NRL: The Roosters have thrashed the Eels 38-14 to keep their top two hopes alive on a water-logged Allianz Stadium.
Chooks down Eels to confirm finals berth | 01:46The Broncos are in sevens heaven with their high-flying convert Stacey Waaka and fellow winger Julia Robinson stealing the show as the hosts made it back-to-back wins with a 28-22 victory over the Raiders.
It took her just a minute to show how dangerous she is in the air when she flew high to reel in an Ali Brigginshaw kick, with some quick hands setting up Shenae Ciesiolka for the first of her two tries. The script writers nailed the moment with Waaka then winning it with five minutes to go when she latched onto a Ciesiolka pass to break the deadlock after some poor goal-kicking kept Canberra in the contest.Waaka may have dominated the first half, but it was all Robinson after that with the rep star breaking Canberra hearts with two incredible plays in the space of five minutes to give Brisbane a 10-point lead.
That freakish ability was on show with a spectacular finish in the corner as she flew for the line and kept her feet in the air to get the ball down, before Robinson plucked an intercept and raced 85 metres when the Raiders looked certain to score.They may have dropped their third game in a row, but the Raiders didn’t lose any admirers after they pushed Brisbane all the way despite being starved of possession and losing two players to injury.
