Sydney Roosters Form
The Roosters followed a hard fought 22-16 win over the last placed Canterbury Bulldogs with another victory last weekend over the North Queensland Cowboys in Townsville.
Sydney ran out 34-18 winners over the Cowboys to remain fifth on the ladder, although they needed three tries in the final 11 minutes to put the game to bed.
The two wins came on the back of successive losses that dropped the Roosters out of the top four.
The back-to-back losses did, however, come against ladder leaders Penrith Panthers and Melbourne Storm.

Newcastle Knights Form
Newcastle's two-game winning run came to end emphatically last week as they were beaten 48-4 by ladder leaders Melbourne Storm.
It was the heaviest defeat of the season for the Knights as they struggled defensively to contain the rampant Storm.
Adam O'Brien’s side had raised hopes of a run to the finals when winning two in a row for the first time since the opening two rounds of the season.
They won 10-6 against the New Zealand Warriors before recording their biggest win of the season with a 36-0 demolition of the North Queensland Cowboys.
