THE TEAM NEWS
PENRITH PANTHERS
- Penrith Panthers continued their march towards the minor premiership thanks to recording a six successive victory in their most recent encounter, comfortably defeat New Zealand Warriors in a one-sided affair.
- The Panthers remain at the top of the ladder having lost just once so far this season and with all of their Origin stars seemingly pulling up well from last Sunday’s clash, head coach Ivan Cleary looks to have the luxury of naming his strongest 17 for this contest.
Starting 13: Edwards, May, Tago, S. Crichton, To’o, Luai, Cleary, Leota, Koroisau, Fisher-Harris, Kikau, Martin, Yeo – Interchanges: Kenny, Sorensen, Leniu, Salmon – Reserves: Jennings, Eisenhuth, C. Smith, Turuva, O’Sullivan

SYDNEY ROOSTERS
- Sydney Roosters’ poor run of form continued as they suffered a third straight loss and plenty are now starting to question whether the Tricolours are good enough to even make the finals this year.
- They find themselves outside of the top eight ahead of this clash with the premiers having gone down to Parramatta Eels last time out but their chances will be increased here with Victor Radley set to return at lock, although Luke Keary will again sit out with concussion symptoms.
Starting 13: Tedesco, Tupou, Smith, Manu, Suaalii, Hutchison, Walker, Collins, Verrills, Taukeiaho, Critchton, Tupouniua, Radley – Interchanges: Watson, E.Butcher, N. Butcher, Baker – Reserves: Momirovski, Suluka-Fifita, Keighran, May, Lam
Unavailable: Renouf Atoni, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Luke Keary
THE PREDICTION
Penrith Panthers are the last side an out-of-form Sydney Roosters will want to face but that is the task that lies in wait for them in this Friday night clash. The Panthers have suffered just one loss all season and have proven to be almost unbeatable on home soil over the last few years. The Roosters come into this having lost their last three and having also lost five consecutive games against the defending premiers, the Panthers look set to record yet another victory here and they should be comfortable in the process, covering the HT/FT margins of 9+ and 13+.
