Stats & History
It was another successful year for the Roosters in 2024 as they finished in the top four and reached the preliminary finals.
However, 2025 shapes as a transition year at the club as they face major changes to the ranks. Joey Manu, Joseph Sua’ali’i, Luke Keary, Terrell May, Sitili Tupouniua and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves have all left the club, while Sam Walker and Brandon Smith will be unavailable for most of the season due to knee injuries.
With such a big turnover of players at the Roosters for 2025, let’s take a look at their odds for the upcoming NRL season.

Best Sydney Roosters bets for NRL 2025
There are dozens of NRL futures markets for the Roosters, but where are they likely to return some real value?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- After entering the 2024 season at $8 odds for the premiership, top NRL bookmakers are far less optimistic about the side this season, as they have fallen out to $17. They have lost so much quality across the park, while bringing in so many new players will take time to gel. It seems unlikely that the Roosters will be able to match the top teams in 2025.
- Despite the changes to the side, the Roosters are still at even odds to make the finals at $1.90 with major sports betting apps. They boast an incredibly strong forward pack that is full of representative experience, while fullback James Tedesco boasts plenty of attacking skill and leadership qualities to lead the side to success. If the Roosters can avoid more injury woes, then they should be right in the mix for finals action.
- After moving across from the Knights last season, winger Dominic Young had a great first year in the Tricolours, scoring 19 tries in 19 games. Despite competition from the likes of Daniel Tupou and James Tedesco, Young is the obvious candidate to lead the side once again in 2025. At 200cm tall, he is also incredibly fast offering a scoring threat from all situations, that put him in the mix to lead the whole NRL in tries.

Roosters players to watch in 2025

Chad Townsend
Born: 10/1/1991
Games: 262
Tries: 40
Position: Halfback
After being signed as a depth and mentoring player, halfback Chad Townsend is now set to play a major role for the Roosters in 2025 due to the injury to Sam Walker. Townsend has plenty of NRL experience across his 262-game career, including plenty of finals action. Surrounded by talented backs, Townsend will need to playa steady hand, finding gaps and forming a strong partnership with the inexperienced Sandon Smith if the Roosters are going to press the top teams this season.

Angus Chrichton
Born: 5/2/1996
Games: 177
Tries: 45
Position: Second Rower
Following his horror 2023 season, Angus Crichton returned to his best last season, scoring 11 tries in 23 games for the Roosters, while winning the Wally Lewis Medal for best player in the State of Origin series. The New South Welshman forms a key part of one of the best second rows in the NRL working alongside Nat Butcher and Victor Radley. If Crichton can keep up his excellent form, the Roosters will be tough to stop.

Mark Nawaqanitawase
Born: 11/9/2000
Games: 1
Tries: 1
Position: Centre
Making the move across from rugby union and rugby sevens, Mark Nawaqanitawase is a breakout candidate for the 2025 season. He scored a try in his one game last season, but it was apparent that his physical skillset would suit rugby league. His mix of height, size and speed will make him incredibly dangerous in attack, while his time in rugby union should make him strong defensively. While he will make some mistakes as he adapts to the game, Nawaqanitawase will be an exciting watch this year.

- The Sydney Roosters, originally established as the Eastern Suburbs District Rugby League Football Club in January 1908, have a rich history in Australian rugby league. Representing areas including Darlinghurst, Paddington, Randwick, Vaucluse, Waverley, and Woollahra, their traditional zone also encompasses Sydney’s city center.
Early success was marked by consecutive premierships from 1911 to 1913, led by legends such as Dally Messenger, Jersey Flegg, and Sandy Pearce. The 1930s brought another trio of premierships, with additional titles bookending World War II.
Entering the latter half of the 20th century, the Roosters faced a premiership drought, broken by back-to-back victories in 1974 and 1975. A 27-year gap followed before clinching their 12th premiership in 2002 under coach Phil Gould.
In recent years, the Roosters have reasserted their dominance, securing premierships in 2013, 2018, and 2019. The 2024 season saw them finish third on the ladder with 16 wins and 8 losses, advancing to the preliminary finals before a defeat to the Melbourne Storm.
As the 2025 season approaches, the Roosters are navigating significant roster changes. Notably, key players Joseph Manu and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii have departed for rugby union, and injuries to Sam Walker and Brandon Smith are expected to sideline them for the early part of the season. In response, the club has shown interest in veteran playmaker Ben Hunt to bolster their squad.
Despite these challenges, the Roosters have secured the future of star fullback James Tedesco, who has extended his contract until the end of 2026. Tedesco’s leadership and performance remain pivotal as the team integrates new talent and adapts to roster changes.
