NRLW's Roosters fly against Broncos amid controversy
The Sydney Roosters strengthen their grip on a second consecutive NRLW minor premiership by enacting a modicum of grand final revenge in a 34-20 victory against Brisbane.
The Sydney Roosters secured a 34-20 victory over the Brisbane Broncos at Lang Park, continuing their unbeaten season with a win. This was the Roosters' first match of the season. The Gold Coast Titans posted their sixth straight win for the first time in club history, defeating the St George Illawarra Dragons at home. The Roosters' victory narrowed the gap between them and Brisbane to just a one-win advantage with four games remaining in the season.
The match was marred by a controversial decision that awarded Roosters winger Brydie Parker a try despite her teammate Jess Sergis pushing Broncos center Deleni Paitai in the lead-up to the score. Despite Georgia Bartlett reducing the deficit, Parker added another try, and Sergis crossed again, keeping the Roosters undefeated. The Roosters' strong attack proved decisive, with prop Brianna Clark sent to the sin bin for a dangerous tackle.
