In today’s match the Roosters took the lead after 3 minutes when Shaun Kenny-Dowall scored. He was in again three minutes later to take the score to 8-0. With the Roosters on a roll Braith Anasta made it three tries in 10 minutes. He converted his try to make it 14-0.
The main difference between the sides was the kicking game. The Roosters put pressure on the Warriors with their kicking game.
The Warriors scored a try after 17 minutes through Aidan Kirk however just 4 minutes later a good kick from Mitchell Pearce helped Setaimata Sa scramble for a try. This Anasta was able to convert to make the score 20-4.
The Warriors could have easily folded at this point. To their credit they fought back with a try and penalty goal to make it 20-12 at halftime.
It was all Roosters in the second half as they did all the scoring. Tries to Anasta, Kenny-Dowall and Perrett took the final score to 38-12. The Roosters can go home full of confidence after this impressive win.
