Top 4 matches at this time of year always create plenty of excitement and this match has plenty of airs too it. A Roosters win keeps them in the hunt for the minor premiership and puts the Dolphins’ Top 4 ambitions in danger while a a Dolphins win ends the Roosters hopes of the minor premiership and likely keeps the Sharks out of the Top 4.

The Dolphins certainly look value in this one.

These teams met just 12 rounds back with the Dolphins winning 48-10.

Form against elite teams is the key to this one. The Dolphins are 14-9 ATS against Topn4 teams while the Roosters are 9-18 ATS.

The Dolphins are also 8-2 ATS getting a start of at least four points while they are 14-7 ATS off conceding 14 or fewer.

If the Roosters show up like they did last week, the Dolphins will win this and win it with style.

Brian Pouniu was a surprising inclusion last week for his second NRL game when a late starter in place of Max Plath on an edge. He didn’t let anyone down where he played the full 80 minutes, running for 148m and making 39 tackles. It was a very good second game, particularly shifting to a new position. He has certainly been playing well in Q-Cup in the second row, scoring three tries in eight games since shifting to the forwards.
