Roosters at last win at Bruce
Stadium

The first win for Roosters at Bruce Stadium since 1991, and they do it in style, winning 38-12, against a sometime disorganised Raiders pack.

Both teams started well enough, however the Roosters capatilized on unforced errors by the Canberra team, and soon had the healthy lead of 24-6 at half time.

A lot of chances to offload for the Roosters and soft tackles let the Raiders down, as at times they had the Sydney team on the back foot.

But the class of the Roosters showed through, and in the end they scored 7 tries to 2. Mullins (pictured), against his old team, had an exceptional game for the Roosters, along with Fitzgibbon. Crocker, for his part, tried hard all night for the Canberra team.
