The Sydney Roosters were hanging on for dear life in Round 21 and looking for a long awaited victory over the Canberra Raiders in Canberra for the first time since 2010.

There was a lot to like about the match, from the emotion behind Cooper Cronk's final match in Melbourne, the challenge of facing an undefeated team on their turf and it being the first meeting between the two sides since the 2018 NRL Grand Final.
The Roosters were off to a hot start in the first half and looked near unstoppable, until the Storm tilted the momentum in their favor to lock things up in the second.
In the end, it took one perfect set of six in Golden Point for the Roosters to escape with a thrilling victory.
MOST EXCITING PROSPECT 2020 | SAM VERRILLS
Despite a number of exciting players to choose from, fans have sided with young gun dummy-half Sam Verrills as the most exciting of the youngsters.
Fans got a good taste of Verrills in 2019, with 14 first grade appearances and eleven in the starting 13.
Verrills was twice voted by fans as the Man Of The Match and gained widespread acclaim for his maturity, as well as his service and speed out of dummy-half.
