'Biggest concerning factor' strangling Roosters

[Raidercast]

Conceding 89 points in the last two weeks is the "biggest concerning factor" for the Roosters heading into their grand final rematch with the Raiders on Friday night, says Billy Slater.

The Tricolours were one of the best defensive teams all season despite a host of injuries but a 60-point blow out against arch-rivals the Rabbitohs in Round 20 saw their points against column balloon to 322, which ranked fifth.

While their start against Penrith last week was a lot better, Trent Robinson's men succumbed to the same deficiencies that dogged them against Souths. When they conceded points they did so at an alarming rate.
