Saturday, August 1, 3.00 PM, Round 12, Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney, Sydney Roosters take on Gold Coast Titans NRL Match Preview
Titans boosted after David Fifita signing and the evidence was there against the Panthers in Round 11, their belief and improvement is beginning to shape their competitive nature installing much more confidence for the Titans team and the club moving forward, though the Titans have yet another massive test this week after lately battling a run of top eight teams now they have the Roosters to contend with, the Roosters themselves may feel boosted this Round with the imminent return of Sonny Bill Williams so it will be hard to contain the Roosters, can the Titans put a dent in the Roosters defense? that’s the question to win games you must score points.

The last time these two teams met the Roosters at home embarrassed the Titans 58-6. Previously, in earlier years and most recent form, 19 matches played between the Roosters and the Titans favour the Roosters winning 11, all other statistics indicate this game could be a repeat of the last time these two teams met.
Sydney Roosters for the win.
If we had to pick a line?
