Sea Eagles vs Roosters Predictions & Tips: NRL Round 22

Reality Check

The Sea Eagles will want to quickly move on from their 42-4 thrashing by the Bulldogs. Given a genuine chance prior to KO, the Sea Eagles hung in for a 12-4 HT deficit. They were horrible in the second half, conceding 5 tries and failing to score a point. They were not helped by just 44% possession and a 75% completion rate; they were limited to just 7.6m per carry and 2 line breaks also. Their defence was also poor, allowing 11 line breaks, missing 39 tackles and conceding 8.8m per carry.  

 

Still coming up short

The Roosters tried hard against the Storm but were eventually defeated 34-30 in a thrilling contest. Leading at HT 18-16, there was a genuine thought that they could cause an upset. Unfortunately, they conceded a try with 8 minutes remaining and couldn’t overturn the result. They gave themselves every chance with 51% possession, an 80% completion rate and making 9m per carry. Missing 36 tackles and only making 2 line breaks hurt their chances though as greater consistency is required from this talented team.  

 

Stats that matter

  • The Roosters have won 7 of the past 10 matches between these two sides. Of the past 5 matches, the average margin of victory is 11.8 points. 

  • Home ground advantage matters. The Roosters have won just 1 of their past 3 here and only strike at 35% (7/20) compared to the Sea Eagles 62%. 

  • The Roosters are the superior attacking team in 2025. They score 25ppg compared to the Sea Eagles 22ppg. Defensively, the Sea Eagles are better, allowing just 21ppg compared to the Roosters 24ppg. 

 

Too close to call

The two teams appear evenly matched for this contest; the odds on the Sea Eagles are slightly too short but perhaps this has also factored in their record at home compared with their opponents. Nevertheless, they will have to perform well over 80 minutes to be a chance. The extra time to prepare for this game compared to their opponent’s short turnaround does bring momentum back for the Roosters. Player inclusions and the loss of a key forward (Olakau’atu) for the Sea Eagles are further reasons why the odds should be closer than what is listed. In a head-to-head contest, it is tempting to take the visitors. Despite sitting behind the Sea Eagles on the ladder, their two most recent performances against capable Top 8 teams have seen them perform strongly for majority of a contest. The Sea Eagles’ win over the Storm cannot be forgotten and if they produce a similar standard, they will be in the right position to win. With several factors impacting the outcome of this result, the preferred decision is to use this to your advantage and invest on this game being a close contest, regardless of the winner.  

Either team by 10.5 points

Sea Eagles vs Roosters Same Game Multi

Leg 1 = Total points under 46.5 – the weather is predicted to be horribly for this contest and with two teams capable of producing a high error count, the score may be kept lower as neither can build enough momentum to crack their opponent. 

Leg 2 = Tedesco to score – his recent strike rate against the Sea Eagles is good, scoring 3 tries from the past 2 games. He is a threat in support, running the ball himself or chasing a kick, giving him multiple chances to cross the line. 

Leg 3 = T.Trbojevic to score – it has been a few quiet weeks for Turbo since moving into the centres, with just 2 tries from his past 5 matches. That aside, his attacking ability has not diminished, and he will like his chances in this contest.
