Roosters vs Eels

Roosters young guns shine on big stage, Eels fail to back up despite epic comeback: 3 Big Hits.

The Eels winger Hayze Perham was there and he climbed up and all over the top of him. Keary is controlling the ship and it allows Walker to play off the back of it. “And just before halftime, the presence of mind to take the field goal. He summed up the play so well.” With the game evenly poised at 25-24 in the second half, Suaalii soared high to produce one of the catches of the season to score his second and give the Roosters some much needed breathing space. “It looks like the Eels are trying to score of a lot of their plays.” “The Eels had 27 tackles inside the Roosters 20 metre line in the first half and Papali’i was trying to get to Sam Walker, but Walker was holding his gloves up,” Cronk said. “He realised Tom Opacic is in the bin therefore Gutherson comes to defend in the line and Sam Walker did this in the backyard as a kid in Ipswich. Papali’i gave the Eels a sniff of a comeback with his second try of the afternoon to cut the lead to 13. Walker in particular was excellent in setting up a try for James Tedesco and producing a brilliant chip and chase try for himself when the Eels were reduced to 12 men. The Roosters halves have had their share of critics in 2022, but Sam Walker and Luke Keary put in their best performance as a combination to lead their side to an upset win over the Eels. The Roosters have beaten the Eels 31-24 on the back of masterclass performances from youngsters Sam Walker and Joseph Suaalii in the match of Magic Round.
