Roosters vs Sharks – Round 17, 2017

The Roosters have named the same 1-17 that beat the ladder-leading Storm in Golden Point last weekend, meaning Origin star Boyd Cordner will remain on the sidelines with a calf problem.

The Sharks have named Fa’amanu Brown at hooker to replace Jayden Brailey, and have also selected Joseph Paulo on the bench in favour of Daniel Mortimer.

Matt Prior has returned to the starting lineup with Jayson Bukuya moving back to the bench.

This contest is set to be a beauty, although a fantastic win from the Roosters last week could give them the confidence to knock off last year’s premiers.

Roosters by 4.
