The Sydney Roosters finished their final regular season match with a 50-20 loss to the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Head coach Trent Robinson used the fixture to rest key players including James Tedesco and Daly Cherry-Evans while providing playing time to debutants Hayden Barton and Aston Warwick. During the contest, prop Spencer Leniu conceded three penalties and engaged in a verbal confrontation with Keaon Koloamatangi, drawing multiple warnings from referee Adam Gee. Late in the match, De La Salle Va'a and Lachlan Hubner were both sent to the sin bin following another altercation. Robinson stated that while he wants Leniu to maintain his aggressive style, the player must improve his discipline to avoid becoming a liability during the upcoming finals campaign.
