Roosters vs Storm prelim final odds

Sydney Roosters$1.60 at Bet365
Melbourne Storm$2.45 at Ladbrokes

Only one of the top two teams in this year’s home-and-away season will advance to the 2019 NRL Grand Final.

The Sydney Roosters finished the regular fixtures with a loss to the Rabbitohs, but they bounced back with a comprehensive 30-6 win over their arch-rivals in the first week of finals.

Now the Chooks take on the Melbourne Storm, who have had to go the long way round after a narrow loss to the Canberra Raiders two weekends ago.

That disappointment was short-lived, as the minor premiers thumped the Parramatta Eels 32-0 in the semi-finals to reach the penultimate weekend for the sixth time in eight years.

Storm fans will want to see more of that ruthless streak when the men in purple take to the SCG this Saturday.

Roosters vs Storm betting predictions

Sydney Roosters by 1-12 points – $2.90 at Ladbrokes

Whatever happens, this will be a terrific game of footy. The Storm were the best team all the way through the home-and-away season, but their premiership credentials took a huge hit in the first week of finals. The Roosters have more of an x-factor, especially in the back half, and the SCG has served them well this season. Get on the Tricolours to edge it in a close one.
