Star winger's super Blues audition helps Roosters to dominant clean sheet over struggling Raiders
The Roosters won 26-0 against the Raiders, with Sam Walker excelling and Mark Nawaqanitawase impressing with a hat-trick.
Fox League
The Roosters' season is back on track, recording a clean sheet in a 26-0 win over the Raiders in Canberra.
Sam Walker was outstanding before he heads into Origin camp again while returning winger Mark Nawaqanitawase put his hand up for Blues selection with a hat-trick.
"Sam Walker was the best player on the field tonight," Greg Alexander said on Fox League.
Alexander said he was impressed with Nawaqanitawase's performance but doesn't see how he leapfrogs incumbent Blues wingers Tolu Koula and Brian To'o.
Canberra playmaker Ethan Strange didn't do much to lock down a starting spot for NSW in Game II, but he was far from the only Raider who failed to make an impact.

NRL Round 14: Dolphins win 40-14 over North Queensland Cowboys
The Dolphins defeated the Cowboys 40-14, with late tries sealing the game despite a spirited comeback attempt from Texas.
The Australian
The Dolphins withstood a thrilling comeback attempt to beat the Cowboys 40-14 in a Queensland Day blockbuster in Townsville.
A sublime Jake Clifford 40/20 inspired a second-half surge but 20 minutes of pressure only amounted to one try and the Dolphins put the game beyond reach once momentum swung back in their favour.
Three tries in the final 15 minutes, including a barnstorming effort from Tully Tigers junior Tom Flegler, created a lopsided scoreboard which didn't accurately reflect the tight contest.
Wingers Selwyn Cobbo and Jamayne Isaako carved up the Cowboys edges, combining for three tries to make it five wins in a row for the Dolphins.
North Queensland's defence was markedly better than the round 13 horror show in Canberra but questions remain about the squad's resilience.

Brisbane chairman launches passionate defence of under-fire coach Michael Maguire
Brisbane chairman Karl Morris defends coach Michael Maguire amidst the Broncos' struggles, aiming to salvage their title defense.
The Australian
Brisbane chairman Karl Morris has launched a passionate defence of Michael Maguire and backed the premiership coach to salvage the Broncos' teetering title defence.
Morris rubbished concerns Maguire could be losing the dressing room as the Brisbane fight to keep their back-to-back title hopes alive in Saturday night's derby against the Titans at Suncorp Stadium.
Languishing in 11th, the Broncos (5-7) are reeling from four straight losses, including last Sunday's 30-26 disaster against the Dragons, which represented Brisbane's worst performance under Maguire's watch.
Such was Maguire's concern, he stormed out of the coach's box and made his way down to the sideline, emulating Canberra's Ricky Stuart as he barked orders at his troops in a futile bid to inspire a comeback win.
Maguire later went nuclear on the squad in the sheds, with veteran playmaker Ben Hunt revealing the two-time premiership coach delivered an all-time spray as he digested the pain of the Dragons snapping a 15-match losing streak.
