The Warriors beat the Broncos to kick off Saturday's action, before the Sea Eagles clash with the Raiders, and the Cowboys host the Roosters in Townsville.

Brisbane have lost a second straight game, against the Warriors, but may have bigger concerns in coming weeks thanks to injuries and suspension. He came out of a number of clashes limping, and finished the game with heavy strapping on his right knee. Earlier, the Warriors beat Brisbane 18-6, and Sea Eagles halfback Daly Cherry-Evans dominated with his kicking game as Manly beat the Raiders 25-6.

Teddy responds as Roosters' big guns step up; Cowboys dealt brutal reality check: 3 Big Hits.

“He can’t wait for the game to come to him. Luke Keary threw a swift cutout pass to Kevin Naiqama who took off down the sideline and put in a grubber for Keary to potentially collect, but the Roosters halfback had been taken out. Expert analyst Greg Alexander added: “Well that was better than your regular tap-on pass because he actually caught the ball above his head and then offloaded it. That is such a tough pass to throw. Then Manu set up Victor Radley for the second. I know he’s young and hasn’t played a lot of fullback but he’s got to get himself involved, he’s got to impose himself on the game,” he said. Sam Walker put up a bomb, which Daniel Tupou batted back for Paul Momirovski to score. The Roosters piled on tries in the first half, but it was Manu’s four-pointer in the first two minutes of the second half that Greg Alexander believes the Cowboys were really “exposed.” “They are a young group and they’ve come up against a different kettle of fish in the Roosters tonight who are real premiership favourites when they play like this,” he said. Victor Radley scored and was equally important on the other side of the ball, coming up with a crunching tackle on Cowboys superstar Jason Taumalolo. The Roosters skipper looked dangerous every time he had the ball and had came up with a brilliant moment when he batted on a pass — basically without looking — onto Joseph Manu. After threatening down the right edge a couple of times with no luck, the Roosters decided to try the other side of the field and came up trumps.

Resurgent Roosters ambush ill-disciplined Cowboys (The Sydney Morning Herald)

The Roosters dominated a Cowboys side that had three players sin-binned in a 28-4 victory in Townsville.

The former prop is considered one of the most promising young mentors in the game and his time will come.“I think it’s worth noting that our leadership was really on show tonight and for the week,” Ryles said.“On Tuesday the boss goes down wit COVID, on Tuesday afternoon we get told we’re going to Townsville a day early because we can’t get a ground to train on because of the weather.“Not once did we have anyone complain or whinge, we overcame, adapted and put in a performance like that.“It’s a credit to our leadership, our whole playing group and our staff. Two of the six Roosters tries came when Gilbert was off the field.“We were pretty dumb at certain times,” said Cowboys coach Todd Payten.So are the Roosters really back?It is a question that won’t be answered anytime soon. The Roosters had the greater possession and made the most of it to secure their second win of the season.Joseph Manu, who was among the Roosters’ best, crosses for a try on Saturday night.This was already a tough task for Todd Payten’s side when they had their full complement, which was made more difficult when first Tom Gilbert, then Griffin Neame and finally Chad Townsend were sin-binned for ill discipline. This is a man with the power of a back-rower with all the skills of a member of the spine.Another highlight was a try assist from Tedesco. The NSW fullback produced a tip-on pass over his head, which hit the chest of an intended target he couldn’t see.“Very happy,” Tedesco told Fox Sports afterwards. There was a flat pass to set up his lock and then a flick pass for his winger. “Last week was very disappointing, especially for me personally, it wasn’t a captain’s performance.“I tried to keep it simple for our team, we played Roosters footy down the middle and completed and were disciplined.

Roosters overpower Cowboys as sin-bins prove costly (NRL.COM)

Sydney Roosters got their premiership campaign back on track with a 28-4 win in Townsville against a Cowboys side unable to withstand the loss of three ...

They just adapted and they put in a performance like that so I think it is a credit to our leadership, and the whole playing group and whole staff": Roosters assistant coach Jason Ryles. Luke Keary threw a long ball to Joey Manu, who got on the outside of Valentine Holmes and then produced a sublime flick pass to put the Fiji captain over in the corner. To play 30 minutes with 12 men and only concede the points that we did, I am wrapped with the effort but in saying that we were pretty dumb at certain times. * The home side coped better when reduced to 12-men for a second time after rookie forward Griffin Neame was sinbinned for a late shot on Sam Walker, with the Roosters crossing the line but Luke Keary being denied a try. Prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, lock Victor Radley, five-eighth Luke Keary and fullback James Tedesco showed outstanding leadership, with the only concern for the Roosters being the goalkicking of Sam Walker, who landed just two conversions.
