They didn't trouble the scorers for the first 39:45 of the game, but a flick switched from there and the Roosters showed how good they can be, defeating the Dolphins 30-14 at Allianz Stadium.
Drew Hutchison scored a double for the Chooks, with healthy contributions from Luke Keary (in game 200), Joseph Suaalii, Billy Smith and Terrell May off the bench.
The Dolphins were brave in the first half, but couldn't match the Roosters intensity and class in the second stanza.
