The Sydney Roosters suffered a 30-6 loss to the defending premiers on Saturday evening at Allianz Stadium.
Captain James Tedesco claimed the Roosters only try, evading defence on the left edge to ground the ball in the 60th minute. The Skipper broke six tackles and tracked 147 run metres throughout the evening in another errorless performance.
Wingers Daniel Tupou and Junior Pauga were also strong with the ball in hand, both amassing over 150 run metres, with more than 50 of those coming post-contact.
