Cowboys are on a roll. A high kick for Nanai goes through everything and it is a dropout.

Been a sedate start to the second half. Both sides with a few errors.

Lovely take from Joseph Suaalii. He charges onto the ball and takes the kick on the full then earns the side a penalty. All Roosters thus far.

Roosters have dominated the early exchanges and they get reward with CHad Townsend stepping out.

Wonderfully observed minute's silence at the SCG. Both teams go to their own ends of the stadium and we're almost ready for kick-off.

Here come both sides onto the SCG turf. Cowboys in their away jersey and the Roosters in their red, white and blue led out by the milestone man! We're set up for a fabulous clash. Lets go.

Happy Saturday! We kick off the triple header with a rare cracker at 3pm. North Queensland Cowboys make their maiden voyage to the Sydney Cricket Ground to face a hungry Sydney Roosters. Also it is game Game 200 for James Tedesco, the durable fullback for the Chooks, while the Cowboys hope to gain some ground on the Panthers after their loss on Thursday night. Also Vale Paul Green. Someone involved with both these clubs and we hope his family, friends and work mates are okay.
