Your Round 1 Man Of The Match

We asked fans to vote for who they believed was their best on field in Round 1 and the results are in.

In what was a one-sided player poll, the general consensus agrees that Captain Jake Friend was the star performers for the Sydney Roosters last Friday night.

The Captain was outstanding in his 80 minutes on field, racking up a try, 2 line breaks, 3 tackle breaks, an incredible 68 tackles and 89 kicking metres.

Friend received 68% of all votes to lead the Man Of The Match poll after Round 1.
