The Sydney Roosters will be out to confirm their top four status against the Parramatta Eels in their Round 24 clash at Allianz Stadium.
Trent Robinson’s side have all but confirmed their place among the top of the NRL ladder, but will do so beyond doubt with a win against the Eels.
Fresh from a bye last round, the Roosters will be aiming for a much improved defensive performance against Parramatta, after the Bondi outfit conceded 34 against the Dolphins in Round 22 and 30 to Manly a week earlier.

They host a Parramatta Eels side with little to play for other than pride for the remainder of 2024.
However, being out mathematical contention for finals football hasn’t resulted in the Eels’ performance levels plummeting, with the club beating the Warriors a fortnight ago before being narrowly beaten by Penrith last week.
With new coach Jason Ryles expected to make sweeping changes to the Eels roster next season, plenty of Eels players will be fighting to show Ryles they deserve their spot at the club for next season.
