Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters prediction
It's now six straight defeat for the struggling Brisbane Broncos, who return to action after a much-needed bye week.
Michael Maguire's side looked completely out of ideas before their week off, and there will have been some difficult conversations amongst the squad since their 48-6 defeat to the Rabbitohs.
While Sydney Roosters aren't quite at the level that saw them win six games on the bounce between the end of March and early May, they are still operating well in all departments with their most recent outing seeing them defeat the Sharks 27-8.
You have to think there will be some improvement from the Broncos here. Indeed, it can't get much worse, but we still fancy the impressive Roosters to handle the challenge fairly comfortably.
Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters tip: Sydney Roosters -14.5
