VALIANT: Walker stars despite loss

VICTORY: Roosters stay unbeaten

Alex Johnston6.5
Was busy. Got himself involved without threatening too much
FULLBACK
Michael Gordon8
Hard to believe he was talking retirement. Fabulous first half.
Sitiveni Moceidreke6
Still green but looks nimble enough. Needs a good a nick-name.
WING
Daniel Tupou7.5
Is in the sort of form that won his a Kangaroos Test spot in 2014.
Siosifa Talaki5.5
Hard runner of the ball but had a tough night marking Mitchell.
CENTRE
Latrell Mitchell7.5
Memo Roosters…..get this bloke the ball more often. Six tackle busts.
Robert Jennings6
Involved but came up with a couple of mistakes and didn’t excel
CENTRE
Joseph Manu6
Made a big tackle on Sutton to prevent a try but missed plenty as well.
Bryson Goodwin7
Saw plenty of football and threatened a few times down left wing
WING
Shaun Kenny-Dowall6
Rocks and diamonds. Damaging but always good for an error or two.
Cody Walker8
Outstanding first half but quieter second 40. Souths biggest threat.
5/8
Luke Keary7
Quality not quantity. Some nice touches for a couple of tries against old team.
Adam Reynolds7.5
Execution wasn’t always there but couldn’t have done more
H/BACK
Mitchell Pearce8.5
Ran the show brilliantly. Kicked great and took a lot of right options.
Tom Burgess6
Toiled hard but a couple of costly errors didn’t help his side.
PROP
Jared Waerea-Hargreaves7.5
Runs at brick walls for fun. Loved the tough stuff here.
Robbie Farah6.5
Led the tackle count but couldn’t unlock great Roosters defence.
HOOKER
Paul Carter6.5
A great competitor who showed his versatility. Made decent fist of hooker.
Jason Clark5
Honest but lacks the size and punch to be a starter in the front row.
PROP
Dylan Napa6
Seemed a bit down on his usual rip and tear performance.
John Sutton6
Didn’t see enough of the footy to make any real impact.
2ND ROW
Boyd Cordner8.5
Charged like a rhino all night and made his tackles hurt.
Kyle Turner5.5
Solid as usual and versatile but didn’t have an influence out there.
2ND ROW
Mitchell Aubusson7
Cleaned up some threatening Souths raids with his defence.
Sam Burgess7
Strong first half but didn’t come back out after failing concussion test
LOCK
Aidan Guerra6.5
Strong early and made a decent contribution.
Angus Crichton7
Good hitter in defence and tough. Recovered well after early error.
I/CHANGE
Isaac Liu6
Good left foot step and gives Roosters a ball-playing option off bench.
Damien Cook7
Lifted his side’s attack with his pace out of dummy half.
I/CHANGE
Zane Tetevano6.5
Is showing why coach Robinson had the faith to sign him.
Robbie Rochow6.5
Strong stint running the footy while out there.
I/CHANGE
Ryan Matterson7
Played decent minutes and came up with a strong work-rate.
Zane Musgrove7
Would be in my starting side next week. Offers some real grunt.
I/CHANGE
Connor Watson6.5
What a luxury to have someone as versatile on the bench.
