Roosters – Sea Eagles to battle this weekend

Two of the best performers from Round 4 of NRL will battle this weekend.

The Roosters head into Round 5 on top of the ladder but the Sea Eagles have been the form side in recent weeks courtesy of huge wins over the Cowboys and Bulldogs.

Very little separates the sides in attack with 17 tries apiece, and both teams have conceded 10 tries, while the Roosters hold a slender advantage in offloads 41 to 40.

The Roosters welcome back co‑captain Jake Friend which pushes Paul Carter back to an extended bench alongside Blake Ferguson and Kane Evans.

The Roosters will face the Sea Eagles at 7pm Friday.
