The Roosters have once again shown their dominance in the NRL, putting on a masterclass performance against the Wests Tigers in the pouring rain at Allianz Stadium.

Despite the slippery conditions, Trent Robinson's men continued to play their trademark attacking style, leaving the Tigers in their wake with a thrilling 40-6 victory.

With a total of 480 points scored this season, the Roosters are leading the competition in terms of attack, outrunning even the Melbourne Storm by 80 points.

Their high-scoring games have become a norm, having surpassed the 30-point mark seven times this season and maintaining an impressive average of 30 points per game.

But it's not just their attack that's earning them victories, as the Roosters boast one of the best defensive records in the league, conceding fewer points than all but two teams.

Their well-rounded performance on both ends of the field has solidified their spot in fourth place on the ladder with 22 points, staying two points ahead of a pack of teams chasing closely behind.

The Roosters wasted no time in setting the tone for the game, with an early attempt at a try by Daniel Tupou being called back due to obstruction.

However, they quickly regrouped and unleashed their attacking prowess, leaving the Tigers struggling to keep up in the rain-soaked showdown.
