Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters prediction
Both these two teams are coming off the back of impressive victories and will be expecting similar success in this one. The Dolphins put up 40 points against North Queensland Cowboys, whilst Sydney Roosters nilled Canberra Raiders, scoring 26 points themselves so confidence within both camps will be extremely high.
This should lead to an open free-scoring game and with the two sides each weakened by Origin absences, that could lead to even more action from an offensive perspective. The contest itself could go either way, but backing a high-scoring affair with over 51.5 points accumulated between them is worth considering.
Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters tip: Over 51.5 total points
