Roosters vs Titans Odds

The Roosters are a prohibitive 2/13 for the win on the Central Coast, with the Titans 9/2. That price implies an 18.2% probability of an upset.

The draw can be backed at 22/1, while the Roosters give up an 18.5-point start on the handicap. In that scenario, the Chooks are 10/11 and Gold Coast 5/6.

Team News

Astoundingly, Angus Crichton is among the initially-selected starting XIII after suffering a medial ligament strain in the win over the Broncos last time out.

Elsewhere, though, but Mark Nawaqanitawase and Lindsay Collins are out. Nawaqanitawase has an ankle injury, while the front rower is under concussion protocols.

Spencer Leniu and Cody Ramsey are promoted from the bench to fill the two corresponding slots.

Rugby League Odds

There are a string of changes for the Titans, with Sialetili Faeamani missing with a knee injury, while Lachlan Ilias makes way.

Jensen Taumoepeau and Zane Harrison come in for their NRL debuts in those two spots, while Oliver Pascoe replaces Sam Verrills as the starting hooker.

There are further call-ups from the bench for Cooper Bai and Klese Haas, with Arama Hau and Kurtis Morrin dropped to the interchange.

Handicap 3-way Alt 2: Roosters -24 @ 6/4

There is no doubt who should win this game, and the real trick will be in deciding which of the handicap options to go for.

The Roosters have really hit their stride recently, with their five straight wins coming with an average of 41 points scored per game. They come up against a Titans outfit who – save for their 52-10 hammering of the Eels – have chalked up just 15 per match.

So the five-score difference looks more than achievable for Robinson’s troops, who have totalled at least 33 points in each of the five wins they’ve stacked up since their Round 3 loss to the Panthers.

The 6/4 implies a 40% probability and offers us real value.
