NRLW 2024 | Roosters v Raiders | Full Match Replay | Round 6

yeah I think the bounce back Factor will be strong as you say the Raiders haven't had much luck winning wise but they games have been very very competitive and roosters it's a star started lineup it's like their men's team so kellerer bangs the kickoff towards the touch line can't get it that far and cber with the ball now on their own 30 m line the Raiders won the last match up last year between the teams in Al that was a difficult pass but Grace C's into the starting lineup along with Sophie Hollman up in the front that was hollyman with it now tala miss the origin series one of the great forwards in women's rugby league seven from the halfway shant away to Zahara then quinland and then Nichols and out to Robert reti on that left hand Edge the tric scoring we that is m with eight in the last eight games happy to let the ball sing in the first set of the game tala punching through the middle who she got in support she takes them on herself so [Applause] wow well she's my favorite player in women's rugby league and has been ever since day one samay matala the toughest the hardest the most passionate footballer you'll ever meet renowned for her defense and her work rate but watch this Harvey Norman Replay in the middle of the field jumps onto a pass no one in support don't need you I'll do it myself around the fullback into the end goal and a bristling start for the camber Raiders oh what about that the ball shift was fantastic and that line that's a myal foran that's exactly where you want your furthest middle hitting What's called the 54 Channel That's the space between in the last middle and the edge back row and she hit that at PACE and she just kept accelerating she was slowing down for nobody I love to look on a face when the realization kicked in that I'm going to have to take the fullback on myself and bang a big right foot step I think she scored a 50 m effort earlier in the season actually down at home I can remember she did but from the time I've been covering the women's game she's been one my fav player a courageous issue well they have piggybacked on the energy that the man have provided with that unbelievable victory over the roosters in at [Applause] 6n successful for the hang on JN stay on [Music] here stay on oh she was de missed by New South Wales in the origin SOA tala on the board with the first try all right Emma the crowd is sort of a bit flat here aren't they after what happened in the men's game and the Raiders have started in a similar vein in the women's absolutely they need the triols to fire the fans up but they've got to be happy with the conditions because for the first day of spring perfect conditions for rugby league 21° a nice dry track look there's a slight breeze at the moment it's behind the Raiders but I mean shouldn't affect play too much no best possible conditions for footy Nicholls tackles really [Applause] well Kelly rushing out and now Zahara kicks up high there n coming through to contest the kick it's gone backwards oh it's juggle by strange I thought there may have been a little knock from the ca players but the referee says no and after scoring points early the Raiders are looking to inflict a bit of damage in defense well they were wiing the Rock in attack back finding plenty of space shant T actually got out for a nice scoot too and getting through their set beautifully and look at this defense Kelly hit hard wow imposing defense and Amber Hall on this left hand side is an absolute [Applause] weapon now the kick takes a deviation off the Raiders live ball knock on both ways double knock on first against the roosters Raiders scrum well that kick took a big deflection didn't it the Chasers from the Raiders got in right in that kicking line JN Keller her came off Grace Kemp Falcon you say yep good one too oh what a ball and tangai back in the lineup well they were well below their best last week up on the Gold Coast and the roosters haven't started with a great deal of energy here either on the flip side camra confident and this is desperate Stakes now they have to win if they can win and it gets their season moving in the right direction ala 18 away shant RP Nicholls the on The Tackle by strange quinland T up h m dot on the right hand side the back row [Music] [Applause] up fair Gap in size between those back row the opposing back rowers as K kicks it what a beautiful kick lovely glorious yeah really good she got a lovely kicking game goal kicking long kicks high kicks short kicks got a lovely touch one of the best in the women's game Let's drop that down see how it's sked into the end goal was on its belly the whole way no risk of going dead they thought of a a short drive there so Grace K roaring back into the starting team she's been used mainly Off the Bench since making the move from rugby to rugby league oh good opportunity here McKenzie Wiki that's that's a a pair to keep an eye on for this afternoon Isabel Kelly McKenzie Wiki tal for again drag down Millie's in there with the tackle right to zahar oh that that was asking a little much that pass and Wiki couldn't handle it as she got to the line BR is trying to race away from one side to the other someone's been left down in in the in goal area I think it's s Mata oh she's very wobbly too think it was a knock on by cber anyway they should have got the ball back on their T that's not good first TR scorer leader in the pack for CRA and samima might be in a little trouble 38 nrlw game for Isabel Kelly oh strange Akin sorry kick over the top Here Comes Brena the super mom with a great gather but look at the chase by the Raiders they rush back on Mass roosters they'll score if they go right there's no one out there aen looping past strange juggled it comes back in and will score oh I don't know she might have bubbled it you reck okay she might have bubbled it coming in to tackle five I have no try based on the grounding if it's no try we've got a penalty for 10 m on field yeah so they're saying the Raiders are offside but I think as she goes to put this down it's the challenge by Nicholls oh she dropped it yeah she dropped it player loses possession over the goal line however the onfield decision of the Raiders offside will stand all right they get another shot aeny for 10 me I tell you what Ary Nichols might not have scored a try this year but she has saved plenty for the Raiders she is a very strong defensive fullback for them and that shows you what she can do I'm really worried about samala here she's in the hands of the trainer at the moment off that was very heavy contact she had with the boot Sam Brer yeah yeah she's coming off she still staggering you know I don't think Sam is going to come back unfortunately yeah I'd like to be as sure as winning the lotto [Music] Darren bwick has got a couple of big bodies on the bench but he's opting for S nit TOA to come on in that ball playing lock position Amelia pacala was with the roosters last year I'm should be chomping it the bit to get into her old sidea p very good probably the best player on the field actually for the roosters against the Titans last week try the crash play and Amber Hall is denied the post helping out a little there as well right on the goal line Davis awaken with stepping and footw and has she got it down G coming into tackle three I have no confirm she loses it over the line please wow this will be two in a row she's got a grip she's got a grip she's got a grip oh oh the ball comes away from the hand and she fails to have downward pressure on the ball we have a decision oh Grace Kemp just showing Superior strength there she was just holding the hips of Taran aen and forced Aken to reach out further and she just couldn't control it we just saw an incredible defensive display by the NRL Raiders team now the women have started on the same vein they defended their line a couple of times saved a couple of sure [Music] things so they have scored 18 tries this year that's actually one more than the roosters but defensively they've leak 23 tries in their first five games but theyve clearly got a long way to rectifying that here from an attitude as much as anything else he's certainly hollyman play to shantar to and then pass to quinland and then she got through the line they keep it alive with unbelievable skill Roberts re they are full of confidence with him without the ball I tell you what they were missing Ash quinland upy Nichols it's not a proper play the ball Rock interference there you go they get a last week they really missed Ash quinland they missed having her in there to be that hares partner with Zahara so last week all of the attack came through Z and the defense could really shut it down this week this left edge with Ash back it is looking the goods oh a little [Music] stumble where's P now [Applause] Twi Nichols a dummy and got past kellerer but good chasing from the inside Amber Hall 3 m away fast play the ball hman oh PA with consecutive efforts a meter away can they go two tries to nothing up here CRA they're stretching with their passing what a good ball and it's going to be a try to Bart save two and score one well the first two passes on this were bullet like they were brilliant the pass out a dummy half and then the pass from the first receiver set up the space on the outside Ruan take us through that one these passes were excellent just have a look at them they absolutely were the har Norman replay should show that show us perfectly the two sisters have exactly the same passing style shant Tera look at that bullet that clears four Defenders Zahara temra clears another four Defenders that means Ash quinland is able to pick up her Winger and gets over she has a lot of work to do MD bartett but she gets there look another great pill it's such an important skill to got to move the ball quickly from one side of the field to the other oops whoops whoops oops oops we have a little bubble there surely not get it down get it down get it down uh Belinda's doing the slow walk and the right hand the right hand the right hand the right hand oh I think it's take yeah now it's confirmed she kept a thumb on the ball a bit of a deep breath now nine and nine games there she knows where the TR line is beautifully set up that spiral passing is so important for all halves and dummy halves shift the ball quickly you can cover a lot of Defenders with those and with that TR she's now equal second greatest TR scorer in the NRL w b what are we waiting on here good go Sahara tomorrow I just give her a big WP about her kicking she won't be daunted by this she's taken it back just 19 M she L the challenge of kicking from here always very calm and collected there's never any stress I don't think she sweats oh it's going to curve not enough off the [Applause] post Senor Ro memberships for 2025 are now available they are the best way to directly support your CL so if you enjoy here at St want to experience more in 2025 you on screen to browse the and stay [Music] on stay on here stay on what a great start for these Raiders 10 n The Roosters are got to waake from their Slumber though well off the pace last week I'm sure they would have been optimistic coming back here to alian where they only lost once in their last five games but the Raiders have dominated possession and they have a lot of potency right across the park they're playing hungry too the Raiders hungry and direct sare oh penalty fourth tackle as well here's a great chance to go [Music] again slipped up what could he tell us Emma oh for the Raiders as suspected it is a category one head knock for samama TAA so her night's over and then she'll also miss next week's match against the dragons with that mandatory 11 day stand down period big loss he you got your steps up today Emma you past the 10,000 I get puff doing two or three steps and I think I've done 30,000 today you're carrying you're carrying a bit of a load 8 m away Shante Tam oh that pass didn't quite hit the mark but they're able to reather [Music] [Music] fast play the ball quinland oh yeah super tackle and strange is forced in error they needed something like that they absolutely did and that was an excellent read by Jasmine strange not sitting back on the tri line she got up she identified the threat and got there at the same time the ball did forced the error again that service out of D half is Magic but that is a really good read can this energize the [Music] roosters R up arms around so they ented the round in fourth on the ladder this roosters team a loss here would certainly have them in a susceptible position West Pack Red Zone nine for the Raiders three for the roosters so far yeah that's in line with the scoreboard isn't it you can definitely see the Raiders have had a lot of possession and done plenty with it has St she's played a little bit in the back row as well on the wing last year all down here when he go from the wing [Music] that Gilly Davis she's affected from dummy half now Davidson joint most experienced player in this roosters team key a kick by ker well taken out there Tong on she's tough tongue on Jill representative in the pass sort of been in and out of the Raiders this year and it's good to see you come back and in with the bang oh talk about bangs my goodness was key Davis putting a shot on TOA [Applause] doer back for more work though oh a little bubble maybe not picked up just short of the halfway hard the CLE of kicks taken well by brna state of origin and World Cup winner a bit of five pound this back AR they with seris and Backa yeah definitely definitely but seris and Kelly Two strike centers Isabelle's been stepping up she's been doing plenty of work they just haven't had the ball this game so [Applause] far charge by Millie 15 inside cers half Davis fires it over to AK K oh she got belted Isabel there's a huge [Music] Collision I told you sha tongai was tough she has launched just shcking their head she it was legal yeah she jammed in so hard on Isabelle Kelly the pass by Keller her oh oh that was just a head Clash they bang no oh both were a little bit groggy after that too un surprisingly it's not shoulder to head is it it's not tongue I shoulder oh I'd have to see it again First Look I thought it was head to head but it gets [Music] checked girls are on report shoulders on report you're coming up as you come in head yeah penalty yeah get in the [Music] head I I say that's curious normally in those situations if you collect the ball carrier High sort of off to the bin pretty much automatically so that's not the case on this occasion yeah I found it strange he said you're on report for a head Clash [Applause] I think we'll we'll get some more information on that Emma might be able to find something out Freddy down there for us aen BR trying to set something up on the inside naidi and back to [Music] [Applause] strange there's P four tackles used for the roosters can they crack the Raiders stoic defense open a borrow play key Davis can't get [Applause] there BR and nid back on the inside great defense again Nicholls saving a [Applause] try that's some big D again Ary Nichols just getting in the way scrambling the Raiders scramble defense we spoke about how many tries they've conceded so far this season they've turned up [Music] [Applause] [Music] today and they're happy to shift the ball that's good football release a bit of hammering on there on the line but they prepared to chance their arm and move the ball sideways oh hollyman breaks out of the tackle everyone had their back turned they're definitely not playing in their shells the Raiders oh Zar ter that was class now H kicks back towards the middle the catch keep working has she's got time what a time all the best players do she creates that time she sees things ahead of time too very very good players of har for a very long time [Applause] oh the rers haven't found any rhythm yet they've been close to scoring couple of times but just haven't quite found the attacking Rhythm maybe this time set [Music] start whoops I oh what a good tackle the legs of King snapped Away by the half quinland double down that right hand side that might have been forward actually a can away to Brena they get away with it big scramble down that short side defensively they've got the roers a little bit rattled in their attack at the moment the Raiders well the ties bustled them last week but right up in their face 8 m away I think a try might be enough to settle them down a K her Kelly knock down TR saving effort well they had them under pressure Tang had to come up with that grab just to knock the ball away otherwise they'd have scored again Raiders trying to slide quickly Tango just took the odds to it knocked it down another set of six here for the roosters [Applause] now Samantha economos in 16 oh that can't stop Hall no way not a chance well they tried one of these set plays earlier in the game they did a good job to hold her up but this time she just got the angle right too big too strong very powerful they set it up nicely little switch play around the middle there just Powers away towards the tri line right in front of the referee that's a proper weapon from that close range yeah the Harvey Norman replay try confirmed that little bit of movement by Taran Akin moving to the open side what that does it doesn't necessarily draw Defenders but it makes the Defenders on that offside relax and as soon as they relax that's where amall gets in they were up for it when she did the first time but the second time see that movement they just switch off a little bit next to the Rock and you can't do that with Amal there she bustles through four of them to get to the truck line she's been she done well since she's come back from injury she had a Liz Frank injury last year she hasn't had a big off seon so to see her back playing footy it's good stuff not if you're a [Applause] Defender successful converion as well for the through number six Jo Premier Services right [Music] six stand on see whether that allows to SI out of the roosters here they haven't had a lot to go their way in the last last week at the start of this game but they're on the board 10 points to six Emma yeah M just some clarification on that tackle from Shak tangai on Isabelle Kelly where she was on report I just checked with the standby ref and they said that the call came from the bunker and in their belief as you can see in the bottom left hand corner as Shaq was making the tackle she rose up and into Isabel Kelly and as a tackler she has the duty of care so that's the explanation I was given okay well again it doesn't really answer the question why it wasn't a s but anyhow thank you a to away ah Brena seiz parted she nearly got through but the Raiders able to regroup that's Fel Quin in 18 making that tackle k and P hwat now Davis linking in with aen that's good shallow kick didn't quite get enough of that football he was looking to kick it further towards the goal line shallow enough for Wiki to dive upon tell you what though they did look a lot more comfortable in that set of six a little less panicked finished in a good spot straight after points [Music] the defense is really starting to aim up now getting some line speed on the [Music] Raiders good run there [Music] [Applause] Robin oh oh nearly a good ball didn't quite turn out as it might have might have uh might have happened r delivered the ball didn't get a hand he created the space they've been under a little bit of pressure at Their Own Line probably a low percentage play but they've been aggressive with their attitude haven't they probably come here tonight with the attitude that they'll throw those passes if they think they're on nice little play that was low percentage with you your support player really running into traffic there good position to attack Centerfield scrum 10 minutes until halim aen oh wrapping around good tackle High it looks dangerous aen oh I like that sweeping movement off the scrum both her and Sam Brer swept around we just see there that tackle does climb up over the ball she's so fast on her feet [Music] Theos 15 short can they go back to back here they had the line share of possession the last little while a into the line and strange on this right hand side p h [Applause] KY Mara the imposing KY Mar on the field now as aen goes back to Hall to be hard to stop again can they get around the 40 ah yes good work great [Applause] defense another A bash play great def super defense Holly may God put herself in the way aen kicking for space out wide it's over the top of everyone it's nearly on Bondo Beats one miss time that one great defense there by the Raiders girls and I feel like Taran was forced into that Mis kick just because of how physical the Raiders were on that line couple of big hits there turning away some big bodies not far away from get down to bond at 6 7:00 be beautiful especially today nothing wrong with Bond beach at night Matthew you wouldn't want to get North Bond the little rough pool yeah it's more my [Music] stuff Flo you see pman playing [Music] it quinland from the quinland pass Emma Barnes very quick from dummy half there's not much of her but she's very fast and dangerous T kick bounces off a rooster leg Roost the [Applause] ball so KCK starts on the edge and generally moves into the middle and does a lot of work when she moves into this locked forward rle Kelly does a lot of work regardless is she's on the [Music] [Applause] field into the lineup this week wasn't used last week outside of the listed 18 the offload from davidon oh Davis tackled strongly they're hitting hard aren't they oh [Music] yeah with a catch it's a good kick Chase for the roosters there and K Davis is still down getting some treatment in back [Music] play just stretching out that left leg it seems at the moment St the game here T three [Music] well we're delicately poised are we was that a knee test a ligament test of some sort yeah she that's testing knee stability she's a bit of an iron woman killing Davis 38 game this afternoon oh yeah she got Twisted under the body it's a little uh meteor ligament mechanis him there pushed on the outside of the knee normally it would hurt more on the inside of the KNE [Music] but seems all right so the players they have out Ruan with High Caliber players aren't they they they hate for Davis who is the incumbent Australian representative to to join the likes of ser just and Baer absolutely because they're all also missing sort of their first string backup in Shan Burton she's out with a hamstring injury for the season as well and it looks like Belinda sharp is a couple of the injured girls don't be embarrassed ladies seeing themselves on the big screen blinda sharp is having a chat and turning the be oh there you go wow Holly may do and that just opens up this left Edge doesn't it I mean Hall has been running right down here it's going to be a tough assignment now with that edge back rower gone ke's actually putting she looks like hey staying out on the ground okay potential flut point in the game there oh sh shot not t with a big shot there strong run from the 58 Keller here and now here comes Brar with a long pass a great pass a Tred to m a wood nice pass had plenty to do when she caught it two Mia wood little bit of a step back inside then a reach out taking advantage of the fact the Raiders are down to 12 the Raiders number 12 is off here it is the she well she wiiz that's a harsh call but a Raiders number 12 today had two stins to the sbin in the men's game Elliot wed he was an Englishman and this girl's from England hly May Harvey Norman replay lovely task there from Samantha Bremner and the roosters level it up GE wiiz the English number 12 haven't had much luck at Delan today no Holly DOD sitting down and obviously that's the edge that they're missing the number that was a beautiful pass by Sam Brer she had to sort of hop up to get a little bit of extra power behind that pass but that was really good work by Mia wood just to hold the paint there here's a tough examination from right out wide by killur C oh oh oh yeah that in [Music] there front points for number six Joselyn K Bradly brought to you by Premier Serv show on [Music] God what a cracking conversion roosters are in front now they have settled their way into the game and a big charge that's a hell of a conversion never look like missing see the big gr on her face afterwards as well she loved it just sitting on top here aren't they yeah they look a lot more settled and just actually working through their sets now and they're making every carry look at this big post contact meters every carry is at least 10 12 M well only three tackles down there deep in canas half now Kelly to the 30 love another one before half time a conos has really changed the mode of this G mood of this game since you came off the bench actually Davis kicking ahead not the option Nicholls [Applause] there pass by the ball Zahara and there's that quick thinking again saw some lazy Defenders or Defenders who had their back turn he ran straight towards him oh big tackle that one quinland confronted by davidon [Applause] [Music] [Applause] now last play CRA halim not far off oh yours yours the ball's going to bounce right down to the in goal and naidi has to rush back and she evades the oncoming Chase well that's pretty well done in the end no one wanted to borrow that kick that was very fortunate it was almost going to come up trumps for the Raiders now windy very well to scoot away she handled it well she knew what she was doing I wouldn't recommend letting the ball bounce but she she handled it pretty good after that two minutes until the break and a penalty for the roosters [Music] they can't be giving legs up to the roosters like this especially when they're down a player they don't want to try and put their defensive line under pressure close to the tri line aen sees an opportunity down this right hand Edge and near he breaks through the line made some really important tackles on that side of the ground ball played back to Davis H haati 20 M out they've got a real Roll On Now The Roosters Akens enjoying it Kell her another pass and another try for M wood in the same Corner well here they come the roosters just before halftime posting points a minute out that'll make John strange very happy they look a lot more fluid they look a lot more settled and comfortable now again attacking down their left Edge hly may do off for the the Raiders and look at this the Harvey Norman replay Joselyn kellerer that was a ripper of a pill hit me wood right on the chest right in front of us actually so she could run onto it Gus she didn't slow down for that one mwood yeah couple of tries has given them confidence and a bit of a flow they're up against 12 obviously that's a lovely pass Wingers you live for that three run to the line beautiful the conversion from over in this corner previously was outstanding never looked like missing gave it a real thumb too so we'll get to see if we can get it on the action replay now look at this she's brought it back away to 22 M this a long kick long kick siren rings out in the background bit of a deep breath couldn't to it could you oh another good strike but it just drifts away from 10 n to 1610 The Roosters in command at halim here at aliance we're going to find out a lot about their attitude here they really do have to win if they maintain some hope of playing finals football and on the flip side The Roosters came in in fourth position and could consolidate a place inside the four if they march on as they finish the first half a conos well there's a good start for cra's defense Eliza laa MOA stopped by zahar Kelly oh yes great run [Music] explosive in the tackler so clearly Davis has gone from having the medial check to playing on and looking largely unimpeded pretty harsh Shin in that one three left three minutes left k the wobbling bomb taken by Nichols he was born in the Cook Islands has played International Rugby League for the ferns he's also a police officer here we are today was the Emergency Services game the round that the roosters are going to be running every year oh and player of the match in the men's and the women's game each received the commissioner's medal yes Jo tap was the recipient the men wasn't he he was mon was a brilliant game that Sunday in [Music] our still buzzing about that k m oh Tamar an absolute Mis kick she always had too much time to kick that one just drifted away from her on the drop she looks a little uncomfortable after it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] too well as is the case in the NRL this year the nlw also throwing up some some um inconsistent results I suppose so the Titans over the roosters comfortably last week and then the Titans came out and we're beaten pretty comprehensively by corala who are undefeated it's an unbelievable start to the year for the competition leaders that look so professional that's charged down and back into possession of the roosters so that'll be a fresh set this will definitely test the resolve here we go west back Red Zone roosters 19 play the balls in the opposition 20 make that 20 here they go on the charge the space right nobody moving on the the camell line oh dear dear I had to score there's no one with aen had blinkers on there they still got them to the left pass a gives it away and another try you can see that coming two plays before well they might have harder than it should have been they completely outnumber them to the left hand side of the field the Raiders defensive line just wasn't numbering up but eventually they powered their way through ran they should have scored two plays earlier yeah absolutely Taran Ain took the line on on the Harvey Norman replay we're seeing the try being scored but the previous two tackles before that there was a genuine opportunity they had about a five player overlap on their open Edge that was a nice line Back Against the Grain there Lala on that left Edge for Amber Hall who had a good start or good stint I should say in the first half scored a try of of her own that's a really good line nicely weighted pass by Taran too so in just a second game for the roosters the reserve forward Eliza Lam Mo gets the try they're a big side the rooster side aren't they they get possession they can be very hard to contain as you say beled last week on the go Coast maybe it was the warmer weather I don't know the Sharks went up there and did a number on the go Coast yesterday remember the sharks are just that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] good and another successful conversion for the number six Joselyn Hill the by Premier Services R down [Music] 22 side here go too close here K hold there stay on [Music] Shay 20 Chet at points for the roosters they're back to their full compliment now the Raiders Holly May DOD getting right in withing on that first [Music] [Applause] tackle 11 away 12 away from Halfway live ladder two clear Broncos big win today there a couple of big games next week Tomo Broncos will be playing the Knights that'll be a big one but another big one roosters Sharks next weekend two big games top four all play oh yeah now is that is that Newcastle game a home game that's good it is McDonald Jones Stadium chers chers that'll be next uh Sunday night after the big one between the knights in the Dolphins [Applause] no c will hang around for that one for sure so with the dragons losing yesterday the Dolphins beeding the Broncos and knights beeding the Titans it virtually ruled the dragons and Raiders out of being possible top eight contenders they for and against is just so bad they can't possibly make up the lway so the top eight for the NL comes down to Knights versus Dolphins Sunday afternoon [Applause] what a game bar now oh goes down a short side with no one in support got the ball back to tangai [Applause] however well McKenzie Wiki wasn't involved in that whole end of that defensive set and that whole attacking set she was down with the trainer look like she's been cleared to stay on the field but she for a very very long time [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] what a Mon's been tremendous Off the Bench heavy involvement good strong runs oh qu a really good Defender for a half yeah she got sh front to there yeah oh dear H does the good work you're on the mark play on play on Davis off and running oh there's no dummy half there's there was no one there was good work by Emma Barnes wasn't it getting on that football keep your eyes on the [Applause] prize lack of communication there b trying to show the speed to get away from Mia wood but pass is [Music] he my God up near the halfway line T up FES it past to Nicholls strange came flying in lead a little short on that side but good recovery and strange gets back there in fact to make the tackle end strongly oh it's a last tackle gets the ball away that was pasac Cara the former rooster oh it's a shocking kick it's knocked back it's still alive L A Rost to penalty offside she was offside and she played at it that's why the penalty going to the roosters there but that was a very messy end of set pass car obviously fresh on the field wanting to have some impact but that wasn't her run that last one needed to get to ball player for a last kick this rooster number three Jasmine strange she she's a good Defender oh she's had some good reads hasn't she good reads very strong fearless and aggressive maybe it's from having to tackle a brother e in the backyard as kids maybe it's the fear of missing a tackle and knowing your dad's the coach whatever it is she can tackle she can read the defense too oh they didn't complete the tackle so Brena goes again little houd danger here for the Raiders they got to hold on [Music] Tangles herself there might be another one coming here kernick held up well done good strength with that goal on defense but they still a couple of plays left Davis passing to waken takes on the bigger players using a speed gets cut off they are trying desperately to hang on here Davis has kicked it into the oh did they get it down it looked like it was about to end up with a cricket pitch next door G coming in tackle six I have no try I think she grounds it on the line here yeah I agree with Belinda sharp on this one it was a great Chase it looked way too big off the boot but that last bounce it just set up a little chasers on side oh [Applause] oh you know that's all right the point of the ball the line that's all right that's fine that's a try that's more a try than a non- try oh that's close isn't it it's more a try than a non- try give it to her the hands on the ball give it to her that's a try that's a try I see green angle I see green between ball and line that's a try on the left hand frame we can see that the roosters play is applying downward pressure and then on the right on the right hand frame she grounds the ball just inside the dead ball they do listen to you 100% had me goggle eyes on how about that chase Tiana Davidson yeah former night scores a try for the roosters it looked way too big off the boots never give up on a chase so good funny game rugby league the ball just bounces at the right time oops up it goes get hold of it [Music] down she that looked good on the Harvey Norman refl didn't it and she wasn't sure she wasn't sure no but then the celebration when it came through as a [Music] try 26 unanswered points about to be 28 [Applause] [Applause] so Kell her three from four including a craing kick from right out on the touch line in the first half [Applause] [Music] successful conversion for the roosters through number six jelyn kill rookie by Premier Service [Music] 28 stay on here stay on stay stay on side stay on 28 10 the real roosters have [Applause] returned well this score line was the response I was expecting out of the Roosters from last week up in the Gold Coast we're a bit Shell Shocked to start the game today they've definitely settled into their work as they'll try score it the desperate Tiana Davidson [Applause] causing all manner of issues on that side how didar end up with the ball oh it's a steal she gave it to her back here they're full of running now the roers starting to get into a really good Rhythm it's you can take one player out of a team but it makes such a difference with CA she just locks up that middle with her defense she's just rock solid and they've sort of blown them a part happens at all [Music] levels Team game but some individuals are just Irreplaceable now Davis to AK to K hurt sh and go a meter [Music] away and that pass was a little hard and there's a one-handed pass away and now cber with the ball [Applause] quinland the Raiders were able to go with the roosters for about 10 minutes after tala left the field and then when things started to turn they just found it really difficult to sort of right the ship and ever since the roosters scored points they've just been on a roll well the Raiders can't get to the other end of the [Music] field back out there now Rooster's fast moving defense line just cuts down their meters and puts pressure on the kicker and they come roaring back again like a little bit of size when they take their two starting props off this one of the props that started today she's normally on the bench for them Grace kid I think I actually really liked her starting today I think that suits her it suits the style got Cara playing in the middle she's got some size but this is a nice kick that's a 4030 40 40 great kick well done okay that might shift a little momentum it's always a handy play [Applause] no no it's a t it's a tap come back with me [Applause] go down inside that West Pack Red Zone ball played back by the Raiders shant ter T quinland and Pasa Dr on the back Bo good tackle for Milly Elliot a hard R Nichols tackled well by Kelly fast players coming together there 9 M from the line the Raiders need a try try and get some uh some belief back in their performance here hollyman started the game back out on the field there's a hard of has had them outnumbered that way so Shan tries to find a way through oh py pivot out and get the ball down still uh still fighting with the defense they haven't stopped it yet go sh no she was a contortionist she was over the line when she got up to play [Applause] it there tackle last tackle tackle with it chasing points I've never seen anyone fight harder to get a try just refused to go down shant Tamara good player she's moved into the middle now oh she's heading back towards her edge I like her in the middle really do leg speed ball work look at this [Applause] run p a back out another stint too powerful in the middle oh aen spot space Nichols has been immense hasn't she a good Defender nichs kahur trying to get around that right hand Edge defense by the Raiders but zahar makes the tackle play five [Music] Davis another kick towards the in goal that one waited well but Nicholls is there and gets back to the field of play do really good AR Nicholls got good positioning doesn't she G yeah well they Fain to keep wide there and then went back through the middle she turned around I watched that she doubled around and got back and got a [Applause] quick help help [Music] sh playing as a running forces very lightweight locked forward if you likeing shot up around the ball KCK strange but Hollman isn't put on the ground they go through the hands and there's a little bit of room here kick back infield by Bartlet Here Comes Grace Kemp knocked on I reckon [Applause] yeah good kick chase forc the turn over make sure she's okay still plenty of time 17 minutes the middle converted tries the difference what about Grace K just flooding the middle good kick by Matty Bartlett bana kicked it back infield and Grace km was just pushing through oh and poor Sammy Brena squashed nothing illegal in it just really heavy contact onfield decision is a knock on roosters they're looking at the contact I didn't think there was much in it well it doesn't have to be much in it these days ran true knock on Ball's been knock on before the contact anyway yeah she's tackled her around the waist there's no high contact from Grace Camp The Roosters players had just hits the ground in a legal tackle the challenge is unsuccessful unsuccessful no more challenges is he yeah okay working here so Grace ke rapid rise so Rabia League ranks had four seasons in the super W with the brumes won the World Cup with the in 2022 then flipped over to RAB league in 2023 and has been a rep player since then very good young player Grace km good family too well that's Andy out on the back of a nice little set piece but read well by the roers [Applause] [Music] the ERS joining it together and a try coming to the green machine a clean line break from McKenzie Wiki yields a try I tell you what you do not see that very often Isabelle Kelly getting skinned in defense she is such a strong Defender and look at this great movement on the Harvey Norman replay McKenzie Wiki I said earlier this would be a good battle one to keep the eyes on and McKenzie Wiki she's come up with points off this battle look straight into the line digs in nice and deep flat ball running onto it doesn't have to stop for it check a run that's a nice try for the Raiders elizabelle Kelly was just guilty there of assuming she knew who was going to get the ball a lovely cutout pass there just gets it on her outside arms he's got no forc in that tackle McKenzie Wiki is a strong ball Runner you need your body in front of her just didn't line up right if she was going to play that she probably should have been playing for an intercept not allowing the ball to get to her this is important they got to go up in sixes it's wide out but this is one girl that can kick from wide out look she's always so relaxed she's not even sweating it's a narrow angle yeah she likes narrow look at this go [Music] no goal

Wonder whe she was having a cramp or whether it was that right knee that's heavily strapped they definitely need her up there she's going some good plays for the Raiders [Applause] today hasn't so much ball a real weapon with [Applause] it plenty of room for quinland kicking inside the 20 spirited Chase here by camra he busts away from the the oncoming traffic and naid back near the 30 what she couldn't get away from mat though my goodness again backs it up with another big one [Applause] [Music] [Music] Millie inside C's half the could kill her wow she is a brilliant Defender for a half

and aen picks it up and runs away oh look here Aken winning the race so far Akin's going to run away from them Robins Rey tried hard but 100 met effort from Taran aen yeah well that's not just speed that's Fitness as well she mightn't have been as quick as the girl chasing her but she just had more endurance I think Zahara Tamar lovely little kick in behind beautifully picked off by Taran Aken now the race is on the big long striding Winger comes after and makes ground but now it's just grip your teeth keep going Harvey Norman replay and Taran aen just had a little bit too much under the Bonnet Drew away in the end Fitness beat Speed on that one Fitness speed and footy smarts she saw that the kick was going to be coming from Toro and she dropped into position took the ball cleanly when she sliced through a couple of Defenders there like you said Gus it was just a foot race and she was able to swerve and get away and continue to pull away 35th appearance for tanin today that's a nice Milestone and to celebrate that with a triy a smile says it all oh she's one of her late talents just as C look like they were uh threatening to make a a finish of the game aen pounces on the kick and runs 100 met oh that's a beauty come off she gives it a good whack Keller her with the conversion don't miss every game and every try of the NRL final Series right here on Nine's Wide World of Sports it's nearly here you know from groundbreaking player access in analysis from the games greatest Minds nine is the home of the NRL finals including the Grand Final exclusive live and free on October 6 gee didn't the Premiership take a strange old turn today yeah funny weekend wasn't it Thursday night the storm rested a lot of their young play a lot of their players and brought in a lot of young fellas and really put it to the Cowboys they were good Friday night we saw the Panthers weren't overly convincing against the rabbitz were they they tried to be diligent but the rabbitz hung on pretty good in the second half they won they can't do no more than that but it wasn't Stella Tamp [Music] football yesterday the dragons St their lollies the Broncos St their lollies the Dolphins were terrific sharks look like they were home and found a way to lose Magic Moment for sha Johnson with his last play of his career setting up the winning triy the 20 and then today the knights brought themselves right back into calculations the a great win over the Titans and here at alans one of the most extraordinary and eventful games of rugby league one of the most eventful Sunday afternoons we spent in a long long time where Ricky's Raiders came here and just hammered absolutely physically gave it to the roosters and the roosters have come out of it worse for wear with three big injuries plus a loss and the Panthers while sitting at home doing nothing move from third favorites to favorites virtually overnight the Panthers and the storm have sat back and watched yesterday and today and thought we are Charmed well they're the two best teams they they're the two battle hardened teams they've been down this road many times [Music] before everyone's waiting for the roosters to sort of flex their muscles well today they just got hammered and yet still had a chance to send it to Golden Point yeah they were gritty with all the injuries they had had they were gritty but gee where the Raiders were standing going Z they just physically accosted them well the women's Raiders side started the game that way didn't they they turned up physical scored first points early got off to a quick lead and then the roosters just really settled into their work yeah it's been a bit of a class difference here is [Applause] Amber Hall posing tackle on Sophie hollyman so six minutes to go Ruan would the Raiders girls have to get a bus home or they sh on a plane no no they they travel up by bus do they y a long trip home oh yeah' had a [Applause] loss and on a bad side the Raiders I think they're better than their results are showing again it's their defense that's being the problem here give him the ball too many too many points has been the tale of their season and samama she'll miss next week as well so this is becoming a long campaign for the Raiders well in the women's competition the sharks are six from six they're undefeated but when they played the Raiders down in cber I think cber LED them 12 n half time they did and the sharks scored 24 unanswered points in the second half to get a big win so it was a wasn't the ability was just the second half and sharks a little bit too fit and skillful for them bler again em you got some news for us yeah Sana n TOA TOA has failed her hi which means she'll miss next week as well but because the Raiders have now lost two players to hias samima was the earlier one their 18th player has been activated Georgia Willie for the final 4 and 1/2 minutes well that hurts doesn't it a couple of head knocks this round and they they're City out next week as well they got the dragons next week how do you think the girls are cing physically with the extended competition ran yeah pretty well the the injuries that they've had or the big injuries have been big injuries that would be huge in any sport ACLS and the like but the week to week I think they're getting much better at handling it and the the programs that they have at Club level are very good and ensuring the girls are prepared for that obviously there's bumps and bruises everyone play plays with those but on the whole they're just're getting better and better every [Music] [Applause] year two new clubs next year as well even longer your Club Bulldog's Gus and the Warriors return to the fold exting to get the clipboard out of the card yeah I think my coaching days are long gone Matthew see we still have a good speech in there somewhere no I like to demonstrate and I can't I just can't physically do it anymore oh McKenzie Wiki good ball now the iing play Georgia Willie has been activated for the Raiders and she's pulled down just short of the line how about that contact between Isabelle Kelly and McKenzie Wiki yeah well she was a little bit put out by the fact that McKenzie Wiki blew one past her earlier so she's determined not to miss that again very similar shape these two players as well McKenzie Wiki keeps her feet well she's very strong oh both very imposing centers under 3 minutes to go been a big weekend of rugby league women's and men's got high contact back here from Millie she's Rising it's moderate Force um it's on report in the you got to go Millie Elliott has just been sent to the S bit yeah yeah in a similar explanation to Holly May DOD sin bin from the first half I would like to see that on replay because we just saw a replay of the contact between or legal contact between Wiki and Kelly well I'm sure it'll all be a talking point on 100% footy tomorrow night oh yeah there it is it's one of the big talking points in the [Music] game that was one of the most objections I've ever heard from Milly one-onone Ste STP no she's held and then you strip it [Applause] out a k trying to isolate a one-on-one situation here got the ball away and it's a try do has reached out you s been in the first half he's come back and played a pretty strong hand and finally an English number 12 gets a little bit of Joy here at Alan Stadium today here NRL equivalent Elliot Whitehead had two stance to the send bin and earn the eye of everybody everyone was booing him but on the Harvey Norman replay the English lass reaches out does a good job here well attended too but gets out and gets it down I'm giving her that what about the leadup work Gracie Kemp on the Harvey Norman [Music] replay we saw it in the earlier part of the replay she just ran with some purpose harming off roosters players left right in center nice little offload Holly may do did very well to come back score those points try confirmed they were listening to you again Gus lovely KCK so what do you think of these top four 10 I suppos to throw the Titans in Ran what do you uh with your analysis of who sits where in the pecking order is the ladder an adequate gauge of where you think the teams are at at the moment yeah I do I do I think obviously the next couple of weeks are going to be the real litus test especially for the Sharks coming up against the roosters next week at home and then the uh the Broncos in the final round that'll be a big test or the week after I should say so those two weeks they'll be something that Tony Herman will have circled in his diary and just wanting his team to make sure that they hitting their straps but yeah that Log Jam from 2 to 7 absolutely it's been an in well not inconsistent but there's been plenty of big upsets throughout the competition in [Applause] [Applause] 2024 help help help that's h [Music] [Applause] i' got to say that right hand side for cber they' really tried hard Wiki's been pretty good and DOD despite spending 10 minutes in the beIN has toiled away admirably mat playing it shant Ash qu hary [Applause] Nichols K and pernick combining in defense [Music] n VI shant T is trying a one-on-one steal can't get itara last minute of Play Good win by The Roosters maintain their lofty position on the ladder and there's Matt and ran have been talking about big top four clashes next weekend in the nrlw to match some really big games in the NRL positions within the eight positions for the eight roll up for grabs and we are into September yes on oh oh Nichols spectacular she's been phenomenal in aight that was tremendous she's near been the best player on the field even though they've gone down 34 to 20 she had a great [Music] game so after they LED 10- n the Raiders couldn't maintain the rage and class has really risen to the Chop here pretty comprehensive win in the end for the roosters girls correcting that blip up on the go Coast last week fulltime roosters 34 Raiders 20 here at alians
