Roosters v Eels: Tupou's milestone match; Moses to back up
Roosters face Eels in Round 19; Tupou's milestone match and Moses returns as Roosters aim to solidify third place.

The Roosters enter Round 19 in third place and with consecutive home games against the Eels and Storm they get a golden opportunity to solidify that position.
With five wins from six games at Allianz Stadium in 2026 the Roosters have every reason to be confident but they will also be wary of a dangerous Eels outfit coming off a superb display against Manly.
The Eels have endured a horror season with injuries but refuse to lie down, climbing from 16th to 14th on the back of wins over the Raiders and Sea Eagles in the past month.

Dragons v Eels: Cross shuffles forwards; Alo promoted to start
Dragons and Eels seek their first win in Round 2 after losses. Eels showed more promise despite their defeat.
NRL.com
The Dragons and Eels both enter Round 2 searching for their first win after disappointing starts to season 2026. The Dragons managed just one try in a 20-4 loss to Raiders, while the Eels fell 28-16 to a new-look Tigers.
Of the two teams, Parramatta showed more attacking promise in Round 1. The Eels scored three tries and remained within striking distance for much of the contest before the Tigers secured the win.
St George Illawarra struggled to create opportunities against Canberra and will need greater involvement from their playmakers, and more discipline, if they are to challenge Parramatta's defensive line.

Storm v Titans: Hughes, Meaney return; Tino, Jojo backing up
Storm face Titans with key returns; Hughes is missed as team struggles. Origin stars' performance crucial for upcoming match.
NRL.com
After stringing together three wins on the bounce against the Roosters, Knights and Raiders, the Storm came crashing back to earth in a 30-4 loss to the Sea Eagles before the bye.
The absence of gun playmaker Jahrome Hughes was sorely felt against Manly and the danger for Melbourne is that they fall too far out of the eight while the No.7 is sidelined.
All eyes will be on Origin stars Harry Grant, Cameron Munster and Trent Loiero from Melbourne and Gold Coast's Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Jojo Fifita to see how they come through Game Three and then whether they back up in a crucial game for their clubs.
