Live coverage: Roosters take on Sharks in NRL 2018 qualifying final

COOPER Cronk has landed a late field goal to edge the Roosters to a 21-12 victory over the Sharks at Allianz Stadium. LIVE COVERAGE

THE minor premiership-winning Roosters have the firepower to blow the Sharks out of the water, but will the resilient defence of Cronulla withstand the Tri-colours’ attacking barrage?

The Sydney Roosters have prevailed to the grand final qualifier with a 21-12 win over the Cronulla Sharks.

The Roosters were given the ultimate test against a Cronulla side who will rue missed opportunities to cause an upset at Allianz Stadium.

Wade Graham looks to have potentially done his ACL which is massive for Cronulla's short and long-term prospects, while Latrell Mitchell could come under-fire for a crusher tackle.

Cronulla will face Penrith in next week's semi-final, the Roosters will play either the Rabbitohs, Dragons or Broncos in a fortnight's time for a place in the NRL decider.
