Canberrans have been warned to expect a "premium economy" stadium after Chief Minister Andrew Barr pledged to cut high-end finishes and venue luxuries to bring project costs under $1 billion.

Mr Barr moved to quell fears of a major budget blowout after a government-commissioned analysis revealed a new stadium at Bruce would cost between $1.339 billion and $1.869 billion, while a Civic project would cost between $2.127 billion and $2.890 billion.

Sydney Roosters dominating, angus Crichton shines, aiming for top two finish and high-scoring games.

League Unlimited

Things have just been marching on for the Sydney Roosters after another points fest against a bottom nine team. The tri-colours now are in the box seat for a top two finish and a possible home final in the first week.

Coming straight from a 1980s horror film Angus Crichton scored a hat-trick in the win and just gives the Roosters another attacking weapon (as if they needed one). They will look to pile on the points in their last two fixtures to send a message to their competition.
