NRL: Sydney Roosters vs Dolphins


Game context
Sydney Roosters hold a 63% implied probability against the Dolphins in Round 26 at Allianz Stadium, reflecting their home advantage, third-place ladder standing, and stronger season-long defensive metrics. The Roosters enter after a narrow Round 25 loss to the Wests Tigers but boast wins in four of their prior five outings, including a dominant 82-12 victory over the Cowboys. Captain James Tedesco is named to return from ankle issues that sidelined him for three matches, though his availability remains uncertain, while Victor Radley misses out with concussion. The Dolphins sit fourth and arrive on a five-game winning streak, yet trail in head-to-head results (Roosters lead 4-2) and face a tougher defensive matchup on the road. Late inclusions like Kurt Donoghoe add depth but do not offset the Roosters' home edge in this finals-contending clash.
