The Waratahs have been somewhat of the surprise of the season thus far as after uncertainty surrounded them at the start of the season, they have put together a side who are building as one of the stronger sides in the competition.

To return of Willie and Moses Lolohea, as well as Jack Cooper, has been central to their success as Cooper has come from playing reserves for the Black and Whites in 2021 to pushing his claim as one of the best playmakers in the competition.

The Roosters, on the other hand, stamped their authority on the competition last weekend with a convincing victory over an undermanned Leeton side in the clash at the top of the table.

The only downside for the Roosters has been their discipline, with two players sent to the sin-bin last week.
