THE PREDICTION

The Sharks are currently sat in the final playoff place but this is a tough test for them against the in-form Sydney Roosters. The Roosters have won seven of their last eight matches and have been particularly impressive in their last few victories. They have won their last four matches by margins of 22, 46, 12 and 30 and they are improving at just the right time of the season. Having won their last four meetings with the Sharks, the Roosters have to be favoured to win here although it will not be easy to beat the 16-point handicap.
