The biggest rivalry in Rugby League has lost some of its lustre with the Rabbitohs done and dusted but a chance to send the Roosters into the finals off a loss won’t be missed by the Bunnies.
Best Bet
The Sydney Roosters premiership dreams took a significant hit last week when three players suffered season-ending injuries. Sam Walker, Brandon Smith and Victor Radley have been joined on the sidelines by Daniel Tupou and Nat Butcher with Dom Young also likely to miss.
That is half the starting team.
The Chooks still take in more talent than the banged up and beaten Bunnies but laying 12.5 points on the road to be with the Chooks is utterly nuts.
Souths have covered four of the last five at Accor while they Roosters have covered just one of five at the venue. The Chooks are 7-15 ATS as a double digit road favourite.
The Bunnies are the bet in this one.

Value Bet
Cook plays his last game in the cardinal and myrtle and given how involved he has been of late a try would not surprise. He has four tries in his last 14 matches and he will leave nothing on the paddock on Friday night.
