In a stunning revelation, Trent Robinson has pointed the finger at his team's defense following the Roosters' narrow 40-34 victory over the Dolphins in the NRL on Friday night.

Despite Halfback Sam Walker's exceptional performance, the Roosters were fortunate to retain their lead after a controversial incident involving captain James Tedesco.

The Tri Colours got off to a flying start with tries from Joseph Suaalii and Walker, giving them a 12-0 advantage in Perth.

The Dolphins fought back with a try from Max Plath, but Walker extended the Roosters' lead with a fantastic chip and chase effort.

Felise Kaufusi managed to score another try for the Dolphins before Plath and Tedesco found themselves at the center of a heated moment.

With Tedesco appearing to commit a clear professional foul, Plath tried to capitalize on the situation and force the Roosters captain into the sin bin.

Despite calls from the Dolphins players for a penalty, Tedesco's actions went unpunished.

Robinson's criticism of his team's defensive lapses serves as a wake-up call for the Roosters as they aim to maintain their winning streak.

The pressure is on for the players to tighten their defense and avoid similar controversies in future games.
