Well deserved Roosters. The refs tried to give it to Canberra there.

Apart from them letting Sydney off with their trainer being on the pitch who stopped a charge down going down field and then giving Sydney the scrum which they scored off the back of; and the refs waving for a new set and Canberra playing as if it was tackle1 and Sydney being given the turnover which they scored off the back of!

But Canberra only really had one superstar (Whiteon) who looked like he could really do something special to unlock the Sydney defence. He’s an exceptional player but Canberra just didn’t have anyone else at his level.

The word mate has been used 732 times in the post match interviews so far, that's every 3rd word. Fact

Australians really need to increase their vocabulary

Roosters defence is so good. So well drilled.

Did they also say 'listen' at the start of every sentence? Hate that.

They start every sentence with this weird noise “ooooooorrrrrrrrrrr” n’all. It’s like a cross between a cow, a sheep and a motorbike.

Thought Raiders were the better team overall by distance bar the opening 10 minutes.just couldn't quite find the play to break the roosters who defended brilliantly . Awful call on the 6 to go, but game breaking play from the roosters on the next set to win it.

Really absorbing final i enjoyed it.

Some terrible reffing mistakes in there. If that had happened over here there would have been a meltdown.

Brilliant late try by the Roosters backs -- Luke Keary, to centre Latrell Mitchell who gave a brilliant one handed pass on to winger Dàniel Tupou, who ràn well before sending a beautiful pass inside to the ever present full back James Tedesco, who scored.

What a shame the Roosters victory was tainted by the earlier blunder by the referee Ben Cummins.
