Teddy backs Walker to return
James Tedesco has given a big hint on the fitness of Sam Walker.
Walker could make a miraculous return from injury with Tedesco saying “Sammy’s a chance”.
“He was training this week, running and running his plays well,” Tedesco said on Nine.
“He’ll be a real chance this week.”
That’s full-time
That’s a statement from the Chooks tonight!
The final score is 46-10 as the Roosters bounce back successfully from that loss to the Panthers.
Will they have Sam Walker back next week? That could be a massive inclusion.

More Mark points
Well now it’s just getting ugly.
The Roosters have another try through Mark Nawaqanitawase.
Robert Toia put a grubber in and it bobbled around before the cross-code star picked it up and swan-dived over the line.
“It’s party time now for the Roosters,” Cameron Smith said on Nine.
Roosters fans mock Mulitalo
Roosters fans have shown a poster showing Mark Nawaqanitawase holding Ronaldo Mulitalo like a baby.
Both men have had a rivalry since the last time these sides met.
“I think Ronaldo would even like that,” Brad Fittler said on Nine.

The Roosters are leaving no doubt now
Teddy’s into the game now, and the Roosters are heading to a preliminary final.
The Roosters had a nice in and out play going on with Siua Wong catching the ball and popping it back inside to Tedesco.
Tedesco juggled the ball but kept clean possession and went over.
That’s another try
Robert Toia has shaken off any fears of an injury to score what is definitely the winner.
A kick went up and the contest was between Toia and Ronaldo Mulitalo.
The dynamic and reliable Roosters centre put his body in the perfect position and beat Mulitalo to score.

Who else but Marky Mark?
The Sharks are being made to pay for bottling multiple chances.
The Roosters went up into attacking territory and went from the left side of the post and spread the ball wide.
A looping pass from Daly Cherry-Evans found an unmarked Mark Nawaqanitawase on the wing who went in and scored untouched.
TRINDALL’S DROPPED IT
Oh, a massive moment!
Braydon Trindall was over the line but Billy Smith dislodged the ball in the tackle.
Trindall has his hands on his head and hits his leg in frustration.
“He can’t believe it,” Phil Gould said on Nine.
