Sydney Roosters v North Queensland Cowboys
Saturday, August 4, 7:35pm
Allianz Stadium, Sydney


The Roosters have put the competition on notice! They’ve won nine of their last 11 matches and looked ultra-impressive against the Dragons last week. Unfortunately it’s a completely different story for the Cowboys, who were expected to contend for the title this year. They find themselves in 15th place with a 5-14 record and will be hoping that the Roosters have an off night to avoid a whitewash. Ryan Matterson replaces the injured Luke Keary in the Roosters No.6 jersey.

The unders is the betting angle that The Wolf is going with. Four of the last five matches between the Roosters and Cowboys have failed to break 40 points, while the unders is 17-8 when the Roosters are favoured by 6.5 or more at the ground.
