In a display of pure grit and determination, the Roosters outshone the Wests Tigers in a rain-soaked showdown at Allianz Stadium, emerging victorious with a commanding 40-6 scoreline.

Despite the challenging weather conditions, Trent Robinson's men embraced the challenge and showcased their attacking prowess by flinging the ball around with reckless abandon.

The Wests Tigers, try as they might, were unable to contain the Roosters, who ran in eight tries to their one in a dominant display.

With this impressive victory, the Roosters have solidified their reputation as the NRL's entertainers, having now amassed a staggering 480 points this season - a whopping 80 points ahead of their closest competitors, the Melbourne Storm.

Their ability to consistently breach the 30-point mark in games has set them apart as true contenders in the competition, displaying an average of 30 points per game.

But it's not just their attacking prowess that sets the Roosters apart - their defensive resilience has also been a key factor in their success this season, with only the Panthers and Bulldogs conceding fewer points after 17 rounds of play.

Sunday night's win ensured that the Roosters maintained their fourth-place standing on the ladder with 22 points, holding a two-point lead over a hungry pack of teams nipping at their heels on 20 points.

From the get-go, the Roosters came out firing, with Daniel Tupou almost notching up the first try of the match in the left corner before the play was called back for obstruction.

However, that setback did not deter the Roosters, who went on to dominate the game and secure a well-deserved victory in true Roosters fashion.

With their blend of attacking flair and defensive steel, the Roosters are proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the NRL.
