The Roosters backline were in fine fettle in their 28-point win against a lowly Raiders side. James Tedesco continued his sparkling form with a pair of tries in the one-sided contest to kick off Super Saturday.
Roosters struck first in the contest in front of a big crowd in the capital. It was a superb line run by Victor Radley who sliced through some soft defence and Sam Walker converted for 6-0.
Next, it was the link up from the Roosters halves. Walker stabbed through a kick which Luke Keary looked to put down. It went to a bunker review and judged that Morgan Smithies impeded the five-eighth and was ruled a penalty try.
