State of Origin Game Two has thrown a spanner in the works for both sides heading into the Friday night clash at Suncorp Stadium.

The Dolphins and Roosters both enter Round 15 dramatically re-shaped, with a combined dozen players called up for representative duty.

The Queensland-based side enter this clash with five wins in a row, looking for their sixth.

With so many first-choice stars absent, this match shapes as a golden opportunity for fringe players on both rosters to make good impressions on their coaches.

Dolphins vs Roosters Prediction and Betting Tips 

Head-to-Head Prediction 

The Dolphins are without five Origin representatives, with Trai Fuller, Tevita Naufahu, Felise Kaufusi and Oryn Keeley all earning starting opportunities.

The Roosters’ losses are even more staggering, with seven players all unavailable due to State of Origin.

Daly Cherry-Evans shifts to halfback for the first time this season, Hugo Savala will jump into the five-eighth jumper, Cody Ramsey replaces James Tedesco and Reece Foley will make his NRL debut.

The depth and talent the Dolphins have without their Origin stars make them the favourites, and having the home crowd as well will be a huge benefit heading into this match.

Betting tip: The Dolphins.

First Try Scorer Prediction 

Since the Dolphins have been in the NRL and played the Roosters, 80% of the first try scorers have been an outside back from the Roosters.

The only time the Dolphins have scored first came from Ray Stone in 2023.

We expect the script to flip just slightly, with Jack Bostock scoring first against the Roosters, taking advantage of new combinations the Roosters have.

Betting tip: Jack Bostock.

Over/Under Prediction 

Each of Sydney's last four matches has gone under the total match points line.

Betting tip: Under (51.5) total match points. 

Line Prediction

Sydney has covered the line in four of its last five away matches.

Betting tip: Roosters (+5.5) line.
