In what was an electric first fourty minutes for the Roosters, five unanswered tries would result in a big win on enemy soil. 

Cooper Cronk was outstanding against the Dragons, steering his team around the park, filling in kicking goals and playing part in most of the points scored on the night. 

The Dragons fought hard in the second half, but ultimately the Roosters would come away with a big win.
