J Moz decides his brother is getting too much kudos and goes over for his own try.

Needless error at the play the ball from Tohu Harris. Roosters scrum inside the Warriors' 40m.

An easier conversion attempt this time and SST nails it.

Teddy with a poor offload trying to find Crichton on the left edge and it's called forward. Very haphazard attack from a Roosters side with rookie halves at the helm.

Oooft. Sitili Tupouniua has crashed into the shoulder of Eliesa Katoa attempting a tackle. The Roosters #12 is off for a HIA.

Game on. The hosts have first use of the ball and it's Isaac Liu taking the first hit-up.
Time for some footy at the SCG for your Easter Sunday night! The Roosters will blood new boys Sam Walker (half) and Ben Marschke (bench) while the Warriors are the same as last week. Tedesco v RTS... mouthwatering match up. Let's rock and roll.
