Sharks vs Roosters

A masterclass from skipper James Tedesco led the Roosters to a 36-16 win over the Sharks at PointsBet Stadium on Saturday night.

The Roosters will head to Canberra in round 13 without skipper James Tedesco on Blues Origin duty. That match is on a Sunday so any Sharks who play State of Origin will have three days to recover before attempting to back up. The 23-year-old who hails from Goulburn became Shark No.552. - Jared Waerea-Hargreaves led the way for the Roosters in the middle of the ruck with 16 hit-ups for 152 metres. Come the 21st minute and Tupou had his second of the night and 125th of his career after Luke Keary and Tedesco combined from a scrumbase play to give the winger a saloon passage to the line. The Roosters had the early ascendancy thanks to a Daniel Tupou try in just the fourth minute after Drew Hutchison took the odds to running on the last tackle and found his winger with a crafty offload.

Trent Robinson has finalised the side to take on the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in tonight's Round 12 match at Shark Park.

Trent Robinson handed his former understudy Craig Fitzgibbon another lesson when he guided the Roosters to a 16-point win over Cronulla.

The Sharks ensured the finale would be tighter than their performance deserved when Sione Katoa reduced the deficit to 14 points with an acrobatic finish in the right corner. Nine minutes before the break, Tupou turned provider to set up Tedesco for another four-pointer. Two tackles later, Jared Warea-Hargreaves crossed to make the lead all the more comfortable. Roosters halfback Luke Keary burst through Cronulla’s line easily in the middle. Tupou extended the Roosters’ lead midway through the half when finishing a slick move from a scrum. Hooker Drew Hutchinson caught Cronulla off-guard when he ran on the fifth and flick-passed to Tupou to cross for a try.

James Tedesco has led from the front to spearhead the Sydney Roosters to a 36-16 NRL win over Cronulla after the Sharks staged a second-half fightback.

Fitzgibbon was coaching against Robinson for the first time since he left the Roosters at the end of last year. There was no backing off even though he's got a big six-week period, he was pretty impressive." The fullback's jinking runs helped get the Roosters out of the backfield and he was in the right place every time as back-up or support.
