Roosters v Rabbitohs: Walker returns; Murray's miracle comeback

The Roosters face a straightforward task: win to secure their place in the finals as they take on the Rabbitohs this Friday night at Allianz Stadium.

After an impressive 40-10 victory against the Storm, Trent Robinson's team enters the match brimming with confidence, but they must remain cautious against a rival eager to disrupt their plans.

In addition to the ambition of potentially ousting the Roosters from the playoffs, Souths have their own historical milestone to aim for. Alex Johnston is just two tries away from matching Ken Irvine's record for the most premiership tries, requiring three to claim the record outright.

With numerous narratives unfolding, fans can expect an unforgettable evening at Allianz as another significant chapter unfolds in this longstanding rivalry.
