Sydney Roosters vs Penrith Panthers Preview

Injuries have drastically shifted the betting landscape, with the Panthers transitioning from road favorites to underdogs following Nathan Cleary’s month-long absence.

This underscores Cleary’s influence, akin to legends like Johns and Thurston, on betting lines.

Despite Penrith’s defensive resilience, the Roosters’ dynamic, aggressive play style and recent dominant victory make them the favorable bet.

Teams coming off a 40-plus point win have historically performed well against the spread, further supporting the Roosters’ position.

Penrith’s mixed record without Cleary and their struggles away from home compound their challenges.

Expecting a resolute performance, the Roosters are poised to cover the expanding spread.

Dom Young’s prolific try-scoring record adds to the Roosters’ offensive threat, while James Tedesco’s recent form and vulnerability in Penrith’s middle present scoring opportunities.

Notably, the Roosters’ defensive vulnerabilities on the right side suggest potential for Panthers’ tryscorer Brian To’o to capitalize.
