The last fixture in the NRL Round 17 will see the Sydney Roosters host the Wests Tigers at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday (June 30). The Roosters will aim to solidify their position in the top four and extend their winning streak to three games.
In the previous round, they defeated the Canterbury Bulldogs by 18 points, propelling them into the top four. This week, they are facing a team they have beaten 17 times out of 18, making them clear favorites.
Wests Tigers, meanwhile, will hope to mark their 600th NRL game with a win. They may be 16th in the table, but their form shows an upward trajectory that can't be overlooked. They defeated Gold Coast and Canberra in the previous two rounds and will be motivated to achieve three consecutive wins for the first time since 2018.
