NRL Game Of The Week

The match of the round sees traditional rivals and minor premier hopefuls the Rabbitohs and the Roosters meet at ANZ Stadium on Friday night. The Rabbitohs showed why they are big contenders for this year’s premiership after a dominant come-from-behind victory over the Storm last week. Souths trailed 16-6 just before the break but crossed the line for four unanswered tries to stun the reigning premiers. It was the first time they’ve beaten the Storm in 6 matchups. It’s the fourth time they’ve won from a half-time deficit this season and the Bunnies are the only team to boast a winning record when trailing at the half. The Roosters are looking to make it 5 straight victories after defeating the Cowboys 26-20 last week. They will have to overcome defensive lapses in concentration late in games if they’re going to beat the rampaging bunnies. Some insights for the game are:
• Last 5 H2H 3-2 in favour of the Roosters. • The Rabbitohs have won 11 of their last 12 matches.
• South Sydney has won each of its last four home matches by a margin of 1 to 12 points.
• Each of Sydney’s last five night matches at ANZ Stadium have gone UNDER the total match points line.
We’re tipping the Roosters 1-12 @ $3.30
