In Round 15, the Roosters faced the Knights in Newcastle after a week of rest.
The Knights, fresh off a thrilling golden point victory against Manly, dominated early on, leading 8-0 for the first hour of the match.
However, the Roosters, missing key players like Lindsay Collins and Angus Crichton due to Origin commitments, found their rhythm as young forward Salesi Foketi scored a remarkable solo try.
This momentum shifted the game, and a try from Siua Wong ultimately secured the Roosters' comeback win.
Meanwhile, in Townsville, the Cowboys faced the Dolphins in an all-Queensland clash.
The Cowboys were also impacted by Origin selections, though they welcomed back Murray Taulagi.
Unfortunately, Jason Taumalolo was ruled out just before the game due to a calf injury, leaving the Cowboys at a disadvantage.
The Dolphins capitalized on this opportunity and emerged victorious, moving up to sixth on the ladder.
