Tufuga steps on the sideline.
This is gonna be tight. It's a try for the moment. But don't be surprised if the Bunker steps in.
PENALTY ROOSTERS: Taufua pinned for a HIP DROP on Togatuki.
Sarah Togatuki in all sorts of discomfort here.
Jocelyn Kelleher is on the goal kicking duties, she fails to add the extras. Eels 6 - Roosters 4.

Temara is a HIA (via Niko)
Eels complete their set after points. Abbi Church is done for Parramatta though.
Zahara Temara came off the field. No update from FOX as of yet, Jocelyn Kelleher comes on though. A handy replacement.
Preston adds the extras. Eels 6 - Roosters 0
Eventually, the weight of possession was going to tell and Ash Quinlan throws the dummy to catch the Roosters napping and Parramatta hit the scoreboard first here this afternoon.
Power knocks it down. Six to go for the Eels.
PENALTY EELS: Raecene McGregor comes back through the ruck.
Sergis knocks on. Took one replay for Chris Butler.
BUNKER: Sharpe starts NO TRY claiming a Roosters knock on.
Preston went the grubber with Bremner in the line. But Leianne Tufuga was calm and let it sail over the dead-ball line.
Eels on the attack now!
Leianne Tufuga loses the footy coming out of yardage. Roosters seem to be a touch complacent here.
Quinlan recovers the grubber kick. Eels now working it out of yardage.
Roosters on the attack here.
Gayle Broughton's pass goes over the sideline. She bit off a little more than she could chew there the Kiwi 7's star.

After an earlier drinks break in the first semi. Niko Parajillo on the sideline for FOX says we won't have one here.
PENALTY ROOSTERS: Sarah Togatuki was held on for far too long.
Both sides are able to get through their opening sets here in this one. Slight advantage to Parramatta though I suspect.
