The Roosters scored eight first-half tries with fullback James Tedesco and Walker both crossing twice. The team total of 82 was the most by a team since the Roosters beat Canterbury 87-7 in 1935. Walker finished with 36 individual points and a hat-trick of tries, as did unstoppable winger Mark Nawaqanitawase. Roosters captain Tedesco, fresh from a hat-trick of tries last week, started and finished the opening try and it was carnage from that moment. A brilliant interchange of passing between halfback Walker and Tedesco led to the No.7 slicing over.
