It will be a battle of the fullbacks in the first NRL semifinal this week between the Roosters and the Sea Eagles as James Tedesco and Tom Trbojevic will line up against each other.

Both players who were part of New South Wales Origin winning squad have not opposed each other this season.

Tedesco was widely regarded as the best player in the game in recent years however many believe Trbojevic has overtaken his counterpart after scoring 25 tries this year.

The winner of the match will take on Melbourne Storm in the second preliminary final next week.

The Roosters take on the Sea Eagles at 9.50pm this Friday while the Panthers play the Eels in the second semifinal at 9.50pm Saturday.
