The Penrith Panthers ended their five-match losing streak with a strong performance led by Dylan Edwards, who is now in contention for the NSW Blues fullback position.
Despite a scrappy win over the Sydney Roosters, the Panthers showed signs of improvement with Nathan Cleary becoming the club's highest point scorer.
The Roosters faced challenges with the loss of Angus Crichton before the match and Nat Butcher early on due to injury.
Despite these setbacks, they started strong with an early try from Daniel Tupou but ultimately fell short as the Panthers rallied to win 40-12.
Both teams are likely to be unsatisfied with their overall performances in the match.
