This will be the first time the Roosters have held the Raiders scoreless in a game, if they can hold on for the final few minutes. It’s been a few years since the Chooks have held anyone scoreless, so Trent Robinson is going to be very chuffed with their defensive effort tonight.
And they’re the team attacking in the final minutes, a Sam Walkker chip trapping Jed Stuart in goal – although James Tedesco is penalised for coming in late to help shove the winger past the tryline.
So Canberra kick for touch and get into the Roosters’ half, but their energy is just about gone now and they’re not looking too enthusiastic about producing a miracle attacking play.
And there goes the full-time whistle, and it’s a shutout. The Chooks have battled a tough team in tough conditions – it’s about 4 degrees in Canberra at the moment – and come away with a very convincing win.
Full-time: Roosters beat Raiders 26-0
