The Sydney Roosters delivered a stunning 16-26 upset over the Brisbane Broncos, just six weeks after being thrashed by 50 points in Round 1.
Rookie halfback Hugo Savala impressed in his first start at No.7, guiding the team to victory in front of over 40,000 fans.
Coach Trent Robinson’s decision to replace struggling veteran Chad Townsend paid off, with Savala supported by strong performances from captain James Tedesco and hooker Connor Watson.
Billy Smith added two first-half tries, while the Broncos couldn’t match the Roosters’ intensity across the full 80 minutes.
