EELS VS ROOSTERS – FRIDAY 18 AUGUST, 8:00PM
This game shapes as one of the matches of the round as two of the NRL’s powerhouses fight to keep their season alive.

The Eels boast a far healthier differential of +21 and have a guaranteed two points to come from a bye in the final round but winning without their main man Moses will be no easy assignment.
Betting Insights
- The Eels have won seven of their past eight games at CommBank Stadium.
- The Roosters have won seven of their past nine games against the Eels.
- Eels winger Maika Sivo has scored 41 tries in 46 games at CommBank Stadium.
