The Roosters flew high like a majestic bird of prey in their clash with the Wests Tigers, swooping in for a convincing 20-4 victory in Gosford.

Winger Jayme Fressard soared with a stunning double, while prop Millie Elliott bulldozed her way to an impressive 202-metre game, propelling the Roosters to back-to-back wins.

The Tigers initially pounced on the Roosters with a clever play that led to Tess Staines crossing the try line, giving them an early 4-0 advantage.

Their defense held strong, allowing them to go into halftime with a rare lead this season.

However, their momentum took a hit when skipper Kezie Apps was sidelined with a leg injury early in the second half, opening the door for the Roosters to strike back.

Riding on the back of a powerful surge from Amber Hall, the Roosters created chances with their attacking prowess.

However, a missed opportunity from Hall left them frustrated, squandering a chance to capitalize on their dominance.

Nonetheless, with Fressard's speed and Isabelle Kelly's playmaking skills, the Roosters managed to level the score at 4-4 and never looked back.

In the end, the Roosters' ferocity and determination proved too much for the Tigers to handle, as they secured a well-deserved victory.

It was a match filled with twists and turns, but the Roosters emerged victorious, leaving the Tigers licking their wounds and looking ahead to bounce back in their next outing.
