Sydney were blown out of the park with Brisbane putting a half century on them in Round 1, struggling all over the park, with their forwards unable to match the Broncos which opened up a world of space on the edges.
They now face the Panthers, who they have not beaten in 5 seasons and have been defeated heavily over those years. Penrith had a strong start to their 4th title defence beating contender Cronulla in Vegas.
This game only goes in one direction and that is a hefty defeat for the Roosters, who will not be able to crack the Penrith defence, who will hold them under 14.5 points. Paul Alamoti will reap the benefits of a sluggish right side defence of the Roosters and will cross the line, just as he did on the glitter strip
- Penrith have beaten Sydney by 20 points or more in 3 of their last 4 meetings.
- Roosters have failed to cover the line in 5 of their last 6 matches.
- The Roosters have scored 14 points or less in 6 of their last 8 games against Penrith.
- Roosters conceded 44% of their tries last week down their right edge.

The Roosters did it tough in Round 1, going down dramatically 50-14 against the Brisbane Broncos at Allianz Stadium.
If it wasn’t for captain James Tedesco, it would've been a lot more but the Roosters team captain constantly made plays to diffuse the electric attack of the Broncos.
With new halves and new centres, along with changes in the engine room and on top of that, losing Victor Radley in the first half, made an opening round victory impossible for Easts.
With Sandon Smith and Chad Townsend in the halves, the Roosters lacked direction and creativity and barely got a chance with their forwards getting pummeled through the middle of the park which opened them up to concede 10 linebreaks in the match.
