And that will do it! A great win by the Roosters who move to 2nd on the table
Starts on the left touchline and bends it back through
Good consolation for the Titans, with Khan-Pereira scoring a hat trick of his own after some great work by Brian Kelly
Roosters make a captains challenge which had about as much chance of being successful as the Titans do of winning this game
Similar spot to where he attempted Crichton’s third try, and this time there is no mistake
Safe to say the Titans have given up on this one. Sitili Tupouniua just gets outside of everyone and not a single Titan lays a hand on him as he goes over the line.
Starting just under 20 metres inside the left touchline and shanks it
CRICHTON BAGS A THIRD! This one is now well and truly out of hand for the Titans. Sitili Tupouniua breaks a tackle and finds Crichton in support in his inside, who fends away from Jojo Fifita for the try
Starting just over 10 metres in from the left touchline, makes no mistake
Crichton in the double! A linebreak for Daniel Tupou sets up the numbers on the inside with the backrower at the benefit
Starts on the left touchline, keeps it on the left upright and slowly brings it inside over the posts
Well the Titans break momentum in an unconventional manner, with a crossfield kick being unable to be fielded by the Roosters before Keano Kini picks up the ball, pirouettes and plants it over the line.
Starting on the right touchline, starts it right and brings it back through the posts
It’s a great try for James Tedesco, who dummies Brian Kelly out of the way before making his way over the line.
The Roosters are apparently hopeful Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii may return in this game. His shoulder injury was feared to be much worse than it actually is
Back underway!
Starting from the left touchline, starts it off right and it never hooks back through. That will end the half with a dominant run for the Roosters
The Roosters get a scrum seconds out from half time and they take advantage, with Luke Keary and James Tedesco combining to send Daniel Tupou over for his second
Right in front, no mistake made
An offside penalty lets the Roosters go bang-bang, with Nat Butcher breaking through the Titans middle before finding Sam Walker backing up like a good Ipswich-bred halfback should
Right on the left sideline, but keeps it dead centre all the way through
That Titans advantage didn’t last long after an error off the kick off, with Luke Keary, James Tedesco and Sitili Tupouniua combining to send Daniel Tupou over
Right in front. No mistake
He’s playing on easy mode! Picks up a bad pass, breaks the line, jogs his way to James Tedesco before making him slip and out sprinting Dom Young to the line. Alofiana Khan-Pereira take a bow!
On the right sideline, starts right and brings it too far left
NOW Dom Young gets his try. Keano Kini can’t defuse a bomb, which allows Luke Keary to put up a second kick into the corner for Young to catch and score.
Titans make a captain challenge for a knock on, and it is unsuccessful
Play stops on a handover with Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii in serious pain after a tackle attempt on David Fifita
A remarkably soft try for the Roosters to concede, with Jayden Campbell just spinning out of a Victor Radley tackle to go over the line. But it was a bit too soft, with Jaimin Jolliffe soon called for an obstruction
Great try saver from Victor Radley to deny a try from Kieran Foran
WOW! Bunker intervenes after an earlier high tackle on Sam Verrills and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves goes to the bin!
Out near the left sideline, and he pulled it back outside the left upright
Razzle dazzle footy from the Titans, with AJ Brimson and Beau Fermor combining before the utility puts Alofiana Khan-Pereira in out wide
The bunker has intervened and the knock on will become a penalty
Jayden Campbell makes an error deep inside his own half
Excellent work at dummy half from Victor Radley gets Dom Young crashing over the line. But the try is overturned due to his foot being over the side line as he launched for the try
Titans kick off goes dead on the full. This might be an ugly one folks
Just outside the right post and no mistake
A linebreak by Zach Dockar-Clay set the Roosters on the attack, and after a journey which saw the ball bounce around everywhere, Crichton was able to pick up the ball and place it over the line for the opening try
Underway now. Titans get the ball first, running left to right on your television screen
Welcome everyone to the David Fifita Memorial Cup, aka a Sunday arvo clash between the Roosters and Titans. Just over five minutes until kickoff
