Monaro faced the tough challenge of coming up against last year's premiers to kick start their campaign.
The Colts started strong, with lock and captain Billy Jay Pumpa getting over the line for the first points of the match.
It didn't take long before Roosters snagged the lead through quick back-to-back tries from winger Semi Leweniqila.
