The Roosters have clawed their way back from a sluggish start to dominate the Raiders and secure a commanding 34-20 victory.

After falling behind 10-0 early on, the Roosters managed to shake off the cobwebs and rise to the challenge, ultimately claiming their fourth win of the season.

The match kicked off with a bang as Raiders co-captain Simaima Taufa made a blistering run through the middle to score within the first minute, setting the tone for an intense showdown.

The Roosters fought back valiantly, with Jasmin Strange coming close to scoring but losing possession under intense pressure from Raiders fullback Apii Nicholls.

However, a penalty for offside play gave the Roosters another opportunity, only for Tarryn Aiken to fumble the ball over the line in a frustrating near-miss.

Undeterred, the Raiders extended their lead with some slick passing leading to a try by Madison Bartlett.

But the Roosters rallied, with Amber Hall bulldozing through multiple defenders to put points on the board.

Two quickfire tries before halftime further strengthened the Roosters' position, with the Raiders losing Hollie-Mae Dodd to the sinbin for a dangerous tackle.

In true gritty fashion, the Roosters dug deep and ultimately outpaced the Raiders for a well-deserved victory.

This thrilling comeback showcased the Roosters' resilience and determination, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of Rugby League.
