In a disappointing match for the Sharks, they suffered a heavy 42-16 defeat against the Roosters at Industree Group Stadium.
Despite a recent victory over Melbourne, the Sharks struggled early against a young Roosters team, which was missing several Origin stars but featured two debutants and celebrated Victor Radley's 150th game.
The Roosters quickly gained an advantage, showcasing their skills when fullback James Tedesco executed an impressive flick pass that allowed young halfback Hugo Savala to score, marking his second career try.
The Sharks' troubles were compounded when winger Ronaldo Mulitalo was sin-binned for high contact on Mark Nawaqanitawase, leading to a significant momentum swing in favor of the Roosters.
Radley nearly added another try in his milestone match but failed to replicate Tedesco's earlier brilliance.
During Mulitalo's absence, the Sharks managed to pressure the Roosters and camped near their line but could not capitalize on the opportunities.
Their best chance came with a no-try call against Hiroti for obstruction, as both teams exchanged errors throughout the match.
Overall, the Sharks faced a challenging game and fell short against a determined Roosters side.
