Sydney 48, Parramatta 10
Complete demolition job as the Roosters surge into the top four. Parramatta's winning streak comes to an abrupt end and they were never in this contest. The Roosters were at their rampant best, peppering both edges relentlessly, and they take a well earned two points to cap off this round. Thanks for following along, we'll be back during the week.
They swing it quickly and Ferguson knocks on.
A high bomb is spilled by Hoffman for an accidental offside and the Roosters will pack a scrum 25m out, with just under two minutes to go.
Another miss! 48-10.

Hat trick for Ferguson!
It goes up as No Try but is quickly overturned - I thought the same as the touchy, that he stepped on the sideline before putting it down, but we were both mistaken - he walks to tightrope brilliantly and again ground it just before losing possession.
Back to topKeary chips and Radradra can't take it cleanly. Big chance for the Roosters to reach the half-century with a scrum 15m out.
Gordon misses this time! Sack him. 44-10.

Manu gets one now!
This is a bloodbath. High kick to the right wing, Ferguson can't corral it cleanly but it goes backwards, straight into the path of his centre, who spins away from Jennings and touches down in the corner.

Another brilliant kick from the sideline...Gordon's on fire! 40-10.

Ferguson with an excellent putdown!
They go down the short side and Radradra, with some help from Nathan Brown, hold him high in the air and look to be driving him over the sideline before he somehow manages to twist his right arm down low and ground it just before losing control!
Back to topNo malice here as Tupou hits Gutherson late, but the winger slipped into the tackle and left the Eels fullback a bit dazed. He'll go off for a HIA test as we cross to a shot of Corey Norman sitting in the sheds, in street clothes, with a heavily iced knee.

Gutherson quickly converts. 34-10 with twenty to go.

Great solo effort from Jennings!
Lovely work against his old side - he comes back on the inside with an angled run before stepping through a couple of would-be defenders and diving under the posts.
It's all getting a bit sloppy as the Eels fail to turn that field position into points before the Roosters drive up the other end before putting the ball to ground. Parramatta will now have another promising set after a kick ricocheted off Manu's leg and accidentally offside into Pearce.

Gower is taken high by Kane Evans. Should they take the two and make it a 28-point margin? They think better of it and go with the tap.
Back to topA ball goes to ground and Hoffman picks it up and he sprints back the other way before Tupou runs him down five short of the line!
Parra of old today. Such good signs in the last few weeks but crashing back to earth against a really good Roosters team 👎 #NRLRoostersEels

Corey Norman has limped up the tunnel - this day really couldn't be going any worse for Parramatta.

The Eels are on the attack but the ball goes to ground, and after Keary dives on the loose pill he's smashed in the head by Brown.
