Sydney Roosters odds
With more than 100 years of history behind them, the Sydney Roosters are one of the powerhouse teams of the National Rugby League.
That legacy was underlined in 2019 when the Tricolours edged out a determined Canberra Raiders side to become the first team of the NRL era to win back-to-back premierships.
They missed out last year, but can the Chooks go all the way to the big dance again in 2021? Let’s see how the latest NRL betting odds are shaping up.

Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- Are the Chooks still a genuine premiership threat? Although they were a little way of the pace last season, online bookmakers have them in the top few chances again this year.
- If the markets are to be believed, there are a five major contenders for a top-four spot. The Roosters sit third or fourth in that group, depending on where you look. If you can get even money or better, jump on.
- The Chooks have two major contenders in the NRL 2021 top tryscorer betting. Brett Morris has a slight edge in the preseason markets, but Daniel Tupou looks great value at $26. If he stays fit, he is every chance to notch 20 or more tries this season.

Roosters players to watch in 2021
James Tedesco
Born: 8/1/1993
Games: 158
Tries: 88
Position: Fullback
Coming off a monster 2019 in which he won the Dally M Medal, Wally Lewis Medal and Brad Fittler Medal, it is perhaps unsurprising that James Tedesco failed to reach those heights last season. However, the NSW fullback is a bonafide superstar and will be central to Sydney’s prospects this season.
Angus Crichton
Born: 5/2/1996
Games: 96
Tries: 18
Position: Second row
Angus Crichton has given the Roosters plenty of flexibility with his ability to take on various roles and make an impact from the bench, but he played the bulk of last season as a starter on the second row. Can he take his game to the next level in 2021?
Lachlan Lam
Born: 25/3/1998
Games: 11
Tries: 0
Position: Five-eighth
With Kyle Flanagan dumped after just one season and Luke Keary now moving into the halfback role, it appears that Lachlan Lam will get first crack at the no.6 jersey this year. Drew Hutchison and Sam Walker are waiting in the wings, so the pressure will be on from round one.

- The Sydney Roosters began life as the Eastern Suburbs District Rugby League Football Club in January 1908. Designed to represent the municipalities of Darlinghurst, Paddington, Randwick, Vaucluse, Waverley and Woollahra, the team’s traditional zone also includes the entirety of postcode 2000 – the Sydney city centre.
Success came early for the Tricolours. Led by legends like Dally Messenger, Jersey Flegg and Sandy Pearce, the club won three premierships in a row from 1911 to 1913. Another hat-trick arrived in the 1930s, along with two more flags at either end of World War II.
Although Eastern Suburbs entered the second half of the 20th century as one of rugby league’s power clubs, on-field success proved scarce from that point on. A three-decade drought was broken with back-to-back triumphs in 1974 and ’75, but the Chooks would not add to their tally of 11 flags until after the turn of the millennium.
Despite their ordinary returns on the field, Easts survived the financial hardships of the 1980s and the Super League wars of the ’90s. By the time of the NRL’s inauguration in 1998, the rebranded Sydney City Roosters were again a force to be reckoned with. Their 27-year dry spell came to an end in 2002, when Phil Gould engineered the club’s 12th first-grade premiership.
