The Sydney Roosters are rapidly approaching the last chance saloon as their hopes of a premiership tilt hinges on stringing a winning run together towards the end of the season.
The first step in this is to beat the Melbourne Storm at the Sydney Cricket Ground to kickstart their season after suffering a nail-biting loss to Manly in their last match before the bye.
