38 min: A superb last-tackle kick by DCE appeared to produce a second Roosters try (to Toia), but it’s disallowed by the bunker because of a controversial illegal challenge in the air by Nawaqanitawase, who tried to deflect the kick backwards with one hand. The Nine commentators are blowing up about the head-scratching call with words such as “disgraceful” and “outrageous” being thrown about. But soon after the Roosters receive a penalty and Walker extends the lead with a penalty goal. Roosters 8-0 at half-time.
