Stats Wrap: Round 25

The Sydney Roosters recorded a dominant 34-12 victory over the Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium on Friday night to claim the prestigious Jack Gibson Cup. 

James Tedesco and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii both crossed the stripe twice to help the Tricolours' points tally, while Luke Keary produced a hat-trick of try assists to his team well and truly on the front foot. 

Bone rattling tackles from Victor Radley, Lindsay Collins and Brandon Smith kept the Eels to just two converted tries in an impressive outing by the entire forward pack, who stepped up to bring the intensity in the absence of Jared Waerea-Hargreaves.
