Wests Tigers (4-10) will be looking for a third straight win when they take on the fourth-placed Sydney Roosters (10-4) at Allianz Stadium on Sunday night.
Sydney have the opportunity to cement themselves inside the top four with the best points differential of any team in the competition as they build their form on the back of their tireless Trent Robinson defence. They will fancy themselves here, having also named their State Of Origin stars to start the match.
Elsewhere, Benji Marshall's Wests Tigers will be looking to win three matches on the spin for the first time since 2018. They are in the form of their season, having downed the Canberra Raiders (24 points) and the Gold Coast Titans (eight points) in the previous two weeks, however nine losses followed that trend earlier in the year.
