Week 2 of the NRL finals series is here. We take a look at some of the head-to-head and individual player stats heading into the weekend’s games.
The Roosters’ reward for a hard earned win over Cronulla is a trip to Melbourne for a sudden death finals match with key injuries. The Roosters have a few good players out like Joey Manu, making life a lot harder. But Melbourne aren’t going that great, as per last weekend’s result. In fact you could argue they haven’t been great this season, and are hardly on a roll. Unlike the Roosters. And talking of injuries, we wish Paps a speedy recovery. Sometimes rugby league just sucks. Overall, who knows with this match to kick off Finals Week 2.

KEY PLAYER HEAD-TO-HEAD STATS
Sadly, no Ryan Papenhuyzen after his horror injury last weekend, but the ever reliable Nick Meaney has done the job for most of the season and faces one of the best in James Tedesco. Another key matchup is Cameron Munster versus Luke Keary in the halves where Munster will be looking to make up for a lacklustre trip to Brisbane. The player versus player look ends with the current and former Storm hookers.
