The Roosters - the club that won premierships in 2018 and 2019 and made it to the second week of the finals last year - are friendless on the NRL Tipping panel in round six.
The same Roosters team that has won four of their five matches this year, hasn t won the confidence of any of the 16 participants in the NRL.com tipping competition heading into Friday night s match against Melbourne.
Like the Storm, the Panthers, Dragons, Titans and Rabbitohs are all heavily favoured to win this weekend.
The Dogs and Eels are outsiders, but not without hope of winning on the road according to the panelists, while the match between the Sharks and Knights is a 50/50 proposition.

Or maybe you re searching for the reset button after a horror opening weekend?
Either way, it s a wise decision to see who the experts at NRL.com are backing heading into the weekend before entering your tips.
The most interesting trend this week is that the Warriors are favourites to beat the Knights.
Yes, the Warriors did beat the fancied Titans last weekend, but the Knights made the 2020 finals and also won in round one. Either way, the forward battle in this one should be something else.
Six of the other seven games in round two have at least 85 per cent of tipsters backing the same side, with Panthers and Rabbitohs both getting all 16 tips in their corner.
