A word from the Coach, Shannon Rushworth: "The boys had a very physical and competitive game against a strong Roosters side (Round 1).
"It was a game that ebbed and flowed. We got out to a good 18-point lead, however, the Roosters didn't go away and closed the margin to within 8 points before we regathered ourselves and finished strong.
"There was a lot we took from this game, both good and bad, but what was positive is we all had to work through a bit of adversity and fought our way back into the game when momentum was against us.
"It's a big game this weekend against the Knights who are coming off a Round 1 win and who will want to make amends for last season. We are looking forward to the challenge and testing ourselves against the best."

A word from the Coach, Steve Turner: "Round 1 was a good first hit out for the team against one of the contenders of the competition. Despite the loss, there was a lot to like out of the game with plenty of positives for the boys to take into this week's match against the Knights.
"The key takeaway from the game for the side is how you regain momentum and put yourself back in the contest, having led 14-6 in the second half. The maturity of the squad and their competitiveness will drive them to learn from last week.
"A strong start to the season for Mitch Woods, Logan Spinks, Sosaia Alatini, Fou Seve and Jethro Rinakama."
