Tedesco gets a double

James Tedesco crosses to score his second try in three minutes as the Roosters continue to poke holes in the Dolphins defence.

This game is doing magnificent things for the Roosters for and against as they battle it out in the middle of the ladder for a spot in the top eight.

Tedesco strikes first in second half

A penalty for an illegal strip gives the Roosters a leg up field, and the Tricolours pick up where they left off in the first half.

Sam Walker once again delivers with the short kicking game as James Tedesco beats Isaiya Katoa and Josh Kerr to the in-goal to ground the ball and score.

Walker adds the extras with the conversion and the Roosters are well on their way to 50.

Second half under way

We’re into the final 40 minutes at Suncorp Stadium, and of course, it’s Spencer Leniu who takes the first carry for the Roosters.

Hard to see how the Dolphins turn it around from here, but they are a team who certainly know how to score points once they get going – let’s see if they can recover from this 30-point deficit.

Leniu scores to give Roosters 30-point lead at half-time

Talk about rubbing salt into the wound, Spencer Leniu surges through the Dolphins defence – shaking off Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Kulikefu Finefeuiaki – to score as we hit half-time.

Nothing too extravagant from Leniu for his try celebration, just an infuriating ‘shhhhh’ to the camera – that’s sure to frustrate the Dolphins.

Dolphins defence crumbles as Savala scores

The Roosters are starting to run away with this one, as Hugo Savala crosses to score.

Billy Smith kept the ball alive with a flick pass out the back, and a touch from Jamayne Issako handed the Roosters a fresh set of six.

James Tedesco skips across field and finds Nafahu Whyte before he offloads to Savala to score.

Roosters take 18-point lead with try for Radley

Victor Radley slices through the Dolphins defence after the short ball from Connor Watson and the Roosters are in the points again.

Lovely pass from Watson to get Radley over the line, as Sam Walker adds another two to the tally with the conversion.

Smith adds to Roosters tally as players return from the bin

Spencer Leniu is back on the field and he takes the first carry from the kick-off after Billy Smith adds another to the Roosters tally.

High drama at Suncorp, as Leniu surges into the Dolphins pack.

Incorrect restart from Tedesco adds to Roosters pain

As if there wasn’t enough drama in this match already (need I remind you that we still have four players in the sin bin), James Tedesco sends the ball soaring over the dead ball line from the kick-off.

Uh oh, rookie error from the veteran fullback, and an incorrect restart which gives the Dolphins possession 30 metres out from the Roosters line.
