Mark Nawaqanitawase produced two brilliant try assists and several crucial defensive efforts, but his individual heroics could not prevent the Sydney Roosters from a 30-10 loss to Parramatta.
The Eels continued their strong form under Mitchell Moses’ direction, capitalising on the Roosters’ league-worst 58 percent completion rate. The Tricolours’ night worsened when halfback Sam Walker suffered a concussion early after a heavy collision with Kelma Tuilagi, ruling him out under Category 1 protocols and sidelining him for next week’s clash against Melbourne.
With the defeat, the Roosters slip further into a tense battle for the final playoff spot against the Dolphins, Sea Eagles, and Tigers.
