Roosters star James Tedesco scored a hat-trick against the Gold Coast in a timely reminder that he remains among the premier players in the game.
Their left-edge defence was often non-existent, inviting the Roosters to exploit it at will. A sterner test awaits as they attempt to find their old fire against Parramatta in Magic Round. It was a gift from Joseph Manu, who unselfishly flung the ball to his skipper when he could have planted it down himself. Not that this is a time for handstands. Lindsay Collins also spent time on the sidelines, sin-binned for a shoulder charge on Corey Thompson. The former Tiger added two more to the milestone with the sort of solo efforts that have become his trademark.
The Roosters ended a two-match losing streak with a 44-16 defeat of the Titans in Mackay on Saturday night.
We are getting the week right, we are identifying it, we are doing all the right things and clearly going wrong once we are out there and under pressure. “We were just beaten all over the park tonight, obviously, by the Roosters. They beat us in pretty much every area of the game, and it showed. "We weren't happy with the last couple of performances, a couple of tight ones, but that is a positive night and we feel like we learned well this week. As both staff and players we want to keep getting better and we talked about it and they went out and did it tonight. The Roosters were hanging on to to a 6-4 lead when they lost Sam Verrills (shoulder) and Lindsay Collins to the sinbin midway through the first half, but a try by captain James Tedesco while his side were a man short deflated the Titans and the tri-colours quickly stormed to a 24-4 lead when they returned to 13 men. Tedesco scored back-to-back tries in the first half to put the Roosters on top after conceding an early try before losing hooker Sam Verrills with a shoulder injury and prop Lindsay Collins to the sin bin.

His fellow winger Suaalii dived over to score soon after following another shift on the edge - with the Roosters coming away with a dominant 44-16 win in Mackay, much to the pleasure of the vocal Red, White and Blue crowd. A knock-on from the kick-off saw a swift reaction from Tedesco to the referee to order a Captain's Challenge - which was successful - and the Roosters looked to cause some havoc of their own with the boot as they forced a drop out. The pressure of possession after defending multiple sets on the line didn't trouble the Bondi Wall as the Roosters looked to head back downfield - and it was Walker swooping on an intercept to streak downfield in an effort that got the crowd on their feet. Down to twelve men for the next ten minutes, the Roosters were unfazed with their disadvantage in numbers as they headed back downfield, and soon enough Tedesco touched down in the corner for his second of the night to extend the lead through a brilliant individual effort. With the wind and momentum behind them and now back to thirteen men, the Roosters continued their raid out wide, and Momirovski, Tedesco and Walker combined to put the side back in the box seat despite a handful of passes going to ground. A dropped ball over the line handed their opponents a chance to hit back, and following an accidental offside on the other side of the field, the Titans opted to kick for goal, only for the ball to ricochet off the upright and hand over another set of six on the line.
