Fox have revised the news on Brandon Smith - it's now feared to be a MCL injury which would almost certainly be season ending

59min

Attempted by Adam Cook.

Leaves it right again

Victor Radley is off with a shoulder injury. This is getting bad for the Roosters

48min

Elliot Whitehead returns from the sin bin. Roosters had some chances against 12 but could not capitalise

43min

Brandon Smith also has a high ankle syndesmosis injury it seems. If he needs surgery, it could be season over for him as well.

40min

Welcome back, if you're just joining us the big news is Sam Walker's season is likely over with a suspected torn ACL. Massive implications for the Roosters premiership chances

28min

Try: Raiders
Scored by Simi Sasagi. Kick to come.

Elliot Whitehead clearly doesn't want Shaun Johnson to be the only player with a five-star swansong. After scoring the first, an offload from the Englishman sends Sasagi over for Canberra's second.

Kicked by Luke Keary.

The focus is still on Walker, but Keary knocks over the penalty goal to give the Roosters a lead

No try as expected but the Roosters will receive a penalty. But that's the least of the Roosters problems with Sam Walker in serious pain and being carried off the field.

12min

The bunker is looking at a possible Tedesco try, but Sam Walker is hurt! This is terrible news for Roosters fans.

11min

And Jordan Rapana is leaving the field, with what looks to be a nasty cheekbone/eye socket problem. Could be the end of his NRL career

11min

As I say that the Roosters cross the line, but the try will be denied due to James Tedesco passing off the ground. Either way it is a penalty for the Roosters as Tedesco was tackled in mid air.

10min

Neither side really able to establish themselves so far. In worse news for the Chooks Brandon Smith is getting some treatment on a knee issue.

Good afternoon everyone! Final match of the round as the Raiders hope to keep their slim finals hopes alive, while the Roosters can take a big step towards a top 2 berth
