In a weekend packed with action for the young Roosters, the results were a mixed bag of triumphs and defeats.
Three wins and two losses meant that the Roosters had to face the bitter taste of defeat for the first time in 2025.
The Sydney Roosters S.G.
Ball Cup squad experienced their first loss of the season in a nail-biting clash against the undefeated Canberra Raiders.
Despite putting up a valiant fight, the Roosters fell short with a final score of 30-28 at Henson Park.
The early blow of losing star prop Peter Benjamin Uini to concussion within the first 30 seconds of the game left the Roosters reeling.
With both teams scoring five tries each, it was ultimately a missed conversion that tipped the scales in favor of the Raiders.
Captain Jaxson Allen once again led by example for the Roosters, while newcomer Itula Seve made a strong impression in his second outing for the Club.
The Roosters will regroup and aim to bounce back when they face off against Newcastle, who have had a rough streak with one win and three losses, in their next match.
The upcoming game promises to be a showdown filled with grit, determination, and the relentless pursuit of victory on the rugby league battlefield.
The Roosters will need to dig deep, draw on their strengths, and work as a cohesive unit to secure a much-needed win and reclaim their winning ways.
