CC Roosters 34 def Balmain 16
The game was far closer than the scoreline suggests. Errors and poor discipline hurt the Tigers. They dropped the ball over the line twice in the first half and went to the break down 10–4, with a player in the bin. Tries either side of halftime made it harder, but with all 13 on the field Balmain responded well, scoring on three unanswered tries with the score locked at 16 all. Ultimately though, too many handling errors and penalties killed their momentum, allowing the Roosters to run in a few late tries. They’ll need a much better performance in Round 3 against the Eels.
