The Raiders stunned the Roosters 24-20 in arguably one of the club's greatest wins given the shocking injury toll and ability of their rivals | SMHsport
But the Green Machine somehow stunned the premiers on a wet Thursday night at the Sydney Cricket Ground that played host to another magic moment in Australian sporting history.Coach Ricky Stuart deserved to take a bow for galvanising his players to lift and pinch the 24-20 win."I said last week I don't care what people say or think because they don't know what's actually under the jumper or what we're built on.
Wighton was placed on report for a first-half lifting tackle on Brett Morris, while Williams clocked Morris in the second half with a swinging left arm, which forced the Roosters' veteran winger off the field for a head injury assessment. The Roosters were chasing their seventh win from eight games since the competition resumed, and were not awful in their first back at their spiritual home.Roosters coach Trent Robinson was disappointed with some of the soft tries scored down the middle of the park.
Morris was able to cross after some handy footwork and a cut-out pass from James Tedesco. His second stemmed from a lovely looping Kyle Flanagan pass which sailed over the head of Nick Cotric.Josh Papalii scores a try against the Roosters.Even when the Roosters slotted a penalty goal for the dubious Papalii penalty involving Crichton, the visitors refused to lose their cool.
