It has been an up and down campaign for the Roosters so far, with injuries and suspensions meaning they have rarely had the chance to get their first-choice 17 together on the field.
But after getting the better of Manly in Round 20 and the Broncos in Round 21, the Roosters remain very much in control of their own destiny in 2022 and have key men like Luke Keary and Joey Manu in good form.
The Roosters will face teams who will be highly motivated over the final four weeks, the Wests Tigers their only opponent who won’t be playing for a finals spot.

The final four games
- Round 22 v Cowboys (H)
- Round 23 v Wests Tigers (H)
- Round 24 v Storm (A)
- Round 25 v Rabbitohs (H)
Home, sweet home
The Roosters play all but one of their remaining four matches at home, with their next three games at the Sydney Cricket Ground. But that isn't really good news, with the Roosters possessing the equal worst home record of any current top eight side (6-3). They have just three wins from seven games at the SCG this season.
Quick fix: Roosters v Broncos
On the road
Just one away trip remaining and it’s to AAMI Park where they’ve won just once in their last five visits. Playing on the road hasn’t been a big issue for the Roosters this season, with five wins in their 11 away games so far.
Must-watch game

They don't come much bigger than this week's clash against the Cowboys with Todd Payten's side coming to town with their eyes on a top two finish. It was the Roosters who triumphed 28-4 when they met back in Round 3, but it'll be a different looking Cowboys outfit this time around with a new-found confidence front and centre.
Plenty of attention will be on the final round showdown with the Rabbitohs at the brand new Allianz Stadium, but it won't count for much if the Tricolours have stumbled before then with Trent Robinson's side needing to win the majority of their remaining matches up until then to stay in the hunt for the top eight.
- Best case finish: 2nd
- Worst case finish: 11th
