The defending Premiers, Penrith Panthers will take on the Sydney Roosters on Friday in Round 2 of the 2025 NRL season at the Comm Bank Stadium in Sydney.
The Panthers opened their season with a 28-22 win over the Sharks in Las Vegas and have had an 11-day break since. Star winger Brian To'o, who was out with a hamstring injury, is now set to make his return to action.
On the other hand, the Roosters were humiliated at their home turf at the Allianz Stadium by the Broncos in a 50-14 defeat. Further, Victor Radley has been ruled out of this match due to concussion after suffering a head knock by colliding with teammate James Tedesco.
The Panthers will take confidence from their ten wins in a row against the Roosters, making them clear favourites for this clash. Moreover, the Roosters have struggled defensively, conceding 98 points in their last two NRL games.
