Penrith Panthers vs Sydney Roosters Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips

The returns of Mitch Kenny and Isaah Yeo last week – albeit in a training run v Wests – come at an ominous time for this Panthers machine.

It was Easts with the most big-game experience coming into the finals series but with Penrith’s spine now back to full strength, it’s scary to think what they might do over the next month.

The Roosters meanwhile are dealing with the loss of Sam Walker and while it reads all doom and gloom in the media, there’s a case to be made for Hugo Savalo and Daly Cherry-Evans at this stage of the season. Two sound defenders and two long kickers to end their sets might just help Easts play a more finals-friendly brand of football in yardage to offset their risky habits in attack.

With arguably the better pack to win the yardage battle and two aerial threats on either wing to kick for in good-ball, I’ve got a feeling the Chooks might just get up for this one.
