PAUGA GETS HIS TRY!!! Tedesco with the break and Pauga backing up perfectly. Under the posts.

40min

Shameless Plug: I'm hosting a Rugby League quiz show this Wednesday night at 8 pm. LU's very own AJ will be appearing. Join in live here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr2gWbHrLXQ

40min

Halftime here and we're all square at 12-all. Dogs lead early but Roosters came back real well. Entertaining game this. See you all in ten minutes.

40min

Burton clubs a two-point field goal attempt but it goes wide. Worth a shot as the siren sounds.

40min

No try. Easy decision. That would have been a story though

39min

To the video ref for a possible Teddy hatty here. Doesn't look good.

37min

Alomoti with his best Pat Maholmes impression knocking the ball forward by seven metres.

29min

Dogs on the attack here. Pauga makes an error after slipping on the kick return.

Conversion: Roosters
Kicked by Joseph Suaalii.

Right down the middle from Suaalii

TEDESCO HAS A DOUBLE!!! You knew he would bounce back. Roosters well on top now
