walker, along with Manu and Sua’ali’i becoming rugby converts. That has certainly been the case with the most evident statistic being tackled inside 20.

The Roosters have not had more than 20 tackles inside their opponents 20m line in each of their first three games, while the least they have allowed is 31 against their own line with the total difference being 48-106 in favour of their opposition.

The Titans got their first win of the season on the board with a routine victory over Newcastle at Cbus Stadium, where they have thrived against the Knights in recent history.

After a poor performance in Round 2 in their opening match of the season against the Bulldogs, giving up 4 tries in the first 20 mins of the match, the Titans defence responded at home against the Knights, holding Newcastle to just one four-pointer all match, running away victors 26-6, last Saturday night. Gold Coast withstood a barrage of pressure and territory from the Knights as Newcastle 56% of the game in the Titans half and had 44 tackles inside 20m for just one try.
