The official team lists are in for Roosters vs Eels, and they could have a major impact on the betting markets ahead of kick-off. From favourable player matchups and returning stars to key injuries and positional changes, we’ve analysed the selections to uncover where the biggest betting opportunities may have emerged following Team List Tuesday.
Biggest Betting Winners – Roosters
Daniel Tupou
Tupou returns for his 300th NRL appearance after overcoming a calf injury, giving the Roosters one of the competition’s most reliable finishers back on the left edge. His aerial ability and combination with Daly Cherry-Evans immediately make him a genuine try-scoring threat.
Betting impact: Tupou shapes as one of the strongest anytime try scorer options, particularly against an Eels edge that has struggled defensively this season.
Daly Cherry-Evans
With James Tedesco unavailable and Hugo Savala partnering him in the halves, Cherry-Evans will shoulder even more responsibility as the Roosters’ chief playmaker.
Betting impact: Expect Cherry-Evans to dominate the kicking game, making Roosters first-half markets and player assist markets more appealing.
Cody Ramsey
Ramsey gets another opportunity at fullback following James Tedesco’s concussion. His speed around the ruck and support play provide a different dynamic to the Roosters’ attack.
Betting impact: Ramsey looms as a value anytime try scorer if the Roosters generate quick play-the-balls through the middle.

Biggest Betting Losers – Roosters
James Tedesco
The Roosters captain misses the clash after suffering a Category 1 concussion in State of Origin III, leaving a significant hole in both attack and leadership.
Sam Walker
Walker has been rested following Origin duties, handing Hugo Savala another opportunity in the No.7 jersey.
Roosters left-edge combinations
With Tedesco absent and Walker unavailable, the Roosters lose two of the key players responsible for creating overlap opportunities on the edges.

Biggest Betting Winners – Eels
Jonah Pezet
Mitchell Moses’ thigh injury sees Pezet come into the starting side at halfback, handing him a huge opportunity against one of the NRL’s premiership contenders.
Betting impact: Pezet will handle most of the kicking duties and could represent value in player performance markets.
Josh Addo-Carr
Without Moses, the Eels may look to simplify their attack and get the ball to Addo-Carr early through yardage carries and set plays.
Betting impact: If Parramatta are to cause an upset, Addo-Carr is likely to be heavily involved around the try line.
Dylan Walker
Walker’s versatility off the bench gives Jason Ryles flexibility should the game open up in the second half.
Betting impact: Live betting markets could become interesting if Walker enters early and injects speed around the ruck.
Biggest Betting Losers – Eels
Mitchell Moses
The Eels captain has been ruled out with a corked thigh sustained during State of Origin III, removing the side’s most influential organiser and kicker.
Parramatta’s kicking game
Without Moses controlling field position, the Eels face a much tougher assignment against one of the competition’s strongest defensive teams.
Eels outside backs
The absence of Moses’ long passing game reduces the quality of early ball reaching Parramatta’s wingers and centres, making their try-scoring opportunities harder to create.
Early Betting Verdict
The biggest betting shift from team lists is the loss of Mitchell Moses for Parramatta, while the Roosters welcome back veteran winger Daniel Tupou for his milestone match. Even without James Tedesco, the Roosters appear to have gained the stronger overall advantage through continuity and experience, with Parramatta facing the difficult task of replacing their chief playmaker. Expect markets around the Roosters, anytime try scorers and first-half betting to attract plenty of attention before kick-off.
