The Sydney Roosters have booked their place in the NRL grand final after overpowering the Dolphins 36-20 in an impressive preliminary final performance.
Returning from a syndesmosis injury, Sam Walker made an immediate impact, crossing for a try while expertly directing the Roosters’ attack throughout the contest.
Mark Nawaqanitawase was another standout, launching the scoring with a spectacular length-of-the-field intercept try before completing a double and setting up another in a commanding display.
The victory sends the Tricolours into their first NRL grand final since 2019, where they will face the winner of the Penrith-Newcastle clash.
