The Sydney Roosters will have to defy history to claim a third straight NRL premiership after they were thrashed 60-8 by South Sydney last night.

The Rabbitohs scored 10 tries against the Roosters, with Alex Johnston crossing for five.

The Roosters are likely to face the Panthers in the first week of the finals following the loss.

No team in the game's 112-year history has won the premiership that season after conceding 50 points in a match, with the Roosters producing their worst defensive effort in a decade.



It helped the Rabbitohs earn hosting rights for next week's elimination final against Newcastle.

The thumping means the Roosters will have to face minor premiers Penrith to open the finals next week, provided Parramatta beat Wests Tigers on today.

Meanwhile, the Titans beat the Knights 36-6 to equal a club record with their fifth consecutive win.

This is the final round of the NRL before the finals.

The Bulldogs face the Panthers at 5 o'clock this afternoon, the Sharks meet the Raiders at 7.30 tonight while the Eels face the Wests Tigers at 9.35 tonight.
