They’re in again. This is very worrying for a team already out of form.
Sam Walker is the man this time, scoring a try like he would have scored in his Queensland backyard for so many years of his childhood.
He dinks a little grubber for himself on the last, it’s knocked down by Cameron Murray, and before Latrell Mitchell can dive on it, Walker toes it forward again for a simple put down. That is deadset backyard stuff.
It all started with a poor kick at the other end.
Footy Dean’s first attacking kick of the night is not one that will make his coach Jason Demetriou happy.
Just as South Sydney start to make some inroads after the Roosters’ adventurous play on a kick return breaks down with Joseph Suaalii’s pass to James Tedesco, Dean Hawkins put in a kick that is neither too high or too long for any of his chasers and Joseph Manu collects it easily in goal for a seven tackle set.
At the end of it, his opposite number made him pay.
Walker nails the easy conversion attempt.
