The Sydney Roosters and Brisbane Broncos meet in a high-stakes NRL clash, with both teams displaying strong recent form. The Roosters have enjoyed a four-game winning streak, posting huge points, while the Broncos have bounced back from a tough start with five wins in their past six, anchored by solid defense. Key stats favor a low-scoring contest, and the Broncos' defense could again limit the Roosters' attack. With strong returning players for Brisbane and no injury concerns for Sydney, expect a close match with under 51.5 total points.

Sydney Roosters vs Brisbane Broncos Preview


Both sides are serious premiership credentials and have won five of their last six games. I'm backing a tight contest with under 51.5 total points and for the Broncos to restrict the Roosters to Under 28.5 team points.
  • Broncos have held Roosters Under 28.5 team points in seven of the last nine meetings
  • Broncos have conceded an average of 18.2 points in their last five games
  • Seven of the last nine meetings have seen Under 51.5 points
  • Reece Walsh has scored a try in his last two appearances vs Roosters & has scored a try in his last six games in NSW
  • Both teams have won five of their last six games this season

Roosters vs Broncos Head To Head

Roosters have won three of the last four meetings, but the Broncos staged an ambush in their last clash at Allianz, dropping 50 points early on last season.

Sydney Roosters Form - Four-Game Winning Streak

The Roosters are riding a tidal wave of point-scoring momentum into this clash.

Indeed, the Chooks have scored 167 points during their current four-game winning streak, which includes victories over the Sea Eagles, Sharks, Knights and Dragons.

The Sam Walker and Daly Cherry-Evans partnership in the halves is developing nicely, with Walker picking up his third ANZAC Day player of the match honours as the Roosters demolished the Dragons 66-22 last week.

Walker's support play remains underrated as he picked up a double, as did wingers Daniel Tupou and Mark Nawaqanitawase.

Brisbane Broncos Form - Five Wins In Last Six Games

After a shaky start to the season, the Broncos have settled and come into this encounter with five wins from their last six games.

It's been impressive from Brisbane - I think most expected them to go the other way after a number of injuries and suspensions to star players, but they've dug in and proven they can get their hands dirty.

Despite battling a growing casualty ward, the Broncos have won their last two games as outsiders against the Tigers and Bulldogs.

Those wins were built on the back of some rock-solid defence, with Brisbane sprinting out to a 26-0 lead over the Dogs last week before taking their foot off the gas late.

Sydney Roosters vs Brisbane Broncos Team News

No injury concerns at all for Trent Robinson, with the Roosters' coach naming the same squad for the fourth game in a row.

Some huge returns for Brisbane, led by Reece Walsh and Pat Carrigan.

Verdict

I'm expecting both sides to aim up in defence in a bid to flex their premiership credentials. Reece Walsh will be dangerous in his return from injury.
