The Sydney Roosters are rarely troubled by the Wests Tigers and given the state of each of the teams right now it is hard to see any change to that on Saturday night.
Best Bet
It has been one-way traffic when the Roosters have met the Tigers for a long time now. The Chooks have won 19 of 21 against the Tigers including the last five. One important note too is how often the market has underestimated the Roosters even when they are heavily favoured with the Roosters covering 20 of 23 meetings dating back to 2008.
The Roosters won the only clash at the SCG 42-12 and have won three of the last four by 22-plus points. Trent Robinson’s team are pushing hard for a finals berth while the Tigers have lost nine of their last 10 including a 24-point loss to the Sharks last week.
The gulf is expanding between these two and the Roosters have the ability to score that makes laying 22.5 an acceptable proposition.
