Key MatchupCooper Cronk v Luke Brooks. Cronk hasn’t been his dominant self this season with the Roosters but with so many weapons missing across the park it will be incumbent on him to really leave his mark on this one. His running game has been virtually non-existent but he will need to be a triple threat in this one. Brooks, by contrast, is having one of his best seasons. He has a clearly defined role at the Tigers and has benefited no end from having Benji Marshall by his side. He will need to probe the big Roosters pack all day.

Final ThoughtsThe hardest game of the round from a betting perspective. The Roosters have long had the wood on the Tigers but they are a very poor day team, have struggled in recent times at Allianz and are poor off a big attacking performance. The Tigers are typically poor bets as a favourite but are a strong day team and did roll the Roosters earlier in the season.
