The Sydney Roosters are set to take on the Wests Tigers in Round 18 of the National Rugby League (NRL) season at Allianz Stadium in Sydney on Sunday afternoon.
The Roosters have struggled a lot this season with consistency. The Sydney-based side have taken seven win and as many losses so far, and have failed to string together more than two consecutive wins or losses. As such, they head in Round 18 in sixth place on the ladder on the back of a massive 42-8 win over the Cowboys last weekend.
The Wests Tigers, on the other hand, had an average start to their 2025 home-and-away campaign as they took home five wins in their opening 10 games. However, since then they have gone on a horrendous run of five straight losses which has seen them tumble down to 14th on the ladder heading into this weekend.
