NRL 2025 live: Roosters lead Panthers after Warriors stun injury-hit Manly

Seriously good stuff, this. Sandon Smith and Mark Nawaqanitawase create space inside their own half for Daniel Tupou down the left. Tupou throws it back inside for James Tedesco, who draws Dylan Edwards and sends it to Smith to complete a special try. The Roosters have a good lead now, and Edwards doesn’t look quite right in backfield either – he may have a groin issue, but is playing on.

Smith kicks the conversion too. The Roosters were 11-1 underdogs in this game, and they’re now in the box seat to win it.

Roosters 34, Panther 24 after 58 minutes
