The Sydney Roosters dominated the Gold Coast Titans in a thrilling match at Cbus Super Stadium, securing a convincing 30-8 victory that solidified their position at the top of the competition ladder.
The Roosters displayed their defensive prowess by repeatedly denying the Titans' advances, while also capitalizing on their attacking opportunities to score six tries.
The halves pairing of Jocelyn Kelleher and Tarryn Aiken played a pivotal role in setting up four of these tries.
However, the Gold Coast managed to respond with a well-executed grubber kick from Sienna Lofipo, leading to a try by Niall Williams-Guthrie that reduced the deficit to just two points.
Keilee Joseph's remarkable try-saving tackle on Shannon Mato provided a glimmer of hope for the Titans, but their subsequent try-scoring opportunity was denied by the video referee after a thorough analysis.
In a brief appearance, Otesa Pule made a significant impact by making a blistering run up the middle, setting the stage for another Roosters' try.
