The Sharks have been defending well in this second half and it seems it’ll take something out of the ordinary from the Roosters to break it – so they deliver one of the great team tries of the season. A shift to the right puts Mark Nawaqanitawase into a bit of space, but not enough for even the freakish winger to score – so instead he flicks a pass around his back before being bundled over the sideline.

The Roosters pick up on Marky Mark’s cue and start playing hot potato, a series of short passes ending when Connor Watson beats a tackle and runs clear to score between the posts.

The raid began with a pretty harsh six-again in centre field, and amongst the classy play on offer tonight tries from six-agains have also been a theme of this game so far.

Roosters 24, Sharks 10 with 27 minutes left
