And here I was writing the obituary. The Roosters, they’re back. Thanks to Egan Butcher’s brilliant centre play. Not a typo. Cronulla’s edge defence rushed up on the Roosters 40-metre line, and Butcher was able to get away a fine offload under pressure.
Daniel Tupou away, does very well in traffic, finds James Tedesco on the fly and he’s in under the posts. My they needed that like nothing else. Some great attacking footy in this contest. Who needs defence anyway?
In less fantastic scenes, Billy Smith is out of the game after failing his HIA from earlier in the half.
